I dont think its really that bad. Summit sells kits:

I personally think its a bit much, especially for Summit, but it sure looks straightforward. Box, tiedown, drill a hole for the vent, then run the wires to the front. I've seen someone throwing a battery and box in the spare tire well, which already has a drain hole for running the wires and a vent.
With the battery down there, you can still drop the targa in without interference. For those crazy serious about weight distribution and positioning, you can put it as far back as reasonably possible this way.

Awesome. I eagerly await it
Update.....
The 3d print is in Que, that means about a week and a half, it will be DONE. A few SM members stopped by today and saw the final 3D cad drawings...maybe they will chime in.
Anyways, 10-14 days and the prototype will be bolted on my 90 supra

Guys the few pictures that Jack has up on his web site does not do justice. I finely stopped by Suprasport with Sean yesterday and met Jack and Greg for the first time, and all I can say is WOW! The 3D models on the solid works looked great. You guys question the runners, and shouldn't. Greg had each runner up on the computer and they look awesome! You can tell alot of time and research has been put into them and the entire FFIM. I don’t even know how to start explaining how they look, but that this FFIM is going to be awesome and will not look like any other FFIM for the 7M out there once finished. I think Jack already posted this but on the top and bottom of each runner there is a spot that can be drilled and tapped for either direct port nitrous, meth injection or both for you guys running those super large turbos. :evil2:
Both Jack and Greg ensured me that this will be a 100% bolt on product and after seeing their shop, materials, tooling, machines and the solid works models I believe them, which will be awesome and well worth the wait for it. Ask me why that is so important.........because I have been trying to get my "custom made" FFIM to work for over a half a year. Ordering this part here, this part there, another one some where else and having to making parts my self that were needed in order to get a throttle body and ISC bolted up. I also had to modify a throttle cable to work with my set up (which I had to make my own ends to connect to the TB and gas pedal). It has been a PITA with the FFIM I have. I think with Suprasport’s FFIM being bolt on it going to be awesome. These guys really know what their doing.
Side note: they also have a 3000GT in the shop and all I can say is holey f***ing sh** that car was outrageous. Greg is working on another project, and lets just call it “I think it might be the highest HP MR2 out there”:naughty:.
Sorry for the post that is more like a book, but I just wanted to share my experience with the rest of you.
Thank you Jack and Greg for the hospitality and cappuccino :thumbup: Keep up the great work.

Great news Greg! BTW I have the OEM cruse control working with the POS FFIM I have and you saw, so I think you guys can get it working with your LIPP FFIM Sean and I will probably swing by next friday the 20th.
Sean and I will probably swing by next friday the 20th.Right on looking forward to seeing the prototype. I broke some parts so I will be buying some stuff next friday.
Cant wait to see the prototype, for that matter I cant wait to have one for my supra!
Do you still expect to have these for sale by May?

We are hoping for May still. It will depend on the foundry. We still have a bunch more work before it is ready but the prototype is the big step right now...once it's in our hands it makes easy motovation to finish it
may have been asked before but do we bolt the harness ground to a bolt on the manifold at the head? i guess so since it will have to be removed anyway since this FFIM appears to be one piece. will the bolts be difficult to get to at the head from underneath?
I will be bolting the prototype on-on monday...it will have the ground provision on the actual casting
