VQ37VHR intake manifold???

DIGItonium

Instead of going OT in the Kinetix thread, I'm reviving this thread specific to the GT-R's intake plenum. It took me awhile to figure out how the GT-R intake plenum (manifold?) connected to the cylinder heads and how we got the square cutouts with our intake plenum. That 2nd piece on our VQs (intake collector from prior posts?) is pretty much the missing piece of the puzzle that takes us from the square cutout of the intake plenum to the round cutouts entering the cylinder head.

I'm not knowledgeable in this area so I may get my terminologies mixed up... but this is quite fun. It reminds me of the Honda hybrid builds back in the day.

So let's say we eliminate this "intake collector." I wonder how the GT-R intake manifold will sit in our VQ37. One member mentioned seeing a picture of a VQ37 with a GT-R intake manifold.

Pricey... but sound fun. It'll be somewhat close to building a hybrid, or an idea to get rid of the intake collector and feed the intake runners directly to the cylinder heads.
