Is the v4.0 manifold the intake manifold? Is it the one shown as Sam's avatar pic? Only for FI or will NA see some benefits as well?

I don't know about Sam's avatar picture, but the manifold being referenced is the lower intake manifold that connects the upper intake plenum (visible) to the heads. This is the custom piece that will allow us to make use of the intake plenum from the VR38 motor.

Were you guys able to get it back on the dyno this week?

I ordered the Stage II last week... definitely itching for updates since this is all I'm waiting for at the moment.

Well, then spell it correctly! "Fiancee." *haha* You, sir, are the "fiance"!

I'm sure i've missed it but have their been flow tests on the VQ35HR and VR38DETT intake manifolds? How much better does the VR38DETT manifold flow?

1slow370 · 06-16-2011, 04:40 AM

flow isn't going to be the biggest advantage with the vr plenum from what i see, they both flow sufficiently for the motor but the vr manifold has nice tapered runners and plenum shape to distribute air better it may also have harmonic gains over the hr and vhr plenums that won't show up in the flow test but could have a significant effect on torque and horsepower. best of all the new manifold set will be all aluminum for increased manifold durability under boost.

I would love to be able to get the VR38 Plenum installed along with the stage 2 this month, but it looks like I may end up playing it safe and just have Baker install the kit.

Nice, almost 100 pages of posts.
