Just read through the important bits. Great work! Am I to understand that once the car is up and running, that this will be the test bed for real world VVEL tuning? And that up to this point it has been the brains reverse engineering it? Good luck, can't wait to see more progress!

Plus if you are really cool, you would know about Project DiaD.

Chris_1 · 01-25-2011, 04:26 PM

hahahaha I wish! it has taken about a month for them to develop and produce the first production intake manifold. This is a very big/key part and I dont want them rushing or messing it up. I am fine with how they are making it lol Titanium would be tits though lol

christian370z · 01-27-2011, 10:24 AM

Exposed titanium intake manifold runners? Yes please!

DIGItonium · 01-27-2011, 10:55 AM

That would be sick, but it's hard with the VR38 plenum sitting on top. Without the engine cover, it might be noticeable. I'm all for practicality, so plain intake manifold please! Good gawd I still haven't received my VR38 plenum from FsP.

BTW, my plenum came straight from the UK with some extra cooling attachments. Since I've never seen one in person, assuming this is removable, would it work with the GTM setup?

Also, since the engine cover needs to be removed to get access to the oil cap, I wonder if it's possible to keep the OEM oil cap and dremel a section out of the engine cover?

bullitt5897 · 01-27-2011, 12:04 PM

I plan on dremeling mine as well.
