I will be awaiting this epic list of epicly stuff.

Maybe I should take another suitcase or two with me to america and try shoving a TT kit in there

Just use the shrink ray.

The release date of the shrink ray has been delayed again.

Mike, how's the progress on your car? IIRC, last I heard was the fuel system was being put back in. Is the lower manifold the last piece of the puzzle before test running the engine?

JB-370z · 02-27-2011, 10:15 AM

Your ready for that GTR manifold DIGI!!! I love it too, I will have one under the hood as well.

Oh man, I literally spent all day reading all 82 pages of this this thread. Me + this thread today =

Bullitt, props to you on the build and everything you and GTM have put into it. Count me in as another person excited to see the results and the car in action.

Can not believe all the hate that I saw in this thread, it's ridiculous. If you have such a problem with it, then stay out of it. No need to periodically pop in and inject some hate into it.

DIGItonium · 03-07-2011, 06:58 PM

I'm probably one of those "yahoos" inquiring about updates.

Daniel, if you have interest or plans to get any of these products once it goes into production, more power to you. Otherwise, feel free to rant offsite if you don't have anything to bring to the table. Granted, I don't have much to contribute either, but I'm happy say that I have a VR38 intake collector and engine cover in hand ready for Baker this June.

Hopefully GTM can pull this off by June since this is all I need to complete the project. Plus, it'll be a fraction of the power Bullitt is making.

@Bullitt & GTM, have you heard anything from Rapid? Are they revising the drawings? Also, is the gasket thickness taken into consideration when designing the manifold?

Mike@GTM · 03-08-2011, 02:05 PM

Here's a quick update on the intake. It is still being revised and we are working to ensure everything on the prototype lines up this time around. Here's a couple quick pictures of the computer model as it is currently. Although the problem was very minor, once we started correcting the issues, we ended up having to do a lot more to the model. It is staggering how much time it takes to do this. Once you make a full 3D model, it is a royal PITA to fix something.

I know I missed something somewhere. Big thread here. So this is going to be the custom intake for a GTR plenum to fit?

It's a custom lower manifold to resolve fitment issues with the intake collector (plenum). The orientation of the runners are reversed, and the openings are round (versus square with ours). There are photos of my GTR intake plenum in the album, or you can backtrack a few pages of drama to get to my post.

Basically yes! Thanks digi!

This is a conversion lower manifold to allow users to mount a VR38 Intake Plenum to their VQ style motors.

Ok, thanks. I'll have to search later tonight. To much trouble on my iPhone.

Uh, why didn't you guys just use GTR heads?

The point of this was to push VVEL and to make a VQ37 or now VQ45 motor with VVEL break 1000rwhp. GTR heads are not needed and an unnecessary expense...
