With my z now close to being finished I'm now looking for another project car. I've thought about possibly a muscle car so I could have the best of both worlds but knowing Toyota is coming out with a new supra I don't want to pull the trigger too soon on anything..

Just picked up a used oem plenum and will be doing some r&d on it very soon. Knowing this plenum was made for a na car I believe there are always improvement's that can be applied if someone takes the time and patients. Also keep in mind plastic is a lot better than any metal for heat soak. If no gains are made no gains are made and a true independent review will be posted . This attempt will be to help FI applications and possibly na cars but I wouldn't count on it...
Knowing Motordyne has already done this with success,I'm still curious ..

COSMO · 05-26-2016, 04:40 PM

Just an update, the motor is built and leak down test performed. Everything checks out and the motor should be going back in Monday...

COSMO · 06-05-2016, 05:27 PM

A few pics before the motor went back into the car..

Was on a gtr forum the other day and noticed some tool trying to sell his 370z on there for over 100k. As I laughed my @ss off as they were giving him **** for claiming he broke all kinds of records with the car. He also said he would be willing to trade for a gtr. lmao!!!

So why did you go this route instead of getting a gtr?

COSMO · 06-05-2016, 07:03 PM

After having many z car's I just like them, what a great platform to build off of. Plus I do a little real estate on the side and just can't justify spending 100k on a car when I could buy a house to flip for a modest profit. I have no where near that amount vested in my car and it's paid for anyway.
