AAM Competition VQ37 Intake Manifold Pre-sale!!!
 

You stil haven't posted any dyno charts, going to be tough to fill 20 spots

from there facbook post first batch arrives in march then testing.. i offered to test for them for a few more bucks off a manifold but no i guess it wasnt worth there while..lol

Very cool! :iagree:

Any dyno chart? :eekdance::eekdance:

^^ :iagree: Yeah Id like to see some kind of numbers first, 2k spent needs to have a decent gain.

yea ill wait for some numbers too. Not much difference between $1900 and $2100.

Sub'd for dyno results.

you must not have read my post where I said the first batch arrives in march[
that's when the testing will take place

Looking forward to dyno results. This thing looks amazing.

PM..d

I'd be I for this but would need to see dyno numbers first. If you guys wanna sell me first ( pre sale ) I have dyno session scedualed on the 23rd I could swap this on test it and compare to my m370 and z1 numbers. The ones you guys are competing with :) and cost a 1/4 price . Let me know

Very interesting...im subscribed

Brian in Bakersfield...

So it's been tested on a 2500hp car at 100psi?

They probably did a flow test on the manifold. There.isnt a z or g platform that has 100 psi and makes 2500 hp. Come on man, (cris berman voice)

True. But I think the point here is that that stated claim just doesn't matter for anyone, ever. Nobody will ever push 100psi or 2500hp on a vq37 so....

Its just a claim that means nothing. If another manifold flows up to 50psi will probably be just as good.

I can't see this making the numbers to buy it...I know some will but for me it's has to be at least 20whp and 20wtq....I just hope they do baseline dyno testing on a car that is already modded

Lol it was sarcasm, man.

I figured lol

This is useless without dynos

Yea, but at least someone is making one for our Z's.

Gotta start somewhere.

Unless the numbers are there to back up the cost I highly doubt anyone would buy this..they should have waited until they them In hand and testing was done! 2 more months until any numbers might be released..

They must know what gains are available. Why market the product.

What marketing... they said look at this manifold, try it without any dynos

I'm certain it's a matter of wanting to try and recoup engineering and manufacturing costs. It does suck to not have numbers to line up with that price tag though.

I still think I might grab one, just the way it looks is sexy enough for me to want it as an engine topper.

Yeah!

Compare that Z1 is available for 275$ (535$ Payng the core) and M370 for 608$

....so....

With the same gain, 1000$ for AEM is so much (The difference that I think to pay is due only for the pretty look intake)!

Think about that a GTR used intake is available for 800$!

That's what I am thinking & that is a lot to gain from just an intake manifold. I hope they make it.

The GTR manifold makes no power on N/A set ups. They ran it on a N/A race car.
It only works on forced induction set ups on a 370 Z or other 3.7 set ups
I would have had one years ago.
I like the look of this manifold but with out a dyno on it I would not buy it.
Its a lot of money but it looks like it quality built.
I have the 370 M on my car and it rocks with it compared to the stock 370 set up
if it make 15 to 20 RWHP more compared to the same set just by switch manifolds then its a great deal. Hopefully it will not loose bottom or midrange power.
On Forced induction it should rock.

Z

275 is reasonable i guess if you have no motivation to sand down and port the manifold yourself.. and if you pay 608$ for a VQ35HR intake that's your fault..

i made the VQ35HR intake for myself for less than 150 dollars.. i ported my own stock manifold myself as well..

would i spend 2000k for a manifold that makes less than 20whp or 20wtq NOPE..

so with taxes and shipping your looking at 2300.. and lets say if nets you 15whp thats 153 dollar a HP..

im not paying 2300$ for something to look pretty with possibly the same gains as something i have on my car already!

Where are u getting this info about the GTR manifold? Whos car?

^^^ agreed.

Eps, is doing testing both this abd rjm manifolds

My email with Michael at AAM

1. is it going to be a baseline Dyno with no tuning
2. would you do a dyno comparison against the stock vs Z1 vs VQ35HR manifold same day?
3.i might look in to this for the future as im going Cams heads and Stroker kit.
4. if you looking for someone to compare all those manifold same day same car i can do it..

5.i have a ported VQ35HR manifold a stock and ported stock..
i would be willing to leave a 2k deposit while the testing is being done..so im willing to eat the cost of dyno time and travel time to my tuner for testing..
All stock baseline numbers for dyno testing with 0 tuning done..

just throwing the above out there because we all know everyone is gonig to want to see independent dyno tesing
as well..

Thanks for your interest in our new AAM Competition Intake Manifold! I am sure we will do a baseline pull for a starting point, but we recommend tuning with any bolt on aftermarket performance upgrade to achieve the upgrades full potential and ensure the vehicle has adapted and running safely due to the changes.

We will be comparing our intake manifold against the stock oem unit, and measuring gains from there. We ourselves will not dyno compare against the Z1 as a general rule of business, but I am sure many will be willing to do so once our manifold hits the shelves.

You will see significant gains on vehicles with serious upgrades, forced induction, and higher displacement. Our IM will be perfect for you since you mentioned cams and stroker kit in the near future.

You are more than welcomed to put our Intake Manifold to the test against the other available options if you’d like! First units are expected to ship in March. I will keep you posted with updates concerning our IM. Contact me with any further questions/concerns you may have!

So basically what he is saying, is that if you don't plan to get serious with building your motor this unit isn't for you.

They are basically saying buy a $2,000 piece based on theory alone. Then build your car and hope all goes well.

Yeah i have to agree with you here, i can't pull the trigger unless i see proven numbers

I don't understand the logic here, Generally you build a prototype and test it, make your tweaks. Than advertise with performance spec's and sell. Maybe this is the engineer in me and having been in the hot rodding game for over 40 years, BUT, to me this takes balls trying to sell a 2K piece of equipment without performance testing. Yes this manifold is show candy, and is an alternative/advantage to running the plastic manifold for FI and have the safety of running higher pressure,but than again you just jamming air in this piece and that's were you increase in power is.
As for the other 80% of us with NA, we need performance numbers before we dump 2k, on an unknown, especially when you can find some gains out of the stock manifold with some careful porting.

Where are you (AAM) at in the development process of this intake manifold?

All this hype with no data or product sure makes it seem like you are taking money from pre-orders to initiate the manufacturing process :wtf2:

there first batch of manifolds arrive in March...thats when testing will take place

Hey guys! I know many of you are anxiously awaiting the dyno numbers for our newest addition to the AAM Competition product line, as we are too!

I will surely update this thread with any updates I come across regarding the Intake Manifold, and answer all questions I can!

We posted the manifold to let our Nissan community know we continue to push the bar for fellow enthusiasts and the platforms we enjoy the most. As we strive and continue to produce the utmost quality products for our clients, for example our TT system, you can expect the same with our intake manifold!

Stay tuned folks!

He is really good with words. Anyone else notice that
