The wait to get the first prototype will only be a few weeks but to do the tooling and get the production version ready will be where the longer wait comes in but it's about 3-4 times less than waiting for China injection molds. Doing everything I can to work my way up the line quicker.

That mock up was printed in cheap, weak material mainly for fitment purposes but I made some improvements on that design and am printing it in the good stuff now which I should be able to actually test on the car.

I have no reason to go for this mod, but this is an interesting project!

Have been distracted by work and other projects lately but I've gone through and made changes after the first test fitment and now I just need to get the new one printed and get it put on. I'm hoping that this one will be good enough to start working on production.

Ran out of money for this project but I haven’t given up on it yet.

What about just a 3d printed lower to accept the R35 upper?

That was my original plan. Had a lot of fitment issues so I need to get my hands on the RJM adapter if anyone has one I can borrow, let me know.

Doing r35 upper will required a new fuel rails set up, also it's been reported more on losing power wise in upper range and people swapping back to stock waffle and gained more. Only issue with stock is that they may only handled max boost roughly 25-28 psi.
