GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR

ChrisUR

I know it has been a while again since my last post but as always there are so many things that need my attention - even though I'm proud to show you the final look of the GT-R plenum conversion WITH strut brace.

Hope you like it as much as I do - the brace has been tested at 2 trackdays already and you can feel no difference versus the stock brace (although you feel a big difference if you skip the brace completely).

the last but not least important step will now be an UpRev tune to see what can really be gained from this but as far as "installation" I claim the project finished !

as soon as I have some patience to go through all the costs, steps and parts that have been involved in this project from beginning about 2 years ago to the final result you see above I will calculate a reasonable price for those who want to buy the same setup !

for the strut bar this is really no big magic, I could company with somebody who is able to do the welding and give him all the measures, geometry, material, etc. so this can be done directly in the US to avoid huge shipping costs.

Coming along good cant wait for this to be done and ready to ship out to the masses

lol can you tell everyone is a bit impatient for this. Don't take it as everyone being pushy, take it as people excited for what you have done.


Now give us the adapter. NOW... we wont say it again... lol

We don't know who you are. We don't know why you want to take long. If you are looking for a sh*t ton of money, I can tell you we have it. But what we also have are a very particular set of skills; skills we have acquired over a very long career on the internet. Skills that make us a nightmare for people like you. If you put the adapter into production now, that'll be the end of it. We will not look for you, we will not pursue you. But if you don't, we will look for you, we will find you, and we will rip the adapter out of your car to make copies of it.

Some of us with turbo kits had to put a spacer under the strut bar, and there's next to no clearance between the bar and the hood. Would your design fit? I know it's hard to answer without the car in front of you, but I'm just looking for a ballpark guess.

How big of a spacer do you need? Can you go with a thinner spacer? I know mine is different but I have no contact on mine.

It's maybe 1/4" at most. I'm not sure how much the engine moves against its mounts, so I'm not sure if you'd get contact when the motor moves.

Upon closer inspection, the spacer may no longer be necessary due to the way the bar curves.

Damn I'm excited and putting off buying the m-370 in hopes this will produce higher numbers

@Chuck
I'm pretty sure this modified strut bar will fit every turbokit piping ! the GTR plenum sits a bit higher than stock so the piping is also a bit higher. We made the strut bar so it clears both the piping underneath as well as the hood (its a flawless fit without touching marks on the hood) and of course the oil dip stick in front. Everything is accessible and can be operated without any restrictions.

Well, the main point of interference with the stock bar was at the throttle bodies, so the design of the bar looks to have eliminated that issue. At that point the only other bit that would need adjustment is the pipes leading to the throttle bodies, correct?

Thanks Chris! I really appreciate your innovation with this. Please do let us know when you get around to it for the price and breakdown of each.

Will you be sourcing the manifolds or just the adapter and the brace?

If you could make a complete kit with just the adapter and any needed/extended lines, bolts etc and then have a price for just the brace and of course for the entire package.

That would be awesome.
