GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR

ChrisUR

just gauging interest - after doing some test fitment of the GT-R manifold this weekend I think about designing my own lower intake adapter to mount it to the VQ37HR cause GTM seems to need some more time to reveal theirs and as there is no ETA still for months I don't want to wait for them.

Just so you have an idea I will construct and calculate it via CAD and run some virtual dynos with it. The final product will be made out of aluminum, the flanges will be CNC'd using 5-axis and the welding will be done professionally here in Germany by the same company who welds for Airbus.

If there is enough people ready to buy I might produce it as a cast unit (also done in Germany in aircraft quality, no chinese crap), but that depends on how many units I can sell as the initial costs for a cast form are very high.

all testing will be done on my own N/A 370Z first so the primary goal for the construction is adding some HP to the stock naturally aspired engine, but of course it is very clear that this mod will help the FI people the most as this is a FI manifold.

please let me know !

sunds interesting....

I might be in depens on the results, its hard to say im in for 100% sure because if it was that easy, GTM could have done it loooong time ago.

But props for you for trying

ChrisUR

its absolutely not easy and I guess I know why GTM takes so long, because this is in no way a P'n'P solution ! There are a lot of clearance issues and you need to extend a sensor wiring plus replace some hoses with shorter/longer ones plus modify the mounting position for the intake pipes on the throttlebodies etc. - when I'm done with the prototype I will do a full photostory of the installation or maybe a video for ease.

Just to make clear I'm building this for my car definitely because I WANT to do it just wanted to see how many other people are interested.

So not a 1 hour job like with the M370 but hey, this is something completely different not just a stock part mystically modified
