GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR

wstar · 05-16-2013, 08:46 AM

Given we have pretty good data now on M370-vs-Stock, it won't be all that hard to compare the new data to the M370 even if the mfg doesn't have an M370 to play with. Based on his preliminary results, I suspect this is going to be a pretty decent intake setup. My main concern at this point is the strut bar stuff. I don't see how you fit a strut bar over that thing, and I'd rather give up these intake gains that give up that strut bar's stiffness (I'm sure most others would make the opposite tradeoff, though, so I'm sure the product will sell).

This is where I stand too. The car comes with a nice triangulated bar from the factory. I don't want to lose that. I'm sure he'll address this issue. It can't be harder than the work he's done so far.

Keep us posted when this starts going to production and if you can do a complete write up for install and post it in DIY section.

I'll definately be getting this.
