But this is prettier, so I think that cancels out and we're back to the power question. I kinda doubt there's going to be a lot of NA gains, but I have a feeling it will really shine with boost.

obviously. no intake manifold really helps out N/A that much. boosted cars always benefit more with manifolds.

I already have the cover and intake manifold, but no hardware (bolts, fasteners, screws etc). Can you supply the hardware? Will the adapter work with the oem fuel rail setup? Will the adapter come with new hardware to mate with the VHR?

Mike/Sam, for someone running this on an N/A setup, but in the future plans to go TT, which fuel rail setup would you recommend so they don't have to buy multiple setups? the -6 or the -8?

-6 will do. -8 if you are planing on doing big power on E85

No big power, 500 streetable and normal pump gas. Thanks Sam!

Ouch, too rich for my blood considering I have all of the power I will ever need. Nice products though!!!

SPOHN · 07-25-2013, 03:37 PM

This mod the more I think about is worth the price for what you get such as the material (and the quality of it) and there's no doubt it will make power. I could see this making +15whp with tune on NA and +25-30whp on tuned FI. Not to mention this GTR manifold makes ease for direct port nitrous/ meth into the runners.

Just be on the clear, per say I intall this on my 7AT with my 18 mhi kit with my VB of course included and 25R tranny cooler, I can't go past 520hp (assumption) because my engine will go Boom?

If that was the case 20+ people here would of done that years ago. Take assumptions and research facts with the search feature.

Sometimes it's not about HP all the time but efficiantcy.

Your tranny will let go long before your motor blows.

Alstann · 07-25-2013, 06:47 PM

Sad about the OEM fuel rails not working.

Mike, would there be any downside to running the -8 fuel rail? I wanted to have the overhead for down the line, in case I wanted more power.

E: Also, I sent Sam a PM, but from my understanding, if I can have a shop weld on the AN fittings, just a small amount of AN stainless steel flex hose would be able to suffice as the crossover, correct? I think I should be able to get this done for a very good price, so I might go this route.

Alstann · 07-26-2013, 04:33 PM

Some would say I jumped the gun. I couldn't pass up a deal to get my hands on one of these!

And yes, it came with a balance tube. ^^

370Z JT · 07-26-2013, 04:56 PM

Is the balance tube necessary?

I guess soo, a while ago I read an article about gain if the balance tube were slightly bigger.
Which means it has a purpose.
