Ditching the casting... going full billet. This means some adjustment to the design to accommodate an alternate manufacturing method from originally intended. I just dont want to deal with the delays and control issues with casting. Too many friends in the industry having too many problems and delays dealing with casting... some having bailed out after investing several thousands. I will go full billet for now, and if its a success maybe then I will work on a refined casting.

Anything I would do would be billet... The horror stories from casting ughhh... that was part of GTM's problems with QC... The only down side is higher cost all around. Cant wait to see what you come up with.

need a test subject once you get some made? lol

phunk · 02-27-2015, 12:00 PM

Yes I currently have a 370z here at the shop that will be used for testing

Well, if you should need another test vehicle, just PM me to discuss.

N/A or F/I car?

ANMVQ · 02-27-2015, 12:39 PM

Was going to offer mine also. I'm testing the M370 and a ported G37 stock mani (Synergy) the end of this month. 5 runs each

phunk · 02-27-2015, 08:05 PM

Its a twin turbo car (mine). For NA testing we will probably borrow a local car from a shop here that works on lots of Z's. By the time we are shipping anything out, it will be finished retail product.

I will be interested in this project for an N/A car. I have a Z1 manifold now and would be interested to see if this produces the same or better gains once it releases. Can't wait to see the finished product!

alfredo24pr · 03-02-2015, 12:20 AM

This looks great. I really hope it makes power on NA.

Elmo370z · 03-02-2015, 02:33 PM

If it makes power on a NA set up, I would be highly interested in a group buy if the price isn't over the top.

phunk · 03-30-2015, 03:41 PM

LOL I dont think I will be at ZDayZ... I am not registered or have any plans at this time. It would be a miracle if my car were done by then, but who knows.

Elmo370z · 03-31-2015, 12:18 AM

Damnit, I want this to happen. This manifold plus jun cams on a modified NA set up would be sick

My pockets don't run that deep lol. That would be a sick set up. I just want 400 whp, until I hit the lotto and can afford to go boost.

Its happening. We are right there. Feb and March are the busy season for my fuel system products... happens every year, never fails. I just made it through in one piece and sales have already gone back to normal. Inventory is looking good and I am in the clear to focus on finishing up R&D.

While I dont think *I* will be able to make it to ZDayZ unless something changes and they allow last second entries, the posts above here got me thinking that perhaps it would be a great idea to see if I could get an intake manifold there for people to see. So I am going to try and use that for my deadline for now.
