for N/A applications, we might put it on the G (since its the only Stock VQ powered car at the shop) and see what it does for N/A applications once tim finishes this prototype. But in person, this plenum is bad ***. Every single person who has come into the shop and has seen it being built drools over it.

BLING BLING HOLLA BACK chrome plated with stickers all over it, and lost 20whp, most people would be lined up with their credit card in hand,so as long as they did not loose their stock strut bar..
I think Tim really knows his stuff, that why we elected to carry his products in our shop and are really happy with the quality and the results.This is why I am 100% confident that if Tim does release this plenum it will outflow every plenum on the market..

I know these pics have been on this forum before, but I just wanted to make sure this design was considered as well. I think it's just a "one-off", but maybe it might give you (TurboTim) some more ideas.

Frankly, I like this design better. Less bends and piping. However, we shall see what sort of gains are achieved...that will be the determining factor.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Az
The intake is at the polishers getting blinged out We did some quick testing on the flowbench.It flows well but will need twin TB's to flow past 800 hp. The stock intake flowed well but wasnt as balanced as ours.So we will be installing it on my car sometime this week and going to the dyno to see what happens.

yes I can make another g35 intake manifold as the one on the Havoline Racing Revolution Infiniti G35. Requires alot of labor serious only 50 percent down payment or you can simply take the one from the Havoline car $cost 5,000.00

That's awesome dude. I love how that thing just looks. Hey as long as it didn't loose hp I'd slap that puppy on there. And I know your going to post pics with it on your car!!
Hey, Tim, when you go dyno just make sure there is no bolt lodged in your tire
