Default GruppeM Intake

GruppeM is going to make (3) Intakes for the VQ35 motor. None of which are avaliable right now. The intakes are the Power, Super, and Special Filter. I have attached a Dyno from them which is from the Power Filter. The special is the bada$$ one that you want, it is carbon fiber. http://www.gruppem.co.jp/

Well the price for the RB26DETT is a whopping 1021 pounds sterling!

For that price I could buy 6 or 7 AEM intakes and use them for all different kinds of things. Like pouring oatmeal on things.

No prices are listed at the GruppeM website for the Z33. So I used the average from the other vehicles listed converted from Yen:

Power $191

Super $347

Special $1400

all u need is a K&N head intake and a hose to feed the intake...

K&N + hose = 13 hp = $190

gouppeM = 13hp = $1000


Hmmm....

Yeah I'm sure I'm going to put a dryer vent under my hood!

So does anybody know the real deal with this gruppe-M intake ?
Do you really need to supply the intake hose ? Is the carbon fiber egg the filter ?

BTW, Thanks for the install pic z33@tor
