I'm curious to see what else Cosworth has for the VQ. The STI engines they build are damn near bombproof

Very nice but Plastic would be alot better for Heat. Also what about equal air-dist to all cylinders? I don't see how it would solve that problem with it's current design..

Cosworth does heads, they've supposedly got pistons and rods, they have rod and main bearings (which I have and plan on using) as well as this new stuff.

The final product will be a cast aluminum piece, and will be nice and polished/matt metal looking. Not sure if it will be bling polished, but I am sure that could be done locally.

The plenum is significantly larger than stock, but they would not release the actual volume increase to the public. Remember, the restrictive lower collector is completely eliminated with this design.

Once we have a better idea of the release date, and a chance to test one out, we'll do a pre-order on them. But I would like to actually test this out on a forced induction car, to validate the results.

this looks like it should be excellent for NA applications, and could pick up a little on high rev over the stock setup... but i would be surprised to see this thing go into the future of the super high HP VQ's

It's just one possible solution. I hear that the folks at CJ Motorsports are working on something as well.

At the end of the day, we're going to have issues with TB size, turbo piping, limited bolt on turbo size options, and lack of super high volume intake plenums. Oh..not to mention lack of cam phasing......plenty more work to be done, before the VQ can easily hit 1000whp in street trim.

Is anyone working on something similar to this one in design?



I know routing the throttle body and piping up front would be a problem, but I'd like to be able to bypass the turbo mounted area on the single turbo kit altogether. It should also flow much better than wrapping around back.
