I know this topic has been beat to death, but I am so frustrated that the HR's still do not have anything that is compatible with the engine other than a few bolt on applications..When are the F/I companies and the engine companies going to come out with compatible equipment and internals for the HR?
Am i missing something?

Spoke with George the other day..he said he had some compatible parts..after tax time i will have around 10K to start..so im just going to see what i can start off with on that...
Didn't I read somewhere on the forums that HKS got a car and once they opened the hood and saw two throttle bodies that they just closed the hood and shipped the car back?
Now tell me if I'm wrong but isn't the New GTR dual throttle bodied and they seem to have alot of parts out for the new car.
So why can't they do anything with our car?

I coulda sworn with any new car there is really no aftermarket support for the first year or so.
I think we have a decent set of options so far. Its a new motor. Give it time

The lack of kits for the HR I don't think is due to the inability to design around the new motor, I am sure it's the problem with engine management. I talked to GTM as well. They can do the FCON but they have to hardwire it into the car.

Maybe you should be happy that in stock form, the HR is much faster than a non-revup z with $5k worth of N/A add-ons + tuning

what do you mean hardwire it into the car? that means that they would have to splice into the wires correct (there are no connectors)?

Robert meaning they are not able to use the "plug and play" option.

.... possibly a stroker if they have one that is compatible with the HR's.
