Has anyone made an aftermaket intake manifold for the HR 350Z ?

 

i dont think so

 

I don't think we need it. Especially since GTM is building a 1000whp VHR. Unless they're making a custom one.

 

Supposedly the heads and intake flow extremely well according to GTM. Id imagine with their 1000 hp build they may at least change the intake and port the heads. I have a pdf file from nissan and the intake design really is beautiful. Probly have to make insane power before they become a bottleneck.

 

my thoughts exactly

 

The only issue I'd ever think someone would run into is the fact that the manifold is a composite. Some mustang guys need to replace theres when they start getting into serious boost. The manifolds crack due to the extreme pressure. That may only be because of the design. I doubt there will be many people willing to put that much toward their Z. If so, a custom manifold wouldn't be out of their reach. For the rest of us, the stock manifold should work fine.

 

i was wondering if a design kinda like the GTR manifold would work on the HRs and if it would make power

 

we'll see soon enough

I'm waiting for it to come in from nissan gonna test fit and do some dynos

I really dont expect it to make power its probably just gonna be a engine dress up part

 

When can we expect your results?

 

Well I'm still waiting on the part to come in, and my car is in the body shop getting repairs, it should be out of the body shop sometime early to mid February.

So sometime after that. Early March most likely

 

If you notice the tic tac toe design on the intake, that should help a lot with structural rigidity. Up to what point who knows.

 

What did you order from japan?

 

I have no idea where its coming from I ordered it through my shop... They also own a nissan dealership so getting the part was pretty easy since they have a shop GTR as well

I dont think any joe schmo can walk into the dealership and say hey I want a gtr manifold, order it for me now.

 

I dont see why anyone couldnt get one, a part is a part. Must be pretty freakin expensive tho. Let us know what happens.

 

Greddy had already made a prototype and it's actually being used on their widebody Greddy 350z. not sure if it will ever see production though..
