This should fit the HR. You would need the VHR lower manifold and VHR fuel rail.

I was going to pull the trigger on this Lower plenum, but when the guy said $1600 I was like this guy thinks I'm stupid or something. I just told him straight up its too expensive!! He didn't really like my comment and he started trying to make fun of me because I told him I was going to try to make one myself then. He said " I'm going to keep one here next to me for when you give up trying you can call is buy it...." Freaking Jerk!

Yeah that's why they won't be selling many. Horrible business ethics. And lastly 1600 and it doesn't even include half the stuff you need like the manifold and so on. For that much it would need to be making a lot of power which I'm sure it doesn't. It's basically an adapter for a different mani

Exactly!!! It's just an adapter, he started going off on me saying that they spent I dont how many thousands of dollars for he 3D scanning and the 3 engineers that worked in developing the adapter. I think they just want their investment back real quick! That's just not the way to do business! 👎🏼

AAM is not complete, unless I'm missing something. You would need 370z fuel rail and lower intake manifold. Even with that manifold the lower manifold is a huge bottle neck. RJM solution basically improved more air flow in comparison to stock. 1880+fuel rail+lower manifold it will be close to the RJM with GTR manifold.

A GTR lower sits on a flat surface and VQHR/VHR sit on 45 degree angles.

Start an open source movement to create a HR adapter for the full GTR plenum stack. 3D print and try until the adapter is dialed in, then line up a fabber to make the piece off of the 3D object.

I tried putting th manifold on but ver small Fitment issues emerged... 2 tabs that I'm pretty sure that hold the injector harness hit

Looks good, what kind of fuel rails will work with them? How was the price?

Thanks Juztin, GTM fuel rails and return system which is already installed on my Z and well price was pretty good. Not as bad as RJM..... 😂

AAM not complete, but depending on the price, for me it came out the same cost.

The thing about RJM that people need to understand is it can be worth it depending on how high of HP you go, because it allows you to run aftermarket GTR manifolds. Some of those manifolds have top mount secondary fuel rail locations, which you'll need for certain power.

It's not just about power numbers, its about being able to withstand the amount of power people are going for. 370z guy using RJM close deck block and other part hitting 4 digits and the stock manifold blew up on the dyno.

This manifold isnt really for NA cars, but higher 4 digit HP cars.

Depending on how cheap you can get a upper manifold, it will be near the same price as Gamma and possibly less than AAM.

How much did you spend on the GTR upper manifold and cover?
