Here is another pic of the Intake. Just so everyone knows this will be a bolt on affair.

 

Strictly an engineering question, but was it not feasible to take a more direct approach into the chamber rather than the "DE Style" > 90 degree elbow?

Does the design retain the same shape/length of the OEM runners? Same/similar volume of manifold chamber?

On an somewhat related note: Is it possible using tuning software e.g. UpRev, to get the HR to run on 2 DE TBs? Depending on the answer to this question, is it in the realm of possibility to design the manifold for the DE sized throttle, using an adapter/reducer to mount the OEM HR TBs?

These are just some ideas I've had floating around, since the SG test. If this thing really can be optimized for NA, with the strength for high pressure, it really can be the end-all solution for the HR, with the addition of a slightly different bolt pattern casting for the VHR.

 

Looks pretty good in there. I would like to see a bit more of a "horn" setup in there.

In reference to TK. I'm assuming the longer runners are to bring the tq up for better driveability.

 

Pardon the noob question, but how would the factory and/or aftermarket intakes hook up to those throttle body inlets? Would the N/A applications have a curve so that the intakes can connect to them? Obviously, the TB's are more to the side and not straight forward like the new design is?

 

Well, since it is still in the modeling phase, it is far from done. The manifold is actually being designed with stock TB in mind, so that all aftermarket intakes, etc would still fit.

i do, however, like the idea of setting the flange size to accept DE TB's with a machines reducer for HR TB's to those who still run them. I'm sure ill see the guy today thats modeling this and bring it up to him

I like the look. It is sort-of reminiscent of the R35 look. As for performance...im in for testing

 

Based on that feature alone, I'd buy if it made the same power as stock.

 

I would like 1 of these as well. Even if the gains were minimal.

 

Have you guys run any pressure modeling on these? I've seen some manifolds of similar design and depending on the firing order the "end" entrance plenums can benefit from a front balance tube, a baffle, or some other pressure modifying device.

Consider that each runner creates a low pressure zone at its firing time, and as air flows past the TB it will be a pulsed fashion. If the front cylinders airflow has to pass through a rear cylinders low pressure zone, it may have a lower VE.

I seem to remember reading of a few engines dropping the same valve, could be a heat issue related to localized lean burn (which could also be related to the overly rich stock tune Nissan ran).

 

It will have a balance tube. No worries, this is being professionally designed by someone that knows what they are doing and knows way more than we will probably ever know

We are expecting the first prototype by the end of this week or early next week!

 

 

I may have missed this part, but will a strut tower bar still be able to fit, or will that no longer be an option?

 

x2... Subscribed to know the same thing.

 

Im pretty sure it will. GamerModz is building this with resale in mind.

 

This intake will work with the factory brace.

 

When/where do I go, to pre-order? I recall earlier these may be produced for both DE and HR engines. Which one will be ready first?

 

There was no mention of them producing a DE manifold. Only allowing the larger DE TB's to work on their HR intake manifold.

 

O... Reading slower, owns me.
