thank you - its really motivation to move on ! I have invested about $700 so far plus about 40 hours of work in total. I assume it will be another 30-50 hours before everything is completely ready and about additional $1500-2000+ just to have the prototype on my car fitted and dyno tested so your appreciation keeps me going.
we are using CATIA as this software is normally used to develop aircraft parts for planes like interior, turbines, gear, etc. - you cannot get much better even though solidworks or inventer are great tools too.
Just so you know we are not simply design something that will fit / allow you to mount the GT-R plenum but also have software to virtually calculate the flow and dyno the part before actually building it. From what we found so far there is a real chance that this modification will yield HP and torque even on a NA car. But only real world testing will show if the theoretical work will pay off so I keep silent until the prototype has been installed on my car - every result will be documented and posted regardless if the result is good or bad.
What I can say so far is that our design should be lightyears better than the cost effective solution Nissan has developed. They use square runners while we use round/elliptic runners perfectly matching both the head ports and the GT-R plenum ports. The flow velocity should be far better than with the stock part which hopefully will help to increase performance - believe me I'm more excited about what we can achive than anybody else !
next step is to actually build this thing - will keep you posted !
