Hi Charles,

I don't come on this site much, so I've missed this thread. But I think I'll be here much more often now, as my350z.com does not much going on anymore.

Top Notch Work as Always!

Thanks Tim! Good to see you around! Sometime next year we will probably make a production version of the DE center coolant return so that people can use these manifolds on a DE :)

Now I can think about nothing else but these manifolds, your currently available products and whatever parts yet to be revealed. Great job on these manifolds!:tiphat:

We are dealing with a change of location and big influx of recent orders but I am hoping to make some exciting posts this month. We have new fuel system items and complete fuel system kit updates coming. Once we are settled in the new shop we will once again be accepting customer build projects here in Chicagoland. :happydance:

There are 2 we are negotiating and the winner will be decided over the next few days it looks like. One of them is on the east side of Geneva, and the other is on the northwest corner of St Charles. We have city approval for both spots and all that's left to sort out is the deal.

Any news on this?

Nothing worth sharing yet. We have the first set that was posted all done. But now my Z is at a specialty fab shop we will be working with to bring these to market.

He is working on reconstructing the driver side manifold to work without having to drastically modify the driver side engine mount. Once he gets that wrapped up we hope to post the final pricing and details. It got set on the back-burner again here for a long time but I just recently towed it over to his shop so he can finish it up. Hoping to see this come to light this season!

Hey CJ! (This is Sammy, I emailed about the fuel upgrades earlier in the week)

Just curious if you're able to reupload the pictures in the OP. All but one is broken for me.

Thanks!

I will update the thread soon! There is action going on right now, and i might have some significant updates on this project soon.

Good, I'm intending to be a VQ35HR tester :)

Good to hear! I'm going FI soon, probably in the late fall. I'd rather piece my own system together this time around and I'm not totally sure I wanna fab up my own manifolds.

you definitely do not. If you choose to, make sure you do the drivers side first. If you start with the passenger side, how easy it is might deceive you. The drivers side is a total ***** for tubular style.

We are trying differences sizes and compressor covers right now seeing what will fit. Its unreal how large of a turbo we can fit on the passenger side with space to go, compared to the driver side. Its made me consider making a big single kit with a passenger side turbo and then a crossover tube from the driver side.

Hey Charles, i was on the website earlier shopping around and noticed that these manifolds haven't been added yet. Any reason? and will they be added?

From when this thread was originally posted, they were never quite made available. The driver side turbo location just wasn't going to cut it for a product to ship due to how much the motor mount needed modification.

So I slept on it for a while since I was very busy and moved the shop etc.

Last week a new driver side manifold design was finished, and we now have GTX3582Rs fitting both sides without any motor mount modification! This week I will be cutting some more manifold flanges and we are going to begin building more.
