GTM Performance Engineering VQ45VHR-Our Journey to The 1000 HP and Beyond

flow isn't going to be the biggest advantage with the vr plenum from what i see, they both flow sufficiently for the motor but the vr manifold has nice tapered runners and plenum shape to distribute air better it may also have harmonic gains over the hr and vhr plenums that won't show up in the flow test but could have a significant effect on torque and horsepower. best of all the new manifold set will be all aluminum for increased manifold durability under boost.

I would love to be able to get the VR38 Plenum installed along with the stage 2 this month, but it looks like I may end up playing it safe and just have Baker install the kit.

Nice, almost 100 pages of posts.

B.A.Q · 06-21-2011, 05:08 AM

Apparently someone has selective reading... I have said time and time again that we will post all the data when we are finished and I mean completely finished...

No, not at all.
-Just noting an observation in response to the two who posted above me..

1. almost at 100 pages
2. build is officially a year
3. no dyno charts have been released, to-date

Question,
what is the difference between "finished" & "Completely Finished"?

1. Yes the build is 1 yr old.
2. The reason for the long build time (not an excuse) is the fact that we have been using my build to make these mods reproducible and not a "one off" build...
3. No dynos have been released as we have been constantly making changes... imagine the confusion if one part enables the car to make soo much power then we add a component and the numbers are not as high then we go back make revisions to that component to make sure everything works together and make even more power.... It can get real confusing...
4. Completely finished means when the reproducible part designs and the car running those parts makes the stated numbers.

Please be patient we are literally days away from being finished...

What? You mean GTM doesn't rush products to the market without fully R&D'ing them?! Seriously.

I want products meow! I don't care if they work or not!

Who does that?!

b1adesofcha0s · 06-21-2011, 05:06 PM

Putting my TT kit on one turbo at a time

You can run a single turbo setup while you're waiting for the R&D for the second turbo to be finished
