I think everyone ows Bullitt a rep point after the final build media! Pioneers for sure and much props to both parties involved! Can't to see more!

I'm curious to see how the adapter for the intake manifold will work because it appears the VR38 intake runners end up in the reverse location of the VQ37 lower manifold. Turning the VR38 around might line it up, but then it'll look funky with an engine cover in place.

Are you guys using thermal gaskets?

Nice

My god, enough with the

already.
No one owes him anything, he WANTS to share and its free advertisement for GTM. "Final build media"...you mean pictures when its done? "Pioneers"... give me a break.

And that's not to take away from what should be an awesome build and the fact that we are all eager to see the results.

RCZ chill out man. JB rep is appreciated but not asked for. As for the pioneers statement I would agree with JB on this one. Nobody has ever installed a stroked 4.5l VHR before! No body has ever taken a VHR to 1000whp and beyond. No one has ever installed a GTR intake manifold on a 3.7 VHR either. I think that qualifies for pioneering technology for the 370z and VQ37 platform! I want to share this with you guys so that you can take as much pride into our 370z brand as I do. Let's let the whole world know that we mean business and that the 370z is the best platform to work with and that with this platform anything is possible! Nothing is unattainable if we put our minds together and work together as a community!

Enjoy all the updates as we post them and fasten your seatbelts for one hell of a ride!

If a 1000hp 370 does not deserve a rep point what does.
Eidited to respect the forum.

JB-370z · 06-20-2010, 04:46 PM

RCZ: So I understand to you they are not pioneers and thats fine.
To me they are.
With the first twin turbo kit for the 370 in usa. The first company to offer both supercharger and twin turbo kits and now the first 1000hp 370z. If that is not being a pioneer I dont know what is. If it were not for companies like GTM and AAM, people that want to forced induction would be forced to only drive around stillen supercharged cars. The guy that always seems to have a problem with GTM just happens to own everything that stillen makes for the 370. Now that you are stealing the spot light from GTM once again maybe we can get back on topic.

Edited for the respect of the forum.

Guys, guys. I'll settle this, just give me the rep points.

Back on topic, nice to hear a partnership with Zele, should look sick. Any plans for full cage or some other fabrication to strengthen the car to handle 1000hp?

I am working a cage plan so that is still in the works. Also, the Zele Partnership is not final. If it does go through expect to see alot of my car
