RJM GTR Intake Lower Manifold...oh yes!

bullitt5897 · 05-05-2016, 10:42 AM

Those intakes are nice but even at myrtle pricing I couldn't justify spending that kind of money on an upper intake plenum... The all carbon ones is only $5-6k though lol and judging by the end tanks I would not expect massive gains... More of an eye candy piece.

The AMS is insanely efficient and makes way more power than my Greddy intake manifold but even then I couldn't justify the thousands of extra dollars.

Alpha makes parts for people who can easily throw around hundreds of thousands of dollars, 10K for their consumer base is like 500 for us. They just set the price by what people are willing to pay.

They feel if you can afford a GT-R and have money to mod it. Why not charge those prices.

Bullitt any word when you're going to get some numbers up. Bobby just posted the conversion on a 08 350z oem upper and lower it made 401 on 5psi, with the conversion it made 430 and picked up 40 ftlbs/trq. Im just curious to see how your set up will respond

bullitt5897 · 05-10-2016, 09:12 PM

We will be on the dyno this week.

bullitt5897 · 05-11-2016, 11:30 AM

AS elmo eluded to earlier. There are some preliminary numbers from a stock block 350z HR. This is a stock block with over 80k miles on it and over 40k of those being boosted and beat on. Needless to say the motor isnt the freshest in the bunch and there is room for more potential.

They started with And ended with @ 5 psi:

400rwhp and 326ft/lbs @ 5psi of boost

Then after the install with the same dyno and same tuner were able to crank out

430rwhp and 341ft/lbs @ 5psi of boost

Analyzing the graphs we can see that the intake manifold allowed for more aggressive tuning without compromising reliability. The highest gains we can see are a whopping 42whp and 48ft/lbs at 4600rpm! the numbers just didnt stop there. We can see that the intake made more power throughout the entire power band! With the peak power climbing an addition 30whp and 15ft/lbs at the top. Proving that this part does in fact make power and will also make power on any 370z with forced induction.

The intake also allowed them to run more boost safely within the tuners limits or 9psi pushing out the following numbers:

@ 9psi they were comfortably sitting at 523rwhp and 400ft/lbs.

This is further evidence that this is a mod that will help your gains no matter what the internet naysayers think, there was R&D done on this product and the numbers will speak for themselves.

Stay tuned for more updates from those of us waiting on dyno time.

LOL, Yeah I need some parts myself. With my luck I would get 2 more herniated disks in my neck from the guy behind me bulldozing to the front to get his prize. Well, I got a totaled car and 2 herniated disks for my birthday, why break the trend.
