GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR

DIGItonium · 07-27-2012, 09:43 AM

Chris, someone posted a whitepaper about the balancer tube connecting both chambers of the plenum. Varying the diameter has an effect on the midrange torque. I'm sure messing with this tube is going to take quite a bit of work.

BTW, I have the engine cover and plenum (with balancer tube, which is sold separately) looking for a new home. If I don't sell it, I'm going to put it on my car

I know, I'm just messing with the guy. He won't give us a product until he's made 100% sure it's the best increase possble and safely. I'm all for it.

I say stop trying to sell it and just put it on! Having been TT we'll see first hand on his car the NA aspects and in your car the TT aspects.

before and after dyno numbers for both would tell us everything.

True true, looking forward to them.

I would love to get my hands on one, but I currently don't have the resources to test the product first hand since this is my daily driver.

I'd like to get the GTM 3" down pipes and F.I. turbo exhaust (already have the external wastegates), and then figure out from there. Not there yet... house and yard work is priority.

You could send your car to me for testing...

Just sayin...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Especially if Digi wouldn't mind doing an LED swap...

I know how much he loves doing them.

Don't forget, we'll need a new oil cap. The new TB location will interfere with the cap. Also, some Dremel work might be needed to clear the oil cap as well.

KaienZ34 · 07-31-2012, 06:15 PM

Done.....
