He also said that his cost would include Everything you'd need to do it, including (if possible) his strut bar.


At GTM, just buying the manifold alone sets you back $2k. And they haven't even produced a strut bar mock up yet... :ugh2:





Not to mention, it was just for the lulz... :rolleyes:

as I have already installed the STILLEN intake piping which is slightly larger than stock there should be enough air flow.

for the strut bar this is one of the next things on the todo list 2gether with getting the car tuned via OSIRIS.

as for pricing I have not yet calculated anything. The only thing I can tell currently is that I have paid well over US$6000 (not taking my time into account) in total to make this conversion happen so I fear it will not go for 200 bucks but is well in the 4digit area.

To be honest this mod is from my opinion for people who have done every possible mod you can do to an NA car or even super/turbocharged it and just want this icing on the cake to make it perfect.

Just to give you an idea only the welding took about 2 hours plus about 3 hours of hand-polish/grind the runners for perfect flow. This part even though it is "only" an adapter to make a plenum from another car fit is very complex (5 axis CNC for radius conversion) and not just a cheap "3 flange plates plus 6 pipes".

Please bear with me with the pricing as my current goal is to make the tune perfect and proof what gain can actually be achieved - after everything is 100% finished, tested and discussed I will offer you a group buy no question.

Thank you !

Chris
Post #368 to my response of selling the plate for $200 (I was jk of course) But his response was towards the price of just the plate. Not everything else included.

I already spoke to one shop near me to modify the GTR manifold I currently have to fit and they are asking 1250. That is not including the strut bar or enabling this manifold for direct injection. I was hoping to get a pm back from the OP materials and measurements but it's been a few weeks now and no answer.

For meth/nitrous, or are you talking about fuel?

sstroudwku 08-08-2013 05:53 PM
I messaged OP as well looking for info on this. My dad is a machinist here in the states and sells CNC, Vertical/Horizontal Lathes, and Drill and tap machines. I showed him the images and he said it wouldn't cost much in materials to have these made up. Would gladly help get this project going. There are several machine shops that owe him favors.

Kingbaby 08-08-2013 07:24 PM
Ask dad rough dimension of 17" lenght by 5" width and 5" depth box is the rough size of the adpater.

How much would it be to has out #20?

That would be great man sounds like a good deal. Problem is OP is not coming on the forum, I hope it's just he doesn't have time not something bad has happened.

I wouldn't lose faith just yet. We know he gets busy and will go long stints without an appearance only to show up and make us all have to clean off our keyboards and screens.

it's not the material that is expensive it's the time. When dealing in aluminum we drill, cut, machine with carbide only. If I could get dimensions I could possible get a half dozen or so done for free as part of a sales demonstration to his clients.

I just kicked my wife

Op where the hell are you? Cut vacation short!

V8Killer 08-21-2013 04:12 AM

I think Chris is enjoying his new found NA power in Europe and forgot about us. LOL

V8Killer 09-03-2013 12:27 PM
Coming up on 2 months since last post......

V8Killer 09-30-2013 12:33 PM
Ya but they aren't close yet to it being released.

Chris where are you? Price of the spacer please.....

JC671 02-15-2014 10:44 AM
Bump....


Chris... Any updates bro?

SgtGoldy 02-15-2014 10:59 AM
Holy crap I forgot all about this. Maybe the plenum made his car blow up and hes too sad to post in this thread anymore.

His last post was on: 07-09-2013

Your mean bro lol......:icon18:

I'm sure life took over with more important things. I was inactive on the forum for over a year myself just because of more important things took place.

Really interested in seeing what a tune did with this being that he is N/A. The torque curve was promising with no tune.

Manifold plus lower plenum = a lot of dollars but if this gives significant gains across the band it would be worth it.

Kingbaby 02-16-2014 02:04 AM
never left or the other thread!

I just returned to the states from Germany 3 weeks ago. I saw Chris running his car at Reisbrennen July 2013. Car ran laps after laps at the track without issues. I spoke to him but said that it was going to take some time to get it perfect but who knows when that would be.

What was your impression of his car? Sound? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Kingbaby 02-20-2014 01:20 PM
Glad to hear he's using it!

chrisbeltre 02-22-2014 03:16 PM
I have to check my camera, I know I took a video of it. I know for fact the car looked fast coming out of the turns and in the straights.

Any info as to why he wont update here??

chrisbeltre 02-23-2014 03:33 PM
We talked about the cost, every penny on this R&Dcame out of his pocket and we are talking euros not dollars. Maybe he doesn't know how to market the damn thing over here in the states from Germany.

370Z JT 02-23-2014 03:38 PM
Maybe he's doing real world testing in his car first.

octet 02-23-2014 03:41 PM
Anyone has his direct contact details, I'm in Europe, perhaps is easier to talk to him from here? :)

lol this guy is gonna track him down and start interrogating him.

chrisbeltre 02-24-2014 04:33 PM
I know he is in the Lipzig area, is not much but is a start.

SgtGoldy 02-24-2014 04:36 PM
Jesus Christ are we doing this again? Are we hunting down members again?

(context: We hunted down a member selling/buying items in the classified section then never giving the money or the product)

I really, really want the adaptor to GTR intake, LOL

Kingbaby 05-30-2014 09:30 PM
My spider sense were tingling....

Seems the OP logged in 4 days ago...

I'm deploying for 8 months to this AOR and this is the first thing that came to my mind

Lmao

octet 06-05-2014 03:13 AM
