Wow, this thread is still active! Looking good, Chris!

this is the final prototype GTR Plenum Adapter with mounted stock fuel rails and injectors !

today we made great progress - the lower manifold is installed, fuel system is back in place and plugged in and all necessary pipes/hoses found a port to connect except the intake pipes which I need to modify and install tomorrow.

If nothing goes totally wrong I should be able to start the engine tomorrow for the first time.

Chris

PS: as you can see there is no clearance issue with the oil filler cap :tiphat:

*silly question time*

I'm sure I've read the answer some where, but lazy...would this fit a HR?

Awesome seeing you see this through...

IIRC, technically it should if the mounting points for the lower manifold are the same for HR/VHR. Plus, HR owners have better clearance without the VVEL stuff in the way.

Just waiting for dynos. :)

:iagree:I've ben holding off on an ART install due to this.

thanks...I think my wallet just crawled up my ***

same here...

I confirm that the lower intake manifold to the head has the same bolt battern.

I even took the VVEL lower intake manifold on my HR head because it was less dirty than my HR ones.. hehe
the VVEL lower intake manifold has the number 37 casted into them
I applyed black marker to the number on my picture

even though i may not buy this no time soon it's exciting to see it!

Finally... A metal intake manifold. Just waiting to see dyno results.

Chris, looking forward. Once everything works and say there were gains made. How soon would we see the prototype lower go into production & be available for sale? Who would be selling them?

Thanks for innovating and I appreciate you sharing this with the community.

Amazing Buddy....Just Amazing......

Not to pee in the punch, but was there a baseline dyno for this car so we know where we started?

Looking forward to seeing how this all turns out...

Looks awesome!

He has one I believe.

Or at the very least, has access to a dyno.

Yes I made several dyno runs before and have a dyno next to my garage so that will be no issue !
