I asked this question before and the answer is in first post :tiphat:

Chris, absolutely loving the progress being made and assuming I don't have to kill too many babies to afford this, I will be taking one myself.

I do have a big question though.

Have you looked into ways to get the strut bar back? I know the factory one will no longer work with this setup and will require modification at the very least, but just wondering if you had given that any thought.

Thanks, keep up the great work!!!! :happydance:

I wonder if the dip around 5300 rpms is related to a resonance at that rpm. I think seeing whether it is persistent after a tune will give a good indication.

there might be little bit more gains with slightly bigger intake plumbing.

But, hats off to OP for taking the time to do this.

Looks like I might be keeping my GTR intake collector since no one want it. ;-)

Put it on. Tune it. Show us what it will do with boost. I'd imagine it would really shine. I want this, but I'm not going to be the guinea pig.

:iagree:

thank you all for the good feedback !

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

No Sir, thank you!

It is icing on the top. I've shared this with my club and a couple other Nissan sites. Interest is there especially since it's not "just pipes" and damn near OEM! I can say about 10-15people I know would go in on something like this if it's not too much from my suggested number aka groupbuy scenario! That's just 07/08 folks!

Nice!

I think depending on price, on the amount of spare GTR manifolds laying around, and the amount of Z's with boost in their future, this has a lot of potential to sell well if you beat competition to market.

Will wait to see if there is a group buy pricing. 4 digits, I just don't think I can swallow that lol.

Group buy!?!? God damnit... There's goes the last of my fun money for the year...

If you can managed to maintain the 20-30ft-lb at 5 to 6K RPM after the tune I'm in!
