CJ Motorsports VHR Intake Manifold

Nismo350z#310 · 04-13-2015, 12:05 PM

I have been waiting for the manifold to drop as well before my retune, but the time is probably going to run out, as I have to get a tune before I can even drive it and been waiting quite some time for this now.

Do we have a new timeline for completion on this?

Charles, what will be needed for this manifold to fit the HR?

Later today I am starting the first batch of HR rails... just working on switching the CNC coolant (huge hassle).

I need them finished in their confirmed and final shape so I can make sure the intake manifold clears them as well.

Do not wait for this manifold to tune your car... Even when the posts start to get more exciting it could be a while before you have one in your hands... and even then it will not require substantial re-tuning, just some minor adjustments. These MAF based cars are able to detect higher airflow and dont lose their way too much when you increase it a little here or there. It will just be some tweaking required.

Wonder if a big group buy is in the near future.

I will gauge interest before production just to get an idea of how many to make. Otherwise nobody has to really worry about anything until its available and ready. Wont need any deposits or anything like that.

Sounds good my friend

Zero !

M370 actually made more everywhere ex top end where they made the same. I think I need a return for the Z1 but from a just swap and go Z1 lost.

Car was tuned with the M370.

Damn, least you made some power.

Anymore updates about the manifold?

This week I will be updating the CAD and sending off the file to the tooling shop for the final quote and ETA on the cast portion of the manifold. He says he is ready to start working on the project with me. Then I can get back with pictures and maybe some rough price estimates.

I somehow missed this, but just read it.

So looks like us HR guys will have a bolt-on part too!!! This excites me greatly!

Honest opinion do you think your manifold will produce decent gains for NA set up, More so than motor dyne and z1 modded manifold's?
