Nice one Geoff!

Looks a bit like my JUN ditto, just a little bit smaller.

At what horsepower level is it necessary to upgrade to the Full-Race intake manifold? Will a GT37R out flow the stock, but ported intake manifold?

P.S. In your location you list Wall, NJ. I'm originally from Monmouth County and get back there often. What is your deal in the area?
thanks alot it really means a lot to hear stuff like this from other enthusiasts. We work tirelessly, to design/fabricate parts that not only are functional but are also "art" (industrial style for sure)

I grew up in Wall, NJ, went to school there and then hung out at englishtown everyday i was allowed to haha. i still go back there quite a lot and do work for customers when im in town, but 90% of what i do is at our mfg facility in Phoenix.

The larger size turbos tend to benefit more from aftermarket intake manifolds than setups with smaller turbos. We have a customer in Dubai who tested this manifold with a GT35R setup and realized a 67whp increase against the stock intake manifold. I expect that gain to grow even more for a larger compressor

Hey Jeff, I'll give you a small turbo test soon once I get the rest of the details sorted out and when I do the intall and tuning I'll get all the info for you. I'm still trying to make the arrangements for next week when I go racing on fast machinery... I'll take pictures of the monitor just in case! You still have me cell#?

This manifold uses a Sheet metal plenum with 6061-T6 billet aluminum runners and head flange

the runners are removable, and are sealed with viton o-rings at each mounting surface

the machining is all done by hypertuner in australia. thanks!

i am sure you did some sort of research when making such an item, how do you compare yours to the others out in the market?

0.083

ive seen a lot of manifolds and many look to be of a good design. There are some with runners and plenums that seem to be on the smallish side, but all in all, there are some good designs on the market for sure

i think the good points of this design are: adequate plenum volume, tapered runners, ease of installation, it includes an IAC flange, so it can be used on a daily driver, extremely high quality manufacturing, and it uses the best throttle body and fuel rail I have ever seen/used.

the only downside i see is the necessary charge pipe modification

So with the entire kit installed is there enough space to mount a direct port nitros fogger system on the intake runners i.e. space between the fuel rail and the surge tank - a fogger on each runner?
