Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is not tooooo late, is it? They're trying it on a VQ35HR too, expect some good news soon! Well, it might be bad news for the wedding though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it might be bad news for the wedding though! If you don't have the carbon inserts, is there just a hole in the ?metal? (the above just says "dump the plastic" so I'm assuming SS?), or are there plain inserts that you could paint/wrap/hydro-dip? Stop thinking about it Haydn...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 If carbon fiber inserts are not purchased, there will be a very shallow indent on each side of the manifold where the inserts are made to be placed. I suppose you can powder coat/paint/dip and color match the indented areas when opting out of the carbon fiber option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V1H Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) René, yours is already on the list, I knew you're going to need one I suppose you want the carbon trims with it, right? Thanks Adrian but i pass on that option. Carbon trim is not needed for me I shall spend that money on other go-fast-bits. E.g., I still want KW V3 coilovers and Umbrella VRH Cup kit.

Kev T Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 That's not engineering it is a piece of art ! I will be interested in seeing the performance gains figures tho'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Out of curiosity, what sort of money would the GTR manifold cost? I believe it's been made to fit the VQ37? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Out of curiosity, what sort of money would the GTR manifold cost? I believe it's been made to fit the VQ37? Just over £3k, there's no part ready at the moment, many been working on it, including us, we have the adaptor designed and 3D tested, but not sure we will go ahead further than a prototype model.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 2 on order for: 1. V1H - René 2. baakseeda - Paul Slight delay @ AAM, should be ready for early May, see below: Good morning Adrian, We are getting close to receiving our very first production units for performance testing! The manufacturer had requested some small adjustments for the mold, in order to make the casting process more efficient. We made some minor tweaks and they are currently hard at work creating manifolds. Although we were hoping to complete all testing in early March, the manufacturer required some additional time to implement the mold revisions and ensure top-notch quality. We still aim to have our first finalized manifolds and begin testing by the end of this month, so that we may place a full batch into production shortly after. Anyone else wants to take the advantage of the discounted price, please PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Any news on a these working on a 350Z? Not yet, expecting the 370z final version to arrive to AAM in the next 1-2 weeks, they've done a lot of revisions on the first version. Once that's out the way, they'll look into the VQ35HR version as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Some pics below sent from AAM with the progress on these manifolds. Should arrive at AAM 1-2 weeks, then dyno testing and shipping to UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
