*** TORQEN *** TORQEN partnerships with AAM to develop RHD version TwinTurbo kit

[Dynamic Turtle]

As with all these threads I still don't "get" forced induction (particularly in terms of the huge cost and effort involved), when you could buy an R33/34/35 instead. Maybe it's just me...

[Adrian@TORQEN]

I thought AAM had already tried to modify and provided their first attempt based on random guesswork without actually seeing a RHD... although I could be completely wrong on that front.

 

Nope, the kits are provided standard LHD, have a look at these photos taken at SEMA 2015:

 

 

 

 

 

 

As expected, it's not easy and takes a lot of time to develop the right setup for the RHD cars, we're working on it with AAM production managers, engineers and marketing guys, rest assured

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Will be epic once fitted though what sort of power are you aiming for on the stock block ?

 

Close to 500bhp on the standard block, but pretty sure by the time we're done, he'd want to forge his engine

For a quality well looked after r35 your talking 40 grand

And a r33 and even r34 isn't saying much to a blown 370z at the same sort of cost

So I'd say it comes down to what you want

Wow, what the heck are those stunning blue Intake manifolds on the SEMA pictures, Adrian?

Is this available? Is it beneficial for a boosted stock-block?

[Adrian@TORQEN]

:lol:

 

I knew you were going to ask me! Planning to forge your engine already?

[HaydnH]

Planning to forge your engine already?

 

Not me... I appear to have made the mistake of proposing over Christmas, so with the cost of an engagement ring and a wedding in July I get the feeling I'm going to be pretty broke for a while!

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Congrats, awesome news!

[HaydnH]

Congrats, awesome news!

 

Thanks! By the way... is my car going to be ready for the wedding?

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Now, now!

 

Hopefully YES! July 2017 right?

[nissanman312]

Now, now!

 

Hopefully YES! July 2017 right?

 

Draging your heals on that aren't you

[V1H]

Congratz HaydnH and all the best for you and your beloved

[HaydnH]

Now, now!

 

Hopefully YES! July 2017 right?

 

In 6 days you'll have had the car 3 months already... it better not be 2017! :scare:

[Drayvn]

Any news?

[Adrian@TORQEN]

Hi Drayvn,

 

We're still working on it with AAM, they're developing the RHD manifold to accommodate both 350z HR and 370z to make the project less costly / cost effective. So virtually, as soon as the manifold is ready and test fitted, it will work for both 350z HR and 370z.

 

We're shipping more parts to AAM today so they can have a full working RHD setup in house, things like front frame, steering rack etc.

 

Hopefully not very long now, as there is a huge interest in the kit, having so many PMs, emails and texts about it

She won't let me choose anything serious... I get a few of the boring tasks though.

So difficult!

Not a chance! I'd probably have some Torqen ones though if he TT'd my car for free.

[Drayvn]

So.... any more news?

[HaydnH]

So.... any more news?

 

A steering rack for a 350Z HR and 370Z has been received by AAM, they're using those to redesign the manifold now... no idea when that will get back to the UK though.

You could save for a r35 in this time lol
