Anyone interested in a "Top Secret" style manifold?

I know Top Secret uses a VK45, but the VH seems the way to go as far as swaps and turbocharging go. We're currently fabricating a similar intake for our 1UZ:

Would anyone be interested in a similar manifold for their forced induction set-up?

What are the advantages from this type of manifold?

Shorter runners and greater plenum volume for better top end on a forced induction set-up. Each turbo (on twin turbo set-up) has its own throttle body....no need to run 2 intercooler pipes to one TB (keeps air speed up, less drop in psi) and of course the exclusivity of it.

The VH45DEtt in the Z guy... ?? WELCOME TO NICO!!!!!

Do you think we would see any benefits on a N/A car? This certainly could be a consideration for others that are attempting kickass swaps like this!

Stock manifold is tuned for OEM cam timings and BMEP. Changing without a decrease in performance would require a complementary change in cams, induction, pistons.

Top end is great, but few everyday drivers live there very much.

I'll agree with you there, for most driver this would not be a "practical" modification.

This is more for those who want to have something new and different, yet is still functional. Just trying to help out in the nissan/infiniti community with some custom parts otherwise not attainable.

I wonder if 450tt has seen these manifolds and what does he think about them.

That is one massive cross-bar...

What about custom headers? Just asking as allot of us wouldn't mind some increase in HP with some custom headers for the Q. Again, just asking.
