In the spirit of the new All Motor forum, is there anything new to be heard about this? Don't mean to hassle, just want to know if I should start looking for a IM to send you in the near future.

Hm, the ports on the DE-K are smaller? The DE TB can be bolted up with an adapter plate and some fabbing. Since it provides better gains than a MEVI stock a modified version will be most useful. A modified DE IM would be nice too

The VQ35 IM will not bolt upto the VQ30 heads. The ports are different between the two.

The VI from the 2000-2001 VQ30 can be used on the 95-99 VQ with a bit of work. It uses a dual runner design and eliminates the low end loss associated with a MEVI. There was a thread a few months back about putting the 00-01 (-K) intake manifold onto the 95-99 VQ, so it has been done.
I was just thinking to myself a bored out or modified 5thgen intake would provide awesome gains compared to a MEVI. Also it would allow it to fit better with the 95-99 heads since the ports on the 00-01 VI are smaller (thanks tilley).

Im not sure exactly what you mean by that but the lower intake manifold by the heads is bigger than the 95-99 and polished prob to make up for the butterflys there.
I removed mine so i get the benifits .

Im convinced that i gained prob 15 fwhp peak from the 00 vi . And more from other spots in the power band.

It looks like a digital clock reset. It has H if you turn it ccw and M if you turn it cw.

I am in VA, and I am interested in a modded IM for a fourth gen (DE-K or something else), I just dont want a MEVI. I am boosted too if you have any desire to test one on a boosted fourth gen.

who knows. I am getting kinf of impatient of VQ35 products. I will sell my car before I get to seriously mod it. I guarantee sr20s IM will be well worth the wait but I am thinking of getting one myself and starting to play. There is enough information online for a DIYer to mod an IM.

Good thing for the faint of heart is he is doing all the work. Haven't seen an update in a while or a projected release date so I am kind of beginning to think the project wont be finished.
No offense SR20

You people keep stirring this thread up. I said I would give updates when updates were availiable to be given. So now I am going to just have this thread locked for now.
