i'll also point out to try and find out what's MISSING in the picture - that's the biggest clue.

Got your car running right yet?

This is exactly the reason no one drives my car but me.

So are you planning to expose the secret like the other punks on the forum? Yeah, we are brothers but I own the car. The old timing case stuff was from a car with a bad motor so that might have been the problem. We managed to pick up a fully fuctional motor for $50 from my friend who did a DEK swap.

It sounded like the timing was off hardcore. What exactly was wrong with the bad motor? I'm asking in case I ever get a blown vq30. Good luck with the car, man.

Other then the fact that the cheap piece of sheet cover is missing..............
Which i already junked...
What is done inside the manifold to increase its performance? Obviously SR20DEN doesnt have the ability to extrude hone the manifold unless he has one stupid good dremel tool..........
And thanks for all the flaming

Whats missing I see the shield off, now SR20DEN is saying the stuff was on there.......
265 WHP is a very impressive number!! Obviously I dont have the skill yet to dissasemble and reassemble a VQ35 motor but thats why I came here to get help from the people I know that have those skills.

The answer's in your car, not on the forums.

$300 is a ripoff. I never charged anyone more than $200 for the work I did. And no you guys can't make SSIMs. You still don't know 100% what I did or not. Therfore you'll be making your own thing.

Did you put an official SSIM stamp on it?

Honestly guys this hoopla over the SSIM is getting old. We all know he's not going to divulge what the SSIM is exactly, and I can understand that people would not understand why or may think it's unfair.
But from talking to him I believe he has some legitimate reasons for it, even if they are not apparent to all, or to those who do not know the history of the situation.
Besides, there is something to be said for pulling apart things yourself and figuring out how they work and how to make them better. You don't have to be an engineer or mechanic. Just spend an afternoon and take it step by step and pull the stock manifold off and look at it. If you have taken the time to look inside a FWD VQ35 manifold and think about how the air is flowing through there at high rpm and how you could modify it to get more air in, decrease restrictions/obstacles, and increase flow, then you will be most of the way there to having a manifold that is just as good as the SSIM. And you can call it your own name and sell it if you want, whatever.
Just my humble $0.02...

seems to be half and half. throwing money is nice when you have it, but paying 200 or 300 for something that supposedly (judging by those pictures and what i think goes with what is missing) is very easy to do yourself. could even be free, dont have my car right now so i cant look.
