Guy's.....just a heads up for those that wanted a Phenolic runner spacer for the M35.

I have made up enough runners for 9 kits.

Kit includes:

* Phenolic runner spacer

* Mounting bracket for the fuel rail and gearbox dipstick

* All extended plenum bolts and nut

*****you will need to order a runner gasket....I can arrange this as well at your cost*****

PM me for further details.

P.S. I can do the install if wanted in NSW or organise in VIC....again PM me for details.

Can u run the standard engine cover still?

Yes - but it is tight and I believe you will have to extend the studs that hold it on at the front of the engine if you want to screw it down (the rear supports screw in to the plenum, so no issue there.

The mate I quoted earlier has his engine cover on. He has an ARX, not that it should make a difference.

Picked up my spacer last night. Very neat bit of kit. Big thanks to Andy and Craig for organising it at such short notice. I really appreciate it guys.

Oh and Craig.... You could of let your missus go shopping mate! That phone call exchange between you and Andy had me in stitches!!!

Thanks again.

Andrew.

Does this kit can be fitted to the V35?

The kit we made is specific to the VQ25DET motor as the VQ35DE is slightly different.

Send IAMHE77 a PM as he was working on a phenolic spacer for the VQ35DE.

Cheers

Andy

arent the runners in the same spot for all VQ engines? its the plenum on top thats different i think

I know they are very similar but Cam tells me they are slightly different. :D

not so much that they are in a different spot, more that the inlet size is slightly different I think. (I think)

Does this kit can be fitted to the V35?

No. But I can do one that can. :)

We made up a kit for my mate's V35 (GT-8), but you won't be able to close the bonnet if you have a 5/8" plenum spacer. 5/16" you may get away with but I can't be 100% sure.

ahh right!

larger or smaller Cam? if they are larger, potential upgrade for VQ25DET owners?? :domokun:

VQ35de runner spacer is very different to the VQ25det.

Larger overall with significantly larger inlets.

VQ35de spacer is NOT an upgrade for VQ25det.

i meant the whole intake manifold/plenum. there is some volume there that might affect performance in a positive way.

i also might put my spacer on this weekend if i have a whole day

huh....a whole day! 2 hours tops :)

Let me know when you are going to do it and I can save you some time.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
