Well headers one and two are done being designed. The next step is for Drew to print them in our 3D printer. What is a 3D printer you ask? Well it pretty much does exactly what is sounds like. This machine we have will now take our CAD design and print a plastic composite sample.

With this sample we will now be able to test fit it on the car. If the sample fits like we think it will then its off to get quick casted. Quick casting is a VERY expensive process but it gives us a hard piece to not only install but test. This will be the set of headers that get installed on chucks car. If they fit and work well we will being with production casting

here is a sample of some previous 3D printed parts :

Subaru Intake manifolds plenums







EVO F1-I Intake manifold

Here we fiberglass wrapped the 3D print for an on car test:



Internal shots




And the final product

Here we have the final designs as they sit before going to our 3D printing machine:

Just as promised Drew finished up the plastic 3D prints of the new GT-R headers. Here they are installed on the car. The next step will involve installing the motor into the car along with our support brackets and custom manifold heat shields to check final fitment. If all works out then its time to cast!

Starting to get pretty exciting!

Welcome AMS, some very nice builds you guys have done. The CAD drawings are really cool to see too. Thanks!

have seen a lot of turbo kits in my day but I think this one is officially the coolest kit ever! These heat shields look like something out of Transformers or TRON!

Below are some more updated pictures of the turbo kit with the prototype heat shields. The production shields will not have rivets and will be welded up. This is just a sample.
Also notice the very strong but OEM like integrated turbo support bracket.

Keep in mind the turbo is just a mock up turbo so you will not see any wheels in it

I love this kit!

While we wait for casting we are finalizing all the bits and hardware needed for the kit including intercooler piping, Intake piping and downpipes. Here are some more updates as we further develop the kit on Tim's GT-R.





















Once we get the cast samples is we will be within weeks of getting the kit up and active on Tim's GT-R while Chucks waits on his built engine, roll cage and other supporting mods needed to send his car into the stratosphere

Its time to remove the roof skin on chucks car to prepare for cage work and our new Carbon kevlar roof.

As you can see the stock GT-R roof bracing is VERY well done:

Well chuck the Dash is now out and its time for some serious Chassis work! 8 Second cage here we come:








IN case anyone was wondering what GT-R interior looked like OUT of the car

We got some pics of the chassis work. please excuse the quality as we had to use a cheapo digital this time around.











Once we get the car finalized we will add in the removable parachute mount.
