SouthSide Performance Launch SSP 820RS GT-R Intake Manifold
South Side Performance are not resting on the GT-R parts development just yet. After recently completing their SSP GTR820RR turbocharger upgrades for the Nissan GT-R they’ve now released this SSP 820RS intake manifold upgrade to suit.
After trying a few variations on the upgraded manifold theme, this shape was found to offer a consistent and linear increase in airflow and hence horsepower. All else being equal it was good for 15hp and 28ft/lbs of torque increase on the demo GT-R. Check the dyno chart below.
The SSP 820RS intake manifold is designed to bolt onto your stock fittings and throttle body. The beauty is that it’s also got some room to grow on that side of things if you choose to opt for a larger diameter throttle body at a later date. Something tells me something might be coming out soon in that department…
Total volume in the manifold is increased more than 100% over the standard item while the weight is actually decreased. Your standard engine cover will no longer fit on but your choice of aluminium or gloss black finishes are available.
Price is $2,699 and limited stock is available right now. Once the limited stock is sold units are built to order within about a week.
The video you see below is of the SSP/ZCarGarage demo car fitted with the manifold upgrade, among other things. Check the whole press release and some more photos after the jump…
Thanks to Forbes from ZCarGarage.com for pointing me in the right direction for the video.
