Anyone also notice the darker colored main caps? Are those forged aluminum, forged steel, or cast iron like the 2JZ?

I would think 09/10 GTR owners might have an idea by now.The thing to note is nobody knows the long-term wear characteristics of the plasma bore. If they are as a strong and wear-resistant as OEM's make them out to be, they will likely last longer than most, if not all, high-mileage supras.
Main caps would likely be the same material as the block.Anyone also notice the darker colored main caps? Are those forged aluminum, forged steel, or cast iron like the 2JZ?
Chances of them making 1000hp with the factory intercooler are slim to none. The question becomes is what are they going to come up with? A front mount? A V-mount maybe?I don't understand how you can go to 1000HP without changing the Intercooler.
Who said the car would make 1000hp with the stock intercooler???I don't understand how you can go to 1000HP without changing the Intercooler.
That very well might be the case. I know they usually are, but for example when you upgrade main caps, they usually are not the same material (Titan mains, etc...). I ask because the color of the main caps in the video are different than the inside of the block’s material...they are darker looking material. If the car had higher mileage I would assume used oil residue, but this motor has under 2k miles.Main caps would likely be the same material as the block.
Okay so how are you going to change that intercooler? Because that does not look cheap nor easy. I mean when I dropped a grand for my intercooler and piping I thought that was a lot. This is going to be like 3-4 grand.Who said the car would make 1000hp with the stock intercooler???
The S55 has several aftermarket intercooler available, most notably is VSRF being only $549 and no extra piping needed. 3 grand on that platform gets you a full billet unitOkay so how are you going to change that intercooler?

Not to sound sarcastic, but....is this a real question?Okay so how are you going to change that intercooler? Because that does not look cheap nor easy. I mean when I dropped a grand for my intercooler and piping I thought that was a lot. This is going to be like 3-4 grand.
I would agree, but I have yet to see many R35's with more than 70-100k miles.I would think 09/10 GTR owners might have an idea by now.
Right on brother! The big "what if" now is @ 1000hp for how long? Good stuff coming for sure.This news was made for PerformanceSound lol
