01 — Who we are

Thirteen VQs
and counting.

Over the last decade we've owned and built 13 VQ-powered cars: max-effort naturally aspirated builds, drift cars and clean OEM+ street cars.

About six years ago, deep into one of those NA builds, we went looking for a ported VQ35DE plenum and found that almost nobody offered one. So we taught ourselves to port them. Since then we've spent six years reading, testing and refining, drawing on the work of Motordyne and Z1, to build the best ported plenum we can for the DE.

Friends with HR and VHR cars asked us to do theirs next. Then people we'd never met started asking. Today we've ported hundreds of VQ plenums, and it still gets us every time we spot one out in the wild on a car whose owner has no idea we're the ones who made it.

Smooth
02 Smooth Casting marks removed so air flows with less turbulence.
Paint

Prove
04 Prove Dyno-tested and driven hard on our own car.
