Sorry, Scott. I don't know of any such beast. I don't know how much power
you're planning on making, but Nissan's upper and lower intake is pretty
good. I know it can handle 300hp+ on a turbo engine. Best thing to do is
use a throttle body from an S13 240sx DOHC engine, Extrude Hone the upper,
and port match and polish the lower. On my VG30ET, the stock fuel system
and turbo are holding me back from safely making any more power, and from
what I've seen on the net, the stock intake isn't a restriction until the
450-500 flywheel hp level. This is just above the 400 flywheel hp limit of
the stock rods.
If that won't take care of it, you could always weld up a custom intake
setup. I don't know if I would waste the time trying to find the right
combo though, since it is a good design. Maybe a sheetmetal box upper (like
the turbo 5.0 Mustang drag racers), mated to a polished stock lower intake.
Wish I could have been of more help!
