AKUMA Spec Rev 2 Intake Group Buy!!
 

After many hours of R & D Akuma Motorsports has finally produced an intake for your 370Z that beats all competitors pricing with stock reliability.

-12-14whp increase can be expected using just the intakes!

-More can be expected with proper cat back exhausts!

-20whp increase with an invidia catback and the AKUMA Rev 2 intakes!

-The first ten customers will get these for our introductory price sated below

-The Rev 2's are made from 6061 aluminum and include nomex couplers, K&N Oiled Filters and include all necessary hardware.
-They are made for ease of installation and removing with as little work as possible


They are rolling out at a very aggressive $479!

***These intakes require tuning but for anyone with an Accessport or an Up-Rev we can provide the proper info to make the changes yourself***

Here are some pics installed on Johns car:

I m also interested, but have some question about the tuning part. So basically you are providing a e-tune? I let you know what mods I have and you provide the file?

I'm interested too. If you DIY, can you take it to a tuner or do you need to flash a tune right after install?

From what I know about using Osiris, all that is being done is the modification of the MAF Table.
Since the AKUMA Stage II intakes use larger piping than the OEM, this slows that air across the MAF. So you have to account for this change by adjusting the MAF Table in Osiris.
Below is a sample of my OEM table in Hex Format. All you would have to do is Copy this data and Paste it in your MAF table (DON'T COPY THIS ONE, IT'S JUST A OEM) Save and flash your car.

Hope this helps you

I'm certainly buying these I just need to know how long this GB will be up for. I sorta just bought new headers and need time to save for these sweet intakes.

Same here just bought a front lip and a few little goodies if this is up for a while I'll get on it for sure

I can keep it up for a little longer

Hey Kevin do you have to get the tune done with you intake or will it run without it because I want to get my exhaust done before the tune. Thank you

Do I take it to mean that, when paired with the invidia cbe, the intakes produced an EXTRA 20hp in addition to the gains you got from the cbe? Or did you get 20hp from the intakes and cbe combined?

Also (and this is purely for educational reasons), these look very similar in design to the Stillen Gen3 intakes. What about your design makes your intakes better than the Stillens (other than the price of course)? I'm not trying to start a Stillen vs Akuma war, just trying to compare features. They look really nice :tup:

It will require a bit of adjusting to the maf learning table so if you have an accessport or an uprev we can give you the tables or if you would like to bring your car by we can upload them for you.

I apologize I realize that can be a little confusing. The comparison we have is Johns 370z with just the Invidia catback which was rated at 272whp and then We added our intakes to the mix and saw a 20whp increase to 292whp while also seeing 12ft lbs of torque increase as well. I hope that answers your question

As far as design goes they are similar in some aspects. Where we made a difference is, our MAF sensor placement is a little bit different as well as there are no reducers to increase turbulence. These intakes are also made so that they can be removed very quickly without removing the bumper or anything else thats time consuming, they can literally be in and out of the car in minutes which is very convenient.

G3-like plus easier to install/maintain. Sub'd.

Thanks for the interest guys. Let me clarify a few things. The group buy will be up for a while no worries. The Akuma Intake is a 2.75" 6061 Aluminum design. The initial install requires the bumper to be removed and the filters placed in the bumper area. Once it is installed, the body of the intake can be removed as one piece. The intakes have a symmetry by design, for performance and aesthetics. We are going with K/N filters at this time. If we can find a suitable replacement, I will entertain that option. The K/N filter media is very effective and the filters do not leave oil residue in the intake after 1000miles.

So why Akuma? The basic answer would be design(open radius bends, larger diameter piping, MAF placement), materials and customer service. We use USA made Aluminum and K/N filters. The engine bay couplers are Nomex, which is a better material than the silicone counterpart(higher heat tolerance, and a bit stiffer which aids in support). We will also offer a base calibration for Up Rev or Cobb(should there be any) users. Finally, we are easily accessible. If you have a question, you can speak with the designer or a technician that has helped on the design. So you know you will get any help you need.

The MAF is placed in the straightest section of airflow, therefore tunes very easily. The Z is nice in that you do not have to mod the MAF table, as I believe there should be 2 banks as the GTR has, but the tuning software provides for one table. However, this may be a function of the UpRev Tuning suite and be 100% correct(one table). You only have to modify one value in the tuning software, that provides a global effect to the fuel trims. You then modify the fuel target table to a desired fuel curve. The Fuel comp table(on the cars we have tested) does not need to be modified.

We have been a little slow on the release, and that is 100% my fault. I wanted to get 1000miles on the first set and take them off and see if there was any areas of concern...excessive wear, etc. I will have those off on Tuesday(possibly Monday if my wife lets me go into the shop...lol).
The next few sets will be finished up and shipped out. I want to try and get the first few sets to guys here and if they have access to a dyno that is really helpful. The other delay was the MAF sensor flanges. We got a few sets of the wrong size, so I needed to have that corrected before final welding. All of this will be sorted out and kits shipping this upcoming week.

I wanted to thank the community for the continued support. This truly helps us design a better product and keeps us in touch with the pulse of the community.

Regards,

John

Since Stillen is the industry standard(they have a very good product) it makes sense to use it as a benchmark test... If someone has access to a dyno and has the Stillen G3, but does not want to buy a set, I can potentially send a test set out for 3rd party comparison, but they must be sent back after testing(assuming they do not want to buy them). We could go over the details off the thread...give the shop a call Tuesday or send me a PM during the week.
