-Custom colors will be available for a modest charge of only $20-$30 (PM for details)
-We are offering them in either brushed or aluminum or gloss black!
-K&N Filters with angled inlets for optimal fitment
-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 3 intakes!

***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***

Any Pic's of these mounted on a z w/ the bumper off?

I will have installed pics for you guys very soon!

Want these so bad. Really bad timing for such an awesome release lol

I'm interested in group price and probably would want black if that's the only color available. Keep me posted please

Pm sent!

I am In..

I'm in. Is it possible to get it powder coated red to match nissan's solid red on our Z's?

Custom Stillen SC intake? PM'd you.

Probably going to miss the group buy time frame but can I get a price for intakes, installed, uprev tune and have them powder coated in some kind of purple.

Hey, I havent received a PM unless you sent it over to John. Please re-send if not

This group buy will be up for a while so keep on keepin on

Is it possible to install these on the day of a tune, and the tuner won't need your maps, or will they still need the map details you send on top of a 'standard' tune?

Yes they can be installed on the day of the tune, however if you are getting a tune you will still need the revised map table but that will be done while tuning anyhow.

yes please send me price also
thanks

Alrighty, sounds good. :tup:

Order Placed..

i think i'm gonna place my order as well. just waiting to hear back from the akuma guys about some tune questions lol

Give them a call. I just got off the phone with Kevin.

i'm at work and stuck here til 5:30. not sure how late those guys are open.

We are open from Tuesday to Saturday 8am-5pm however we are usually here later than 5 :)

Lets get some more sold!!

How much shipped to Toronto? What if i want it in red?

Agreed haha

I like the black, that is what I would want... but the fact that you say they require a tune is a major turn off here...you can bolt on any other intake and off you go... :(

It does not require a tune, it requires revised maf tables which we are more than happy to provide to you.

actually with the Z if you have exhaust and intake mods you really should get a tune. if you lean it out too much you're risking damage to the engine. just FYI.

How else (aside from going to a tuner) would someone be able to update these?

(Not trying to troll, merely asking the logical response to your explanation. :tup:

Beneficial, but not mandatory. Which is the difference here. With these it is mandatory (within reason) to get the updated tables.

cobb access or cipher cable, but I am not buying either because of a intake, my car will be dyno tuned once NA mods are done, and an intake is 99% of most peoples first mod, then again for FI, so its pointless for me to buy either, IMO you have really limited your market by doing this...is it because of the pipe diameter where MAP sensor are? Most other manufacturer reduce the pipe size for the MAF's.

I don't really think they are limiting their market. I think they are hoping that people make an intelligent purchase and understand that some minute tweaks are needed to bring out the best from the mod.

I am also doing my intakes Last once I know I've got a tune lined up so that they're installed just before the tune. It's planning ahead. :tup: My biggest debate right now is whether or not to PC the pipes or leave them brushed. :icon17:

Good point.

I wonder what's different in the design that makes them require vs just benefit from a tune, i.e. MAF table update.

It was mentioned a time or two mixed in with other posts I think... I'm not really sure what exact post to direct you to... Akuma would have to step in and answer that one...

Well I guess time will tell, I like the design and the black looks great, this would be a no brainer, but I just do not see even 50% of Z modders waiting till a tune is going to happen before buying intakes or buying a cobb or cipher cable, maybe I am wrong, and for these guys I hope I am, I think this appears a quality product and I would buy it, but I can get the stillens and have proven gains with no tuning or map updates, or the new long tube taketas...not trying to be a downer, but I have a different business philosphy is all, I like the innovation and design!:tup:

I don't think COBB is even making tuners anymore for 10+ Z's, I think they only did for 09, and have stopped. If you have one, I think it would work, but they haven't still made them. (Was the last info I had on COBBs)

Any Z modder looking to go for max performance will ultimately (if they're doing it right) get a tune at some point. So really, it's not that out of line with what the Average modder does. Sure, some don't get tunes, sure some get tunes and don't need them... It's all about what the modder is looking for and their intelligence base.

The beauty of this one is the fact that Akuma has already done the work of what your tuner would need to do making the tables, and are Giving them to you free, instead of adding an additional cost, (:tup: to Akuma for that!) And you don't need a FULL tune to get this table installed. A simple flash will allow you to update these. Those generally go for $300~. So you don't have to spend all day on a dyno.

Granted, with Stillens, you don't need this... But with Stillens, you're looking at paying almost 2x as much vs the Akuma's... Not including Installation.

Lastly, the Takeda's have had several issues with delivery, and no definite dynos to prove the gains. With pricing still above the Akumas, and only one filter which potentially might help/hinder gains...

I'm not trying to be a fanboy (and I don't even think I could qualify since I don't have a set yet :icon17: ) I'm just trying to give fair/balanced debate. :tup:

Akuma's intake requires a revised table because it uses larger diameter piping and does not neck down at the MAF. The MAF will read differently and so the maps need to be adjusted. Larger diameter also means a bit more low end torque, which is better for a street car since prior CAI's see their best gains at the highest end of the powerband (think 6000+, a bit overkill for street driving).

Cobb did make an AccessPort for the 09, unfortunately, some drivers reported a lot of detonation and misfiring. Sometime early in 2010 Cobb completely dropped all support for the VQ37. People can still use the AccessPorts just like you'd use Osiris, but you don't get support from the manufacturer anymore.

I am looking forward to seeing these come out; unfortunately their release is not timed well for me. I'd have to sit on these intakes until I get around to buying Osiris anyway.

i'm the opposite i've been sitting on my osiris tuner since january now waiting on the intakes lol :tup:

Please move this discussion to the intake thread as this is a group buy thread.

We at Akuma understand fully your concerns about these intakes but they are not meant to just slap on your car and call it a day. They are race proven, and dyno tested to be very durable and still efficient even with a whole lot of heat soak.

Yes they do require revised MAF tables but its something that can simply be done with the cable or the Osris Tuner or the access port (Cobb no longer supports the 370z)

We appreciate anyone who has stood by our product and for that we thank you.
We have done what we can to make a very reliable intake backed with great customer service!

Cheers!

how close are we to having the number needed to start making the intakes?

I talked with Kevin today. Looks like we are still awaiting people. I my just end up getting them to weld me up some since people just can not grasp the idea behind there intake system.

C

i'm waiting as well. i'm on the list and since there is no rush since we are short people i was waiting til my next pay to send them the money. wanted to get ahead on a couple bills this last pay since i know we only had about 4 of the 8 needed to begin manufacturing. if Kevin is gonna make yours i got no problem sending him the cash and get mine as well.
