Burning some Titanium Intakes for 370Z
 

Check out EVO-R's new titanium intake system for 370Z and G37. Peek shoot of them getting burned in right color.

oh yes, got some e-wood now! :rofl2:

:worship:

Moar pics!!!!

I guess I just dont get the rainbow colored titanium look...maybe I'm not JDM enough? :ugh2:

Damn it, short ram!

+1 to that.

Maybe they will add some Carbon fiber overlays and stickers!!! :happydance:

Purpose of using Titanium is that Titanium is the best material that takes heat and lower the temp the fastest. So as hot air or engine hot air goes to it, it lowers the temp fastest. If you don't like the burned color, I can offer not burned version. It will just be chromed polished.

:iagree:

Damn it indeed.

I also like the powder coated look. Pearl White anyone?!

why cant we ever get the option of everything to be painted black lol

i dont really get the burned look

Youre saying titanium is a good heat conductor....kinda bad with a hot engine bay and intakes sitting next to a hot engine...sucking hot air.


They are really pretty Though, looks amazing.

Bingo

the air that travels through the intakes doesn't spend enough in the pipes to pick up the residual heat from the metal. I think the real reason behind it is because its a fad. I am not trying to knock the product I am more of a function over form kind of guy so I don't see the point in it being titanium and the extra cost and time to "burn" it.

Actually real reason is it is super light weight and looks good. This is why ARC does their stuff with titanium. Also same with lots exhaust systems.

EDIT: just rehashed other peoples thoughts on engine bay heat and intake temps.

you have got to be kidding me! weigh that intake then weigh an aluminum Takeda intake and or Stillen (if theirs is in fact aluminum) I bet you money you are talking about ounces difference. Nice try though.


The reason the exhaust is done is because its a crap load more tubing and you can save 20-30 lbs when its a full titanium exhaust ,look at the C5 and maybe later Z06's for example They used titanium exhaust in order to get just a little bit more weight savings but didn't gain much.

Exactly...

Looks badass. Don't listen to the haters. ;)

However, I think the biggest factor here is that they are short-ram intakes. Although it will be cost-prohibitive from a manufacturing standpoint as you are on a smaller scale than big names like Stillen and Injen...create a similar design as theirs and you will have an instant knockout. :tup:

I commend you on your recent work, though. You are putting out some very cool products.

Thanks. What type of intake would be more popular? Cuz these things are no molding involved. So cost of making one custom is almost same as making 10 or 20. The intake sensor are still the same. In fact intake sensor for 370Z 350Z G35 G37 are all the same.

I want one that just hooks up to the stock air box, Ill wait to see if you can get it ti work. Want to keep it CAI. If running smooth pipes is better than the ribbed then why dont they just make them that way?

ive logged on just to make you do money:tup: People whant a stock box (which the air box are perfect) setup...burned titanium look awesome...mate your ti pipe with sensor to the existing boxes and ill buy it even if its more expensive then all the crap that got out so far....a lot of time were spent by nissan to get the box setup right and it takes air at the right place....we just dont whant the power robbing weiving plastic that silence air into the engine...your intake will sound more aggressive!:ughdance:

I agree. Going to the stock boxes with the burnt Ti pipes would be really nice.

maybe you can do a CF air box of the stock intake + ti piping and call it a day? :)

no CF for me I want to keep the price down.

yet you're looking at titanium? lol :D

I know I wish they would do just a pipe to the airbox with regular piping to keep costs down but then I guess no company would want to spend time producing an inexpensive product and not make much money from it.

You can do your own to the stock box with 2.75 silicone tubing. Smooth, No accordion, less heat pick-up, bigger ID, pick a color..

You'll need (2) 2.75" ID 45 degree elbos and a foot of 2.75" hose + 8 clamps. Get a few joiners (mine are custom) tap in a 1/2" pipe nipple for the PCV hook-up and you're done..

should try to make some heat shields like the R2C's intakes and then you got something

My heat shields are integrated into the tubes..Powdercoated Sheet steel wrap over a Phenolic tube and 2 layers of Foil and bubble insulation.. With the fang vents, My IAT numbers look just like a G3's......;).....5 degrees over ambient at cruise..I can't see it getting any better than that as long as the MAF elements (which read IAT) are in the engine bay...Plus, there is less heat pick-up after the MAF's with the silicone in lieu of metal..

arent the Z-Tubes popular in the 350z/G35 crowd?

so make something similar

I was wondering if the 350 tubes would fit on our intakes? For me under the hood priority is: functionality, cost, looks. Now if I can get all three then great. My car is blue so Im going with "DA BLUZ" color theme and blue intakes would be cool. Already have a custom blue interior.

doubt the tubes would fit

Modshack where do u get your tubing from? Auto store doesnt have any here.

LOL...Autozone?? You will never find specialty stuff like this there. In fact it's pretty hard to find 2.75" hose period. Go back to my post #28.....the link is at the bottom

Anyone in the Las Vegas area or south Cal area. I have 1 sample for SEMA show up for sale. Pick up only. No shipping. Special price. Please PM me.
