It made zero on my car

Mine made -2, but a whole lot under the curve, recommend tuning it though.

Mike 02-10-2013 06:35 PM

mine was negligible across the board, even with tuning.

... we found one that was homeless, so decided to take it in and shelter it with TLC. It might not make any power, but it sure looks cool. Only three were ever made. Going to the dyno in a few weeks (not to get this tested but for a retune as we added a DIS and pulleys since last tune) so don't think it will go backwards on power. Currently at 323.9 ... still have headers to go as well. Supposedly the reason this didn't make power is 99% because of VVEL ... it's sucking in too much air (22% more than stock) and VVEL decides to shut one or the other sides off so not able to take advantage of the extra air. I am hoping someday UPREV figures out VVEL, in which case then we could take advantage of all that extra air volume. Who knows, I am not a automotive scientist. I'm just a fat, old beer drinking retired military guy who happens to own a mid-life crisis 370Z.

Anyway, I think it looks good in there.

Would definitely be interested to see what it does with VVEL tuning. Looks amazing.

damn only 5 made......i love the look of this, i would imagine forced induction would work fine with this on.


anybody looking to sell theirs???? lol

Thinking the same thing... I want one for my motor build.

I still couldn't see myself paying more than 200-300 for one of these. Not 1k. It's some polished metal welded together to fit. If it was made to make more power or efficient airflow I could see some r&d money.

Regardless still sexy looking. If someone wants to sell there's for like 200 let me know lol

I think for forced induction it very well could be beneficial, especially if the runners are wider than stock.

i think people with FI have tried it and went back to stock plenum while still on the dyno.

That could also be a possibility because of the valve overlap.

I do like the stock engine cover. It really does a nice job covering all the wires and lines.

I have the exact same setup as this other guy and we had our cars dynode at the same place but he is getting 10 more horsepower than I am. Can anyone explain this? I had my car tuned as well.

Wonka2581 03-12-2013 10:11 PM

I'm so confused are these things for sale or not? I do want one....:rolleyes:
