Heads up on Product discount!

Guess it will be a wait and see (which makes a 10% discount before the end of this month pretty useless) I know the pre-HR 3.5 had a restricted air

I know the pre-HR 3.5 had a restricted air flow and a spacer solved that, that's why you saw good gains. The re-design rev-up engine in 2006 already took a lot away from that and the fact that there is no HR spacer is probably a good indicator that there wasn't anything to gain on that design.

So I would be interested to see what this can do on our engine.

What intakes did you have for the test and were these included in the gains or was the baseline with the same intakes?

this is what I thought too, so is the new plenum larger? And I thought it was a tight fit in that area so can it be any larger?

Hello,
This entire R&D with the M370 plenum was done with all motor components stock, these dyno runs were done with clean OE Nissan air filters. The Base line varied from 262-276HP, depending of many elements once again. Base line was dyno’d many times throughout the day to make sure we were getting consistent number and this was not including the dyno runs that were done with the M370 plenum itself. Once again base line was recorded and dyno’d at different temperature, airflow, weather conditions, atmosphere, and so on to make sure the result were being consistent. So far the results have been great and very impressive. For the discount, I’m not sure how it’s going to work but I can find out soon enough, I will be keeping you guys posted on that.

Zsteve, the 370z plenum is not bigger or larger, it fits like OE. It’s design by Tony. Tony is the creator and engineer of these great products. He is a real rocket scientist and is applying great physics to Nissan performance. What MD has in store for us will be very satisfying. For those who have met Tony, you guys know he is the real deal, he has worked on many things in his career as a Rocket Scientist, I’m just glad he like Nissan cars, lol.
