Announcement!!! My New Manifold!!!!
 
Hello guys!
As some of you may know, Motordyne has been working on performance products for 370z. The first of which is the M370 intake manifold and it’s good to go!

I’ve had it on my car for the last 3 months to see how it performs. The manifold works great. For the guys that do daily driving, you will feel the kick after about 3700RPM. Now I have driven my car in many different canyon roads here in southern California. The car feels outstanding. Now with stock, typically when you drive canyon roads, you do a lot of up and down shifting just the fact that there are many turns also because the turns are real tight. With the M370, (only for experience driver only) you don’t have to shift up and down, just keep it in a gear you feel comfortable and maintain it about 3500RPM’s once you exit the turn just let the clutch go, no need to up or down shift, with the M370 you will feel the extra Hp’s and Tq.

Now if you guys have any questions feel free to hit me up. If you want more information and are interested on the actual product and want specs and details, contact

Motordyne Engineering
Sales (661) 298-7555
Tech (661) 993-5111
Fax (661) 998-5713

HP ratings will be defined by independent dyno testing.

That is awesome, I am very interested and will check out the store. It looks like the stock manifold is still sitting underneath the Motordyne cover, is it a modified OEM manifold or is it all new and simply retains the look of the OEM manifold?

Edit: Will the car need to be tuned to account for the new manifold?

The Manifold itself is OE quality; it looks stock without the MD cover. If you compare the Stock VS MD, you will see the differences, there is no need for tuning it, but it will help a lot, just the fact that it is allowing more air to run through. The combination with aftermarket intakes and exhaust, there is no telling what HP and Tq will display on dynos. Right now the MD exhaust is on its works. Let me say, it will raise the bar in performance. No one has ever seen what this exhaust will do. The technology on this is mind blowing. I’m not hyping it up in no way shape or form, I have seen it, I have seen the design and I have seen what it’s going to do, great exhaust ever.
As for the M370, My review on this product is all around great, installation very easy. Performs great, you can still use the stock engine cover for a more stealth look; the tone of motor is different, more aggressive. But be careful, the sounds of it is addicting and you’ll run out of gas fast, lol

Any dyno charts from before and after comparison? What about the manifold used in force induction applications? How is it?

wretched_z 09-26-2010 04:50 PM

Any dyno sheets? and how much is it? Didnt see anything about it on motordyne's site.

lastblueprint 09-26-2010 05:02 PM

This manifold was completed this week, I had the prototype on my car for the 2 months, and then I had the chance to run the final product for over a month. Its release was earlier this week, it’s not up yet on their site, but it will soon. This is brand spanking new……
This manifold has not been tested with any force induction, if you want to be one of the first to do that, contact MD. Tony wants to work one on one with people that are interested with this manifold, he wants to see what type of application will the manifold be use for, street, racing, drifting, N/A, F/I, what other products will be use in combination with this. Just contact MD, and see what MD can do for you guys. Like I said, he does want to work one on one.

ThoriumHotdog 09-26-2010 05:22 PM

Get us some dyno sheets! :) :)

ArtVandaleigh 09-26-2010 05:26 PM

In for the dynos. If it's as noticable as the 350Z MD manifold was then we might have a winner here.

Paul_S 09-26-2010 05:31 PM

Nice! I'm in for more info :)

Xan 09-26-2010 05:38 PM

Let me be the first to say that I find it rather weird that this was developed on your car, yet you state: "there is no telling what HP and Tq will display on dynos".

Who would develop any performance part and not see what it does on the dyno....

Z eliminator 09-26-2010 05:52 PM

I would like to see what it makes on my car, with all the bolt on's that i have.
Will it fit with the stillen G3 intake ?
I have all the dyno's for my car and i could give some good comparison on it with my 7 AT. on the track and the dyno.

True, on other independent dynos from what I have seen, the numbers are higher than what I had in my car when it was dyno tested. Plus my car was all stock. Now from the quote, meaning that people will have other stuff that come to play like intake, headers, exhaust, even ECU tuning, it’s true, there is no telling what power it may produce with all these factors, right? The number will be very satisfying. That’s the reason I mentioned to you guys that Tony from MD would like to work one on one with anyone that is interested.

I’m sure you will be happy, just the fact that in Canada, it’s much colder temperature. Here in southern Cali, it gets to 100 degrees, your cars performance will be affected. Hot temperature is no good.

CBRich 09-26-2010 06:12 PM

In for dyno sheets.

Ok cool :tup: For a moment I was afraid there was no dyno involved...

daleks 09-26-2010 06:26 PM

So the product is a piece of sheet metal that goes over your OEM manifold? This thread raises more questions than it answers. I know you're trying to hype up a product and your car was used for testing, but comments like the following don't build trust.

:ugh2:

Why isn't Motordyne themselve's posting anything about this new intake manifold?

So how much 'intensive testing' was done in the developement of this manifold by Motordyne?

NeverBoneStck 09-26-2010 07:50 PM

I have the manifold on my g37 as well. I put back on my engine cover for the stealth look. It does make a huge difference in hp and tq. Hopefully motordyne will chime in ..

lastblueprint 09-26-2010 08:14 PM

This is MD vs Stock comparison. This is me getting ready to swap the throttle bodies over to the Motordyne Manifold. The MD manifold looks like stock but is not. MD manifold has gone through many processes for a perfect fit, and lots of R & D for great results.

mmm I need to email them, cant call them.

this is something for tommorow

flashburn 09-26-2010 08:24 PM

Anxiously awaiting some dyno results. Especially with a car that already has all the breather mods. Although, I'm not really expecting much.

The first looks like a 350Z HR Manifold to me.... Look at the bracket position...

uhmm so whats your point? If its works it works. Looks good. WIll be in for dyno results. :tiphat:

I'll let others be the judge. Either they're using a modified VQ35HR manifold, or the OP is trolling.

Trips 09-26-2010 09:00 PM

Everyone needs to take it like a grain of salt since there is no data backing up this amazing manifold. Everyone needs to give the Op a Break He's only trying to help us with news of a new product, I don't think we need to start name calling. I'm hold reservations till we get official news and data to back it up.

ninous26 09-26-2010 09:34 PM

Won't be surprised if its a modified OEM part.. Kind of like the same thing they did with the MREV2 for the 35DE.. Even so, that's not a bad thing.. If it works, it works and you've got an OEM quality part.

Expect other manufacturers to steal the idea and make their own part for cheaper..

Supergoji 09-26-2010 10:28 PM

in for the flaming or great product, lets hope its the latter.

So, seat of pants how much hp/tq do you think you picked up? I am worried that doing this along with my current breathing mods will gain less (if there are gains to be had) but that can only be answered with a before and after dyno. If there are 10-20 rwhp to be gained, I will be very interested.

I will give Motordyne a call tomorrow to see what is up, but I would definately use my OEM engine cover over the Motordyne version.

wacthing...

Waiz 09-27-2010 02:03 AM

En para mas informacion.

WarmAndSCSI 09-27-2010 03:13 AM

This seems dubious, from the OP:

Quote:

You will feel the kick, worst case, on a 100 degree day you’re looking to gain an additional 12hp/16tq, that’s the worst case.
When this manifold went through the R&D, it was tested in low temperature and high temperature for a more accurate reading. From the dyno testing, 12hp/16tq was the lowest gains, it was consistent but the lowest with the highest atmosphere temperature. Now remember, many factors come to play when doing a dyno reading.
It’s not 50hp gain, it’s more in the lines of 12hp being the lowest to 25hp being the highest from what I witness myself.

Reading the developments form MotorDyne, seems like this is kind of a VQ35HR-VQ37VHR manifold hybrid. It is indeed a modified stock manifold of some sort.

G37sHKS 09-27-2010 03:04 PM

i had spoken to Motordyne for a month now.. i told them to tell me once this manifold is released.

and this is true this manifold was released only 1 weeks ago only..

the price of it is 699$

I was told that this manifold is not for HR.. its only for VHR.. there is a reason y it called M"370"..

but after seeing this thread on 350z forum.. Im totally confused :S...

Still waiting for dyno...

jran76 09-27-2010 03:23 PM

Seems pretty easy to understand to me....

It is a modified HR manifold. Similar to how the MREV2 was done but in this case, it requires significant modification to allow it to even fit onto the VHR engine.

Nissan did not want this manifold to be swapped onto the VHR engine so they made a series of deliberate design alterations between the two to make it impossible to swap them.

Hence the CNC modifications, hoses, fittings, new bolts and top plate.


vipor 09-27-2010 03:27 PM

Looks like some sensors are moved/missing...

G37sHKS 09-27-2010 04:18 PM

I think you guys are right.. maybe its same design as 350z Manifold but made to fit the VHR..

So the thing to do is combine the two curves and switch between one or the other at their crossover point. (RPM dependant).

This way the best of both can be attained... for both engines!

Simple in concept but it will be a great engineering challenge to implement.

Thanks for the link! Hey, if it works then I could care less where it came from.

Oh man... I hope this doesn't turn into another Stillen supercharger kit debacle with 'extensive engineering & testing'.
