New best 1/4 mile time at the track
12.421 @ 114.37.
Full bolt on's with 4.08 gears and the MOTORDYNE INTAKE M370.
1/8 times 8..020
It pulls hard ,really hard and its a 370 sports 7 AT
quickist 370Z AT all motor
more to come next time at the track.

Z

With uprev tuned?

No i tuned it with the cobb.

What are your 60ft times and are you running street tires, drag radials, or slicks? Thanks :tiphat:

370Z testing Motordyne's new intake manifold - YouTube

After the manifold install it lost 10 Peak WHP and gained some torque. But the torque was increased nicely over the whole RPM range.

watcoz
 

fast ride my freind!

new best time in the 1/4 mile with the motordyne intake and a all the other bolt on's
12.342 @ 114.1
60 ft 1.80

great info, i have been sold so far on this plenum.

M370 installed, there's definitely power gains, by the feel of it, they're not small ;)


The car sounds much smoother on acceleration and just seems to breath more free now.

The exhaust note has changed a bit also after the install of the M370, not in a bad way :D

I'll have the car dyno tested at next oil change and post up the numbers.

This a good mod.

One negative is that we were missing two (2) screws with our kit and Seb had to find a couple on his own.

Stock engine cover fit fine over mine.

Tuning will bring back almost all of the power up top. 2 whp difference over 7200 rpm. Torque and mid range much better with the M370.

Mine is being installed right now!

Good to hear it's working out very everyone! A tune is definite to really get those mid-range numbers and to get some of the top end back.

Why modify the HR350 manifold and not the OEM 370 intake manifold?
R we saying the 350Z manifold is much better than the 370Z? Just asking out curiosity.

I believe the difference is in the runner length/size. This is why people typically claim a slight loss at the top end but gains in the mid-range. The difference between the two is not something you can simply modify the Z34 manifold to get.

What I would love to see is variable intake runner tech in a manifold. I think some sport bikes currently have this tech. Basically the runners lengthen at low rpms to increase torque and then shorten as rpms increase to get better top end. Maybe someday.

Thanks Gomer...been thinking of getting this one as my next mod.
Trying to get as much from NA since FI is not of consideration...just too hot to handle for me.

The runners on the 370Z manifold have longer runners which is where the air is shoveled into the engine. Longer runners=higher peak HP, and in the car game, peak HP is the name of the game, no matter how unusable it may be.
So the 350Z HR's manifold has shorter runners losing peak HP by 2-4HP, BUT the total area under the curve is increased dramatically.

I personally make a 350Z HR manifold conversion and what is being done is redrilling 4 holes to make it align to the 370Z, THEN adding a top plate to add pressure because you cannot bolt up the modified manifold... (Sounds a bit easier that it really is)

Cutting a 370Z manifold with a hot knife then going about modifying would take so much R&D work and time and effort, you might as well mold a new one of out plastic, lol

Beat me to it!!! LOL

Anyone got a 3d printer? :tup:

Got that part backwards, just so you know.

The HR runners are much longer, giving them a lower resonant frequency and thus tuning them to lower RPM.

The VHR runners are shorter and fatter, tuned for high end peak HP for dat marketing, yo.

Lol, yep, sorry, it's been a LOOOONG 2 days with no sleep due to the GF and going to the hospital to see how my grandpa is doing

GF? Pics or it didn't happen.

made a blitz blow off valve with a rapid prototyper in college. punctional piston and all

picture does this piece no justice

It looks like a bar of soap, I would definitely rock it in my shower.

But seriously, it looks bad @$$.

HA! it kinda does. yea its some pretty strong stuff when its out tho. possibilities are endless

The only problem I see with the more readily available rapid prototypers (or 3D printers as they're called in the consumer space) is that the plastic they use is this stuff called PLA. It melts at very low temps.

Some of the more commercial printers can do ABS, which of course has a higher temp and strength rating, but those machines are huge bucks. More than the car.

I have this and an Amuse exhaust on my Z
Can really feel the difference! This thing rox my sox!
