M370A=HomeMade

Rooskey · 06-09-2011, 12:48 AM

From what I have heard about motordyne they seem to be a very reputable company. The 370z is my first japanese sports car and I really have enjoyed it. There intake will give an honest torque gain but Do Not expect it to be a good deal. The quality of the part is on the NO. Back to the stock manifold for me. ((iDO NOT like the aluminum Plate you have)) That is cheap!!!

Did you put it on the dyno? If you don't like the plate, you could always put stock engine covers on. From what i have seen, 10-15 ftlbs gains in the mid range is pretty impressive to me.

Mine works just great it made all sort of more rwhp and torque between 3000 to 7000 rpm and i did not loose any top end power.
1/8 mile time with it 8.02 @89.3 mph.
12.42 @ 114.3
all motor 7 AT.
i ajusted my tune with my cobb and it really goes now.

I should really try to find a used Cobb for my AT just to compare it to my Uprev.

Hey when you do, would you mind shooting me a PM on that I am kind of leaning towards a Uprev tune but I have thought about a Cobb as well.

thats going to be hard since Cobb stoped the production on our platform and getting a used one that work on a 2009 370z 7 AT isnt easy..

so going for Uprev right now is pretty much the only choice for you,

so, if i understand your point, you don't like the plate as a stylistic choice. everything else is ok?

The 1/4" aluminum plate is there for a functional reason. It needs it. Do you have an alternate suggestion?

Armonster · 06-09-2011, 10:55 AM

What is this plate you speak of? I never received one when I ordered my M370 intake.

Design a new intake and dont use 350z parts.

It would definitely be nice to see Motordyne or someone else come out with a full new design meant for the 370Z. I don't like the mentality, "We can make it fit."

On the other hand, if it works, it works.

Improving flow is time consuming, and that cost gets passed on. This is a good, cheap manifold.

Seriously, I would just be happy that someone even bothered to spend the R&D dollars to give you anything. If it wasn't for them you would have nothing. If you want to ball out and design something from the ground up then you should go right ahead! (if you think it's a good investment).

Us 350Z HR guys have nothing!

how much more would you be willing to pay for the same performance gain as M370?

I'm sure that a large part of the M370's cost is getting the OEM manifold. I'm thinking you could have a new one molded for less. The R&D would be the costly part.

Maybe Motordyne can chime with more details.
