R2C intake dyno'd ... ever?

Nikkolai · 07-25-2011, 06:37 AM

Not sure what answer you're looking for since no one has these in the 370Z and dyno'ed it. Or maybe I should've said that in the first place? The G37 share the same engine so not sure why you'd say a G37 isn't the same as a 370Z but main difference would probably be the aerodynamics of the front bumpers and how either one takes in air. Sorry I couldn't answer your question because I've tried looking into this before when I was looking for a Stillen long tube alternative.

I was on R2C's website and it looked like they had an intake model specifically for the 370z.

I'm also interested in any dynos on this intake and if it's worth it over just dropins and post maf tubes.

Personally, I'm skeptical that any sri will be worth the $$ but I hope I'm wrong.

I don't think the gains would be worth it... SUPPOSEDLY the G37's get the same power as the Stillen... but we're talking about a completely different car as far as air flow and such.

oh no big deal man... I wasn't trying to come off like a jerk... it is the same, but yeah the aero of the Z seems to make a difference when it comes to the different intakes. I wish they would make the same power, since it seems it would save a bit more install work and it really is a nice looking intake set up.

It looks like it's made of chrome as well. Can't remember where on the forum I read it, but I believe it was proven that chrome absorbed and retained more heat from the engine than other materials. That, to me, would be a detriment to performance. Looks nice though.

I still think that for the money, you really can't go wrong with the HPS, Mishi, or Z1 tubes and good filter.

Now, having said that, someone go buy the R2 and do a dyno to prove me wrong!
