GT-R R35 Plenum Test Fitment on my VQ37HR

N0SL3N · 05-10-2013, 09:10 AM

I highly doubt the plastic plenum will fail. Even 20 PSI is not that much pressure for the plastic and all OEM parts are designed with a large safety factor.

Staying on topic however; I am really interested to see what this does in the performance department as it is already a huge improvement in the looks department.

I want to see it on a boosted Z with a built motor, any takers??

N0SL3N · 05-10-2013, 09:15 AM

Maybe Mr Squeeze would give it a go. I think he pushes 19 psi.

KaienZ34 · 05-10-2013, 03:38 PM

The kinetix was just pretty if I remember correctly they didn't do any real flow or dyno testing. At least not before last years Zdayz when I talked to them about it, as they had their test z out there with it and it was SC'ed I think. One way or the other the car looked like sh1t with a ton of stick on body crap but the intake sure was pretty.

I'm looking for something that shows the separate runners just like the GTR or the kinetix manifold purely for the purpose direct port nitrous......hehe

roplusbee · 05-10-2013, 09:20 PM

I understand that the stock or even M370 can probably withstand boost, but I am looking to make the switch just for piece of mind. I really don't want to be that guy that has the one that fails. I don't believe in luck, but I musty have a black cloud or something, lol.

Back on topic...........I am really looking to make a move on this if homeboy makes it available to us. If not, back to making a move with the Kinetix folks.

I'm really interested to see what the balancing tube does for our cars...for the 300ZX guys, they experimented with tuning the balance tube, and it changed the power curve characteristics and whatnot. I know the HKS supercharger intake manifold has a balance tube as well.

I think that combined with the smooth, individual runners will net some serious gains, especially on a tuned, boosted 370z. I forsee it as a higher displacement version of the VG motor, in a sense.

ChrisUR · 05-13-2013, 03:39 PM

hey folks, back from Egypt and already made some extensive daily driving with the new setup ! So far absolutely no problems:
- cold/warm startup
- idle
- throttle response
- no CEL codes
- fuel economy
- WOT from 2nd to 6th gear

to sum it up the car acts, reacts and sounds completely as stock.

I cannot say yet if there is more power or torque even though it really feels like it goes through the gears faster as before but that could just be my imagination

the dyno* is booked for tomorrow and then there will be proof - stay tuned !

Chris

* same dyno I made two "before" runs with 6 weeks between each run reaching exactly same curves up to 1HP accuracy !

The two banks are already connected inside the stock manifold, so there is no need for a balance tube.

Now is a good time to start placing bets, Chris says he is gonna give out a free kit to whoever nails the result. Right Chris?

AlexRaymond19 · 05-13-2013, 03:57 PM

What was the before dyno?

2sl0w · 05-13-2013, 04:33 PM

Subbed for DYNO results

SgtGoldy · 05-13-2013, 07:44 PM

alright so whats this kit gonna run us?

best I can do is 5.00 and a date (you pay for the food, but you get to enjoy my company. Only stipulation is no sex... unless you throw in a FI TT kit)
