Here's the link video of my car on dyno with takeda intake and also some pics of plenum spacer in the making.


09 Nissan 370Z Takeda Dyno- Video

Nice, what does the spacer do?

What were the final dyno numbers? Did I miss that in the video?

It's a spacer for the intake manifold. I myself never heard of it until I let afe (takeda) use my car for r&d. Suppose to generate more air flow I believe. Check it out on their website. Anyways the prototype was tested on wed n top end power was lost so they are going to make a new one. The one for the g37 made good gains I believe. Don't remember actual numbers.

Looks like the dyno was done with the hood open which means that the real world gains might not be as good as they are on the dyno. It would be like dyno'ing the Stillen G3 with the bumper off the car. Does sound pretty nice though.

I'm not an expert but Im thinking when driving the air should be flowing thru the front and all hot air in engine should be pushed back and at high speeds there should be a high velocity of air? So what I'm asking is shouldn't it work better than dynoing cuz to me on the dyno the car is stationary n all the hot air is sitting in there getting sucked up but when driving cool air is taken in. Maybe I should dyno driving what do u kno I have an app for that lmao.

You can do a rolling dyno of sorts, not to measure HP but to measure acceleration. Requires an accelerometer setup. It would be pointless without a baseline setup though, and ideally baseline and installed should be run on the same day under same conditions with some driving miles in between for ECU learning.

Yes at speed there will be more air coming in but exactly how much we really don't know. That debate has already been brewing about the Stillen G3 after 370Z magazine had poor dyno results with it.

Hmm. Ic.

What I observed when the car was stationary running with hood open air around engine bay was hot like a sauna. So I'm thinking with hood down must be even hotter. So Im hoping when driving all that air is push back.

The other way to look at it would be to measure air intake temperatures (inside the tube) on the dyno with hood open and hood closed and see the difference. Then measure temps again on the street. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
