Intake Air Temperatures

Looks Great!

Modshack, any plans to make a kit to sell to fellow forum members? I may be interested in your Maf's and intake cans (black would be my color preference)?

Thanks,

Thanks! I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Here are some pictures of the intakes with my painted engine covers and ZeeToyz engine caps.

Thanks,

You can already buy air boxes for filters and maf's too.

LOL...Funny, John (Zpirate) and I discussed this earlier today!
Unlikely that I will for the following reasons:

1) I am not a vendor here and doubt the revenue I could generate from the various things I could design/build would make that financially feasible .

2) I am not real confident in the general mechanical skills of the members here. This set-up took a lot of hands on and slight modifications to turn out like you see it.

3) It would not be affordable. If I were to charge what I generally do for this work it would be too expensive. I could cut my margins, but I'm not interested in working for peanuts, in addition to supporting the inevitable issues that can/will arise.

4) This crowd is Dyno driven. My designs are more to improve day to day driveablilty. A few more horsepower at 7K RPM's is not what I'm looking for, but it seems most here are.

Zpirate is a local friend. I do his airboxes, he does my wills.......:-)

Where did you get those Z caps?

ZPirate · 04-04-2010, 04:01 PM

ZeeToyz. They just came out with the 370Z caps. I have the 350Z caps on my 350Z. Call and ask for Terry if you are interested. They have them in red, blue and chrome.

Modshack with bolt ons and a tune would your MAF still be of use? Its to lean the car out some right? So is that still a good idea after a tune?

No need as a tune shoulld be making those adjustments....The MAF tubes are just mechanically leaning the car a bit as opposed to a programming change within the ECU when done by a tune..

On my drive home tonight I measured +6F over ambient temp. Not bad IMO. Sorry for the bad pic.

Hey modshack, how are the IATs at idle/standstill with the aluminium MAF housing?
The stock plastic pipe gets very hot already so i imagine things might be a little warmer with a metal one.

Old post, but if you set the car up to forcefeed some cool air through the Fang vents, IAT's will stay relatively low. I haven't had this car for a few years now, but I don't recall much difference from stock (on the material anyway)
