I have heard some things around the rumor-mill, but I am not sure that I want to trust it. Mike@UPREV has been discussing possibilities with Kinetix for my specific inquiry, but they are still "testing". The big question is who has one and how do we get it?

What is it going to take? Once I build my motor, I am going to push 0.7-0.8 BAR on low boost setting and hopefully a minimum of 1.5 BAR on high boost setting. When I had an S13 Fastback w/ CA18DET, I was able to run 1 BAR easy. But we are talking iron block, aluminum head. Turbo manifold.....iron stock. Intake manifold......aluminum stock. Where am I going with this? Would you have purchased a plastic aftermarket part to put in/on your motor 10-15 years ago?

How many heat cycles can the stock intake plenum/manifold take before it cracks and fails. How much boost can it withstand AND for how long within said heat cycles? I don't want to find out. And for reference, I have the M370 because I couldn't get 1 of the 3-5 Kinetix units that are out there.

As much as I would like to just purchase something and install, there's no solution out there that hasn't been discontinued at the moment. That is point of this discussion.

Once I am into my motor build, I will have a new intake manifold. I just don't want to be the pioneer on that front.

You're screwed, you can buy new manifolds for cheap though, lol


BTW, at 21 PSI, I wouldn't run the M370. It's a redrilled 350Z manifold, I've made them too, and you ARE making the walls a BIT thinner in 1-2 spots last I remember.

I feel you. I just need to make sure I have my stocker handy IF I can't source a metal manifold. Hey, that's why the Oh **** Fund exists...............I would rather not push it though.

Of you want a kintex manifold talk to z1 I thought about getting one and he said he could probly have the company make one, I changed my mind when they told me it would be over 1,200 bucks and there is no proof of gains. At lest that's what they told me, good luck

Yeah.......Mike from UPREV contacted them for me as well. They are supposed to be tweaking and testing, but I have now way of knowing for myself. Either way, I am in it for it's strength not to pick up a few HP. I can turn up the boost for that.
