so do you have any dynos that show power gains through the entire power band?

also, is there any difference in power if you do the lower IM as well?

 

So the $100 version is just the stock manifold gutted out and the vias soleniold removed?

 

ANSWER my PM and PM me your telephone # !!!

 

can you do this for the 6th gen too?

 

Yup, everything is the same EXCEPT I don't have an '04+ manifold so core program is out of the question, I would need yours first, however if you can score one from a junkyard for a good price w/elbow I'll re-imburse you up to $140 for it.

 

Lol, did you foget we talk on Aim all the time Anyways, lengthy PM sent to ya'

 

I'm confused, there is a dyno in post #2, it shows significant gains up top, with a small loss down low.

Yes, there are gains to be had from the port-matching, when I finally did one, I found the step/mismatch was actually alot more than I would have ever expected, on top of that it is made significantly worse by the very loose fit of the upper manifold onto the lower, if you were to loosen the brackets & bolts for your upper you would notice that you can slide the upper 1/4" in every direction, this makes for quite the flow disruption not having the runners perfectly aligned. So when I return a port matched lower & upper combo the lower also has teflon tape wrapped around the 2 studs to center the upper in the precise position that it was portmatched in.

Is there any difference in power? Yes. Is it significant? It's not going to do miracles, it's not going to have anywhere near the effect of the SSIM, I would geuss maybe 5hp at best, but when you are looking to get everything you can out of a motor, it's the collective mods as a whole, the little things that add up.

 

......

 

Yes, it's smoothed out quite a bit after gutting also.

 

p/m sent.

 

you mean this one?

[QUOTE=KRRZ350;6202232]

it only shows from 4.25k rpms and up... what kind of loss are we looking at under 4k rpms?

 

How much shipped to 11967? Just the basic ssim'd mani.

 

BUMP for some info

 

$10, PM'ing me will usually get a faster response.

 

Oh, haha, gotchya, my bad, that dyno was from an auto, you'll never see an auto dyno under 4K, you'd be hard pressed to find a 6-speed one much lower as well, driveability doesn't suffer much at all though, nowhere near enough to negate the benefits of 15hp that's for sure.

 

Hey Kev. I sent you a p/m asking you if you'd port match a LIM. Did you get it?

 

BUMP. pm sent

 

could this be done for the altima se-r if so i would be very intrested

 

Kevin,
Is there any code thrown for Vias malfucntion--or other assorted codes? Perhaps we can do before and after dynos on my car down by you. My powerband is all over the place with stock set up. Peaks, valleys and everything in between. When I step on the pedal, I never know what I am going to get.

 

BUMP pm sent a weekor two ago still waiting on a response.

 

I just got this back today, and it looks GOOD on the inside. No - I didn't spring for the outside polish jobs - then I would have to clean up the engine compartment...

In no particular order:

The shelf is gone, and #5 and #6 are opened up - I would have to do a half-dozen of these jobs before I could do the job like this..

I'm going to have so much fun this season.

 

As i take it...this is only for the 3.5??

 

^^Yup, just 3.5's (Including Altima's)
Wow, thanks for the pics Grey, unfortunatly I feel like a complete tool right now, I completely missed rounding out that little chunk that can be seen in pic ...95. Damn it. I'm dissapointed in myself I usually take care of that.

Also, I'm glad you didn't unbolt the cover on your basic version because I sealed and tourqed it for you of course, but in a way I wish you did, because even on the polished versions which have a block-off plate that is ground down and flushed out for the most part, I weld the nut to the bolt that blocks the old shaft hole. I'm sure lock-tite or even the excess permetex that gets on the threads would be sufficient, but I definitly like to play it safe with them.

 

Hey Mark! TS L-spec reflash will do wonders for that. But anyways, I'd be down for before-and-after dyno's, in fact I'll do the mod on a spare and install it in the parking lot for free, and pay for the dyno time as well, you have quite the labor credit coming towards you anyways for the very soon to be mine fwd talon As for codes, yes it is code free, but I've found that sometimes the ecu's pick up on the lack of vias if you don't leave the actuator/plunger assembly hooked up and zip tied out of the way, apparantly the selenoid can sometimes trip a code if it detects that it isn't connected to the diapghram

 

Very intresting, you really do notice a difference with this? How hard are intake spacers to install btw.

 

I still like what you've done there. Chunks are good - in cookies and brownies, anyway. When you eyeball the inside of the manifold, it all looks good - no chunks jump out at you - it's probably a flash reflection.

I saw the tidy work you did on the cover - and the sealant - so I left it alone the way I got it. After all, if I wanted beautiful, I would have gone for your polished version and one of Aaron's custom end caps. I prefer to fly under the radar, under the hood. Freaks out the losers, you know - 97% of the people I'm gonna whup this season won't even know it's a 3.5... Heh.

Dual 15 lb bottles in the trunk and 1-3 stages of spray should keep me occupied as well. Plus an under-the-hood cold-air intake starting at the front underside of the hood for my short ram intake should help those intake temps some...

 

how much is the ballpark to finish polishing the outside of a UIM and elbow? its about 1/2 done. too lazy to finsih it lol. let me know

 

hey,
wanna polish this for me?

 

Ummm, **** yeah, that thing is gourgeous, pm.

 

No clue, I don't know what has been done what hasn't, what grit it was started with as well as other precations, it's quite possible I'd have to start from scratch to avoid scratches in the finished product. I'd have to see.

 

so lets say you start from scratch how much would it be?

 

Hey man.. sent you a PM about getting a manifold ported.. can you hit me back when you get a chance?

 

This guy is not answering his pms or his phones...Weird.
I'm trying to get mine done, too.

-Peter-

 

Hey guys,

Kevin hasnt logged in since 3-30...he is a full time mechanic/student and cant always answer his phone while hes working on cars. Leave him a message if you are serious about the SSIM and I guarantee you he will call you back.

His number is 774-766-7462.

 

Yeah, busy guy but he is good about returning phone calls. He does great work.

 

free bump

 

I defantly will be contacting you shortly...

 

Has anybody else gotten a dyno on this thing? Would like to see full powerband on a 6MT dyno if possible. I have a spare IM in the garage; considering having this done!

 

I wish mine were just as smooth...

Tell me about it...

 

free bump for kev cuz he's the man
