KINETIX intake manifold for the 350Z
#161
I always putt my car for the first 5 or so minutes, so its not a cold exclusive problem. The problem is only noticeable going up inclines/on ramps in second, or quick passing in 3rd. I dont drive like a maniac that often, so its hard to diagnose the issue.. I'm pretty convinced its a solenoid acting up since it only happens under high RPM situations.

just following up like i said i would,.. put on the nwp block plate and heres my results-
02 3.5 6spd
there is a slight torque loss, but it def is not as bad as i was expecting,..the Hp is still there and some but a torque loss is evident. i find the car to be alot smoother through the entire powerband even with the torque loss. The gains are def there up top. 3rd gear pulls good, and 4th gear is amazing compared to before. 4th gear is the most evident basically because when driving hard and shifting into 4th the RPM's are around 4500-4800 and it buries to redline so much quicker, it actually scared me in 4th it hit 100 much faster then usual... long story short- the top end feels to make up for the low end loss..but it all depends on driving style and other mods and what is right for you...i think im going to leave it in 2 weeks... then put the vias back on and see how that feels.. and then i think ill have a better understanding of what i want .better low tq or better high end hp lol..blah blah blah
(great part though with great instructions from a great company)

yeah man.. give it a try,.. ill be interested to see if there are any differences with your headers due to better flow,... hey for 40 bucks and possible gain.. if u dont like it im sure you could sell it quick for 30, resulting in only a 10 dollar loss.. why not?
