Kinetics SSV Intake Manifold for Maxima?
I saw this thread for group buy for the Kinetics SSV Intake Manifold. WHat opinions do u have on this? Seems to fit Maxima since it fits Altima. Dang it looks good. Power gains seem slightly low for the price.

I read a similar thread a while back as well and the consenses was , although it looks great, not worth the power loss for the price. In other words, no significant gains across any power band...

Well, there is a group buy on these which may sweeten the deal some. Actually it does lose power at lower rpms, but not that much power. The slight power loss is below 3500 and gains are 11.4 peak HP and 15.8 peak ft-lbs.

The A34 valve springs aren't quite as stiff as the A33B springs either. I'm sure that accounts for a few HP.

haven't seen anything yet, you know those numbers that alti put out were untuned right, his AF probably got messed up and went lean on him at low end, thats why he lost power, I think with better tuning he could've have made better numbers.
but, he was there with those people and they didn't like what it put out, so I'm not sure if we can even get it to test it out on the max. not sure if they made more than one of it, they probably killed the project. I can't even find a number for that company..

My understanding is that there is a GB on this IM. So, I think they did make more than one unit. Yes, I do realize that it is untuned. Im sure programming the ECU and maybe one of the piggyback tuners would help the AF ratio.
