Bought one of thease

TBS

Cant tell the diff in Perf, but......... it sounds meaner

Bought it from thease folks.

EVILDESIGN

Kamski

 

Neither of the links goes to the company, Whats the benifit of having that spacer there?

 

What's the ID?

 

fixed as of right........ MEAOW!!!

 

Ident to throttle plate. No idea didnt measure.

Kamski

 

Gives a 'whine/whistle'?

 

umm Ebay link ,doesnt show VQ35 Maxima

 

No just more of a grrrrrrrrrrrowl.

S'bout all, I guess I'll find out during my trip back to the academy on the MPG thing and power

And friggin I dunno what happened to the Maxima one???

Kamski

 

Neighbor has one in his Dodge truck. Sounds semi-cool when he gets on it. Almost like a SC whine.

 

I really doubt it will add any more power, xcept maybe a tad more intake volume. However I'm more curious if it helps fuel econ..... I guess we find out next week

Kamski

 

Interesting....waiting for further updates

 

It should get you a little more air and help a little at higher RPM. Let us know!

 

no tune, no work to full potential!

 

You dirhty bagga

 

 

This is the part most people miss about boltups... Good catch young blood.


Your ECU is both your friend and enemy!!!

 

If I can find a spare ecu, the TS reflash is my next mod.

Kamski

 

Probably the same concept as the Tornado where the air is swirled in?

 

it creates turbulence in the air flow that more-efficiently burns the fuel. ive heard as well its supposoed to raise your mpg and give you some hp.

 

K, i dunno if this is right, but i checked my MPG and its said 30, then it went to 33 then back to 30.1 then to 34.

This is driving at 100kph, or 61mph for 85km.

If this is for real, i cant believe it.

Kamski

 

kam - those are teh thereritcal [sp?] values when it was deisgned.

im lookin at your link and do not see one for the maxima.

 

Yeah, but the tornado never worked and they have FTC on their *** now.

 

And I never bought it cuz it just looked ugly

 

I only got it to add volumetric efficiency to the upper plenum, but frig I see its advantage already

Kamski

 

the general premis is to increase the volume of air stored inside the manifold, thus raising hp. Same deal as the plenum spacer they make for the 350Z. the swirls are for better atomization of the air fuel mixture. It does work, unlike the tornado.

I'm pretty sure those are the Ace Precision TB spacers. They look identical

 

NAAICE,

this is my next mod.

OHH YEAH!!!

Kamski

 

?!?!?! once again, keep us posted kamski! (when do you plan on doing the rear BBK)

Look at the Dyno half way down....... 15hp.

Kamski

 

smoother airflow! = quicker/more air goes in=power at least that's my interpretation

 

oh man I need to resist these mods....

 

NEW ONE MADE FOR THE VQ35DE , YEAS BIGG SUCCCESS.

 

i quote

"- INIFINIT G35 MANUAL TRANSMISSION
- 9 TORQUE….6 HORSE GAIN"

not bad at all

 

achu! feuh, excuse me, but I'm allergic to BULL SHIET! lolol

 

It could be true depending on other mods on the car. It also could make you run leaner.

 

Has anyone bought this yet??? AND ????....

 

you mean anyone else besides Kam?

 

another. http://www.alteredatmosphere.com/mm5...de=350Z_INTAKE

 

OOOOO, thats nice. I'm hoping the spacer fits with the new fujita intake I just ordered, otherwise its to the SALES THREADS

But the sound this thing makes is AWESOME

Kamski

 

this one doesnt look at thick as the other one that kam originally posted. i wish the aam had a dyno sheet or some numbers [even though its minimal]

 

IMO, if the engine had a carburator, giving a swirl action to the incoming air could (MythBuster episode 2134) improve atomization. Air/fuel mix going through sharp turns in the intake tend to separate, and reduce atomization. The swirl could reduce that effect.

But, on the VQ, any air disruption will most probably reduce the air flow. There is a reason those CAI have a smooth bend. The aluminum foil wrap was a much better investment IMO.
