When you mean "tune" you mean modding peformance parts on your car I assume ?

In the states when you say "tune" were thinking Dyno

so your getting 50C thats about 122 Degrees F ?

I would say Cold Air Intake , you will still be pulling colder air in from the outside than inside your engine bay.

I think he means hes using some sort of UTEC to tune his car but is having air/fuel issues since its so hot out where he lives?? That was my interpretation of what he said anyway.

Hi guys

I need to modify my car to make it stronger and what i think is if the weather is hot this will be a problem for the car!!!

lets see:

NiZMo1o1

For the air intake I will try Fujita as most of the members are using it

for the spacers I have read some articles and I think it will be fine to install it and I need to buy a new UIM gasket

04MAX_ILLIN

Its to modify my maxima and I need some recommendation

I VIK I

Its only May we still have JUNE - JULY - AUGUST !!!!

I will capture a picture for the tempreture !!! today it was 48 C

I have checked their web they have these staff for my Maxima:

- VIAS Block Plate Kit - FWD VQ35DE
- VQ35DE FWD Phenolic Intake Spacer Kit - FULL
- VIAS Block Plate Kit - BASIC - FWD VQ35DE


Will I get better performance if I bought the three items?

regardless the price

so who can prove to me the air (for "cold" air intake) by the tire being pulled in from where exactly is any cooler than the high pressured air smacking in between the hood and grille that is forced into the intake?

You will definitely get better performance with the NWP Thermal Intake Spacers and the VIAS Block Plate Kit. Both of the VIAS Block Plate Kits you listed do the same exact thing. The only difference in those kits is that one of fully machined with a raised logo and looks absolutely beautiful. The other one is a basic version with the logo engraved instead of in raised lettering.

It's like living in AZ... Your body gets use to it and the cars around there are made to withstand the heat. You'll be surprised how how it gets, especially if you're not use to it.
