first off, awesome.
couple questions (that i posted in the other thread):
is there a better location for the air filter?
and would the hood close if you cut off the elbow and welded an adapter plate on? it kinda looks like where the throttle body meets the IM is the highest point, but if you cut off that bend, just curious if the hood will close?
that would keep the intake filter on the driver side without having to run long piping across the front.
i think nismo3112 was going to try this, he lives close by so maybe i can go check it out when he gets around to it.

So is the manifold actually bolted down in that picture? What about the throttlebody, are you going to use a different one for that or find a way to make the drive-by-wire work?
I'm guessing that's an intake meant for a 350Z, as well?

ok, still in the dark as to whether you need the Z valve covers.
Also, why would you need to get rid of the AC line?
Would a strut bar fit?
i'd also be interested in seeing the hood clearance issue, you can hack away at the subframe and see how far you get...then use hood spacers, and then if it still doesnt work, use a hood scoop or flare.
This is completely different from what i'm going to do, meaning i'm going to get the 350z IM with spacer, and use the 4th gen throttle cable and MAF.

ok i guess some people dont have a clue about whats going on so i will answer some questions
jeff92se- what do you mean its not any furhter then emax? the car starts and drives. all emax was did was put it on and figured that the hood doesnt close. i am past that.
tatanko- why would i use another tb? and yes the im is bolted down. the car runs and drives.
tavarish-z covers are a yes, strut bar does fit, hood clearence issue is simple. get a scoop. maxs today hacked away at the hood and he is almost done. he removed the subframe of the hood which gave some room for the hood to sit lower but its no where close enough for it to close.
steven88- i am using a everythign 2k2 including the ecu and the e-gas tb. lower is 350z with 350z injectors. direct bolt on.
and a quick note about the other thread, it was deleted on the account of some people getting mad at me and sending me stupid pms.
icey2k1- i am wanting to go to the dyno asap as well

From the pics the TB and TB elbow seem to be the only thing that would hit the hood. It would be nice if we could get someone to make us a custom plenum that is spaced, but has the TB pointing straight out (toward the driver side on FWD) and downward so the hood can close.

How about the 350z aftermarket plenums? Their design is different...do they have more clearance than the stock 350z IM?
Vasily...your running 350z lowers+injectors? Are the injectors plug and play with the EGI harness+2k2 ecu?

the highest part is the begining of the elbow and it ends with piping right after the tb. for me it is the coupler instead of the piping. i was going to use a z-tube but decided not to.
here is a pic of the hood.

Someone finally figured it out.
Almost.
What needs to be done here is to custom make a plenum that is actually turned 90º back to stock, but fits on the RWD upper manifold. I think we can make a mold with packing foam (to set the hood clearance) and some fiberglass.

If you don't have a way to readjust your static fuel mapping you really should put the 315cc injectors back in. The 335cc injectors will only make your static maps run very rich, which will skew the dyno results.

Here is the thread I posted last year where I installed 390cc injectors.

that sounds like a plan. i don't think hood clearance would be an issue if the highest part of the IM was oriented towards the back of the engine like it is in the 350z, as opposed to how it is now, which is w/ the IM slanting up towards the midline.

I guess you will be ignoring Matt's advice to put the stock injectors back in? I hope you do have some sort of piggyback, im sure that thing will put down nice numbers if it is tuned right...
