I've done the intake manifold mod. I just wanted to know what he was looking for.

i'll also point out to try and find out what's MISSING in the picture - that's the biggest clue.

 

Got your car running right yet?

 

motor is out of car and gonna put it back in tomorrow with timing chain and cover and stuff from a different vq30. Hopefully it'll be running great afterwards.

 

glad to hear that, i also had that question for b00b, i know he was backfiring from his intake.

 

same person...lol he's my bro

 

oh shizznit. you guys hang with siballiance? I sold him his tranny.

I'm gonna end up sellin my 350z mani. the 2k3 makes more than enough power.

 

I got dibz on your Z33 IM...

 

i'm selling mine too, it got sandblasted and everything comes with new gasket too. but yeah....sib....his friend busted my y-pipe and is refusing to pay for it...he ran overr a piece of plywood when test driving my car and he said he won't pay for it becaue his mechanic said it was "old"

 

beat him in the face with the y pipe.

This is exactly the reason no one drives my car but me.

 

Selling your "what"?

 

his z33 IM. context > you.

 

So are you planning to expose the secret like the other punks on the forum? Yeah, we are brothers but I own the car. The old timing case stuff was from a car with a bad motor so that might have been the problem. We managed to pick up a fully fuctional motor for $50 from my friend who did a DEK swap.

 

You must be one of them punks... ..


,,,

 

Yea, i must be.

 

why would i plan to expose the secret?

It sounded like the timing was off hardcore. What exactly was wrong with the bad motor? I'm asking in case I ever get a blown vq30. Good luck with the car, man.

 

Other then the fact that the cheap piece of sheet cover is missing..............

Which i already junked...

What is done inside the manifold to increase its performance? Obviously SR20DEN doesnt have the ability to extrude hone the manifold unless he has one stupid good dremel tool..........

And thanks for all the flaming

Kamski

 

FYI, that missing stuff was on the car when I made 265whp at Maxus.

 

find out what's missing, then put 2 and 2 together. the engine cover is missing, but it doesnt give any gains.

 

JESUS MERCY!!! its like talking to IT personell.........

Tavarish if u have nothing to add then pashal von!

Whats missing I see the shield off, now SR20DEN is saying the stuff was on there.......

265 WHP is a very impressive number!! Obviously I dont have the skill yet to dissasemble and reassemble a VQ35 motor but thats why I came here to get help from the people I know that have those skills.

Kam

 

Because many of us are IT personell.

 

And i also assume you hate windows...... go linux type of personallities.

Thank god I only have a few months left working in IT then.....

Anywhoo, how did u come up with the hone type mod to the IM just a fluke when u took it apart?

Kamski

 

Your beating a dead horse. Nobody is going to straight up tell you the secret IM mod. People are simply saying to do research, the info IS on these forums. I read forever before I even had a small idea of what it consist of and even now im still not 100% sure.

 

Have you even bothered to remove your IM to peek inside?

 

no....

I didnt know there was anything there that could have caused any air restriction... my knowledge on the subject is limited, but now I want to take my IM apart just to find out.... maybe ill figure it out maybe not....

That means you're going in the wrong direction. The mod should be a common sense mod, as in you just need the slightest bit of common sense to make it work. The answer's in your car, not on the forums.

 

How am I going in the wrong direction? I do have common sense, that doesnt help me with a secret mod. Niether does staring at the engine bay all day, id rather read something and educate myself before I went outside and started pulling things apart.

 

I can make you a SSIM for 300 bucks shipped.

 

that sounds nice and all but doesnt that go against everything about the mod? Not saying I wouldnt mind having it but it seems wrong to put a price on it.

 

$300 is a ripoff. I never charged anyone more than $200 for the work I did. And no you guys can't make SSIMs. You still don't know 100% what I did or not. Therfore you'll be making your own thing.

 

Is it me or is something missing?????? besides the engine cover

 

We know SR doesn't have variable intake anymore. Thus means the vacuumm canister and butterflies inside are gone.

 

Did you put an official SSIM stamp on it?

 

Honestly guys this hoopla over the SSIM is getting old. We all know he's not going to divulge what the SSIM is exactly, and I can understand that people would not understand why or may think it's unfair.

But from talking to him I believe he has some legitimate reasons for it, even if they are not apparent to all, or to those who do not know the history of the situation.

Besides, there is something to be said for pulling apart things yourself and figuring out how they work and how to make them better. You don't have to be an engineer or mechanic. Just spend an afternoon and take it step by step and pull the stock manifold off and look at it. If you have taken the time to look inside a FWD VQ35 manifold and think about how the air is flowing through there at high rpm and how you could modify it to get more air in, decrease restrictions/obstacles, and increase flow, then you will be most of the way there to having a manifold that is just as good as the SSIM. And you can call it your own name and sell it if you want, whatever.

Just my humble $0.02...

 

I know it's obvious from the picture shown here that it hasn't been done - but would you shorten the runners if you could?

 

I wasn't serious. I just wanted to know if this is the "throw money to make more power" crowd or the "i'll take a look in my engine bay" crowd

 

seems to be half and half. throwing money is nice when you have it, but paying 200 or 300 for something that supposedly (judging by those pictures and what i think goes with what is missing) is very easy to do yourself. could even be free, dont have my car right now so i cant look.

 

I wouldn't say very easy.

 

Still would be great to do something your self if you could. But the point is, if its possible to do it your self with some guidance from here then why not. I dont get why people keep things soo "OOH AHH, its a big secret!!!" only way you'll know is if you pay me the $200~$300 dollars.

Shows who has the scaly kaffer personalities doesnt it.???

Bah!

 

Me either.

 

No one really sees the fact that the IM is just a small piece of the 265 fwhp puzzle.......It all works together, but there are many overlooked ingredients.
