me and my friend are coming to an end of bulding the dual intake for the 5th gen possibly 4th gen maximas... we still got to fix a few probs here and there... meanwhile we wanted to know how much people would spend on such intake...
since we're gonna mass produce them our selves...

 

500 dollars ?
i dunno but that was my first thought
so i guess what I'm saying is that is what
i want/willing to pay at least in that ballpark
providing it does something that is

will it be a duel variable intake ?

 

could you explain what a dual intake is. Thanks

 

lemme see it 1st

 

I'm not sure I see the benefit of a dual intake. Although, theoretically since the filter provides more service area, I don't see any real benefit to it from a price/performance perspective with good filter costs.

 

so hows it work? is it a frankencar type intake with and extra tube that runs down to the car like then injen with 2 filters?

 

I don't think dual intake setup is going to do N/A cars THAT much good, unless your are TurboCharged or SuperCharged.

I've seen Dual intake on most Turbo Cars, GT-R, RX-7, Supra, 300ZX, etc.....and only one on a N/A car, Corvette.

However, I still would love to see the prototype first before I answer your question on the price.

 

300 dollars at the most

 

I would pay what it's worth....NOTHING ! Unless you have a huge turbo, why do you need this ?

 

no reason for it..

 

we put it on my car and there was a 15 hp gain..
if u guys dont want it... fine

 

reverse psychology

 

Tough crowds here heh? Why don't you post some pictures and dyno of your product and I am sure pricing would not be an issue for these hungry horsepower enthusiasts! Just consider the law of supply & demand if you know what I mean...

 

15 hp gain ?? Please post the dyno numbers and I will STFU ! That is ridiculous .

 

I want one, put me down for one
Now I can put a twin turbo on the car.

So... if we use two of them will that give us a 30hp gain??

 

I want 5 !

 

No question about it, imagine the gains when I hook this badboy upto my turbos.

Dixit

 

Maybe after we do a dual intake like the M5, we can slap M badges all over our cars!

Why should the maxima be one of the few if not the only N/A V6 with a dual intake?!

 

This is a true ricer mod.....all looks no go ! I want to pull more hot air in my engine ! :CrankYankersRetard: YEAYY ! I got more hot air , Yeayyyyy ! :/CrankYankersRetard:

 

Damn yall, give the kid a break. What if he ain't bullshiitin'? I mean, yes, it doesn't really make much sense, but neither do random MAF failures and service crews that were trained at the service manager's house.

 

I will put as many air filters humanly possible to fit in the engine bay.. I should be faster then any car in the world. Ill even have some sticking outside the car through my hood and headlights and foglight holes.

Hey, which one for the nitrous nozzle?

 

i dont mean to be an a$$ or anything, but if you are not interested, dont post anything....different people have different opinions.

if he can prove that there are healthy gains of HP im sure that there are a bunch of people that would gladly install this mod on their cars...

but as far as pricing goes, i probably would not pay more then 2 regualr intakes...heh

I just dont see how there would possible be gains. Its not like the motor is sucking the life out of the filter. The filter is not restricting the air. The motor pulls in as much air as it needs and I just dont see how much more air 2 filters will bring it. The M5 has a reason for it. A BIG AZZ 4.9 motor that needs as much air as it can get.

 

I agree with killer but things have amazed me in the past so all i have to say is prove yourself and all complaints and bashing will stop and the money will begin.

 

SPECIAL ED! YYYYAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY

 

This intake will produce no additional power/airflow over any other - it is a "rice" mod, aka for show only. Not for any of our applications - n/a or otherwise.

You are designing this for the wrong car with the wrong configuration, if you design this at all..


I just had to say it.. this is hilarious... literally of Tornado-air calibre.

 

I belive you, but I STILL need some pictures~

 

just give me a little more while so we can get all the bugs fixed ... and then we'll see who wont buy it...

 

Tell them bro! Just remember that I am on your side
I am willing to be the first to test out your product once you guys work out all the bugs. Good luck!

 

He already mentioned a 15hp gain, and he did state the prototype already exists. I don't see the harm in posting pics of dyno results as well as what they have so far in order to gather up some interest.

 

It won't do jack **** for the VQ30/35. Not unless you plan on designing and running a dual TB setup like the J30 or something...

Remember, all that air has to fit into a single TB opening. I'm sure it'll cause a nice shock wave disturbance causing a loss of HP...

 

ugh, come on guys, have some faith. IF he can proove the gains, then y not, im sure that if the gains are good, you ll be in line waiting for it.....

my $0.02

15hp gains, eh? I'll believe it when I see it.

Like somebody else already mentioned, the only benefit to this I could honestly see is if you had an engine that had dual throttle bodies. But these engines do not have dual throttle bodies. If it's going into a single then you will have air coming in from two different paths into one and colliding into each other, creating turbulence, and probably reducing efficiency. You might even have a loss of horsepower.


Will eagerly be awaiting dynos and pics.

 

prove me 15 hp gain and ill pay your car off!
lol

 

I know a lot of you guys have no concept of car mods, or how true HP is acheived. You just buy what looks good or flashy. I have been modding since I was 15, and I am now twice that age. What dont you understand about why an N/A 3.5 doesnt need 2 filters. If thats the case, split your tailpipe into two mufflers, and you will get the same gain.....NOTHING ! Its not a flame, its the truth. Dont be ignorrant. Look at the guys that are clowning it. Its guys who have heavily modded Vq's not just idiots with tint and clear corners.....

 

holy damn
I thought he was talking about the manifold

argh... I go now ... That would have a use

 

Not trying to FLAME you but what harm will it be to see a dyno of his claimed of 15hp? We should all welcome new innovation even though the product may not be legit, until proven so. I am sure you have been in this forum for a long time and had prior experiences w/mods...and I would think you of all the people, you would be a supporter rather a doubter. As some of you had indicated that too much air into the throttle body can cause turbulance and in process reduce horsepower. Though the theory may hold true BUT until one's see the architect of the intake as to how it's designed to channel incoming airflow, there are so many variations which make that theory as bogus as the hp gains. Who knows, these guys may be genius or NOT?

Even though I don't posted much in this forum but I found myself logging to this site at least 3 times a day just to see any new mods/anything exciting or innovative to enhance the already mighty VQ's engine. I don't just blindly buy anything without first investigated the design/engineer of the product and from other owner experiences. To be honest, I think sometimes people here are running out of things to mod their car and posting topics that had been discussed numerous times and contradict their initial impression. Afterall, this is an open forum and everyone is free to express their interests. I am a supporter to any new bright idea, provided that the facts are documented professionally.

 

scopium whats tha deal man?? how far along have you guys got with it now? will u post somehting to show to the org so they'll stop killin your post....

 

Hey, I resent that!
