Welp guys for those of you that venture over to the 35z forums you might be familiar with this. I basically made a huge upper plenum. I fabbed it and a welder of mine welded it. I made the intake as tall in the front as it is tall in the back. Big mistake, basically the hood wouldnt shut. I decided to move forward with the project and mill both the upper and lower plenums down. After removing almost 1/2 inch of gap. I realized i needed to stop or the lower upper intake wouldnt clear the fuel rails. So now the hood shuts and it appears the intake may be rubbing a hair. But in the mill when port matching i realized the shorter i got with both the more the port were being thrown off. So I port matched them. All and all this has turned out to be a fun project. I plan on my next cover not being diamond plate since no one likes it. So please dont blo this up on how (redneck) the diamond plate looks. thanks more to come

 

You know you changed the length of the runners right?

 

I also changed to a stock non rev up lower intake. The length of the runners on a revup are even shorter than what Ive done.

 

Cool! Must be nice to have a mill shop like that.

 

Yes i am very very lucky. I'm in the military and the old men that work onbase in the machine shop leave me the key. haha

 

do you have pics of the underneath of the upper plenum? is it a stock plenum that you "cut" off the top and replaced it with the diamond?

 

If you look at the center pic the top is actually bolted on. I just took the picture as a cutaway. Ill get more pics soon. mike

 

new pics thanks for checkin it out mike
1 bottom side of top
2 bolt holes and freeze plugs welded shut
3&4 notice clearance between fuel rail and bottom of plenum
5 powdercoated top (color of the car)

 

Looks like an interesting fabrication. Can't wait to see it on the car and the hp gains.

 

this **** is unbelievable. I put everything on and it was super strange sounding. Just a blip across the parking lot (with traction control on) and i was sliding all over the place. I drove the back streets home. Tonight its highway time and tune time. This car has a completly different feel now. But this is unbelievable I did this all on my own will post new dyno soon I hope thanks mike

 

Major props for the project.

 

wheres the cosworth one?!?!?!

 

What who said anything about cosworth? If you look over at the 350z forums the thread is long with lots of reviews. and more progress pics. Nobody really bit on this sight so..... I'm happy with it and dyno results will be up soon got the appointment hahaha mike
