It costs alot and does nothing.

 

even with the said 16HP gain, its bogus?

 

Well, it seems what I post isn't connecting so I see two choices:

1) Buy one and dyno it to verify

2) Run this though the search engine here and research what others have to say

 

+1 from what ive read on other threads.

 

The only benefit that manifold will give you is to even out the airflow between the banks. And it works well with FI cars. On NA cars it's a waste of money and doesn't gain squat.

 

and by well you mean worse than a simple spacer

 

Well, I can't say because this is what I have been told. But a few I know switched from a spacer to this manifold and it gained some power, but only on a FI car.

NA car I think this SSV actually causes it to lose power right?

 

Definitely do a search here and on my350z.com. The SSV is a complete waste of money unless you don't care about performance gains and are strictly going for looks. If you are looking for performance gains, get a Motordyne plenum spacer and/or MREV. It's one of the best bang for the buck mods that you can get.

 

Well, many people with cast plenums and spacers FI have put out more power after switching from the SSV. Its a great mod if you are after the look and you have a show car, otherwise just about every other option is better.

 

The gains on an FI car are very minimal. The most I have seen (and I did a lot of research cuz I was considering this SSV at one time) is a 10whp on a TT 350Z. For $800+, definitely not worth it. Once again, even an FI car will see more gains with a Motordyne plenum spacer and/or MREV.

 

Nice.....thanks for the info guys. Well I feel sorry for the owners who bought that thing then. It is pretty though.

 

search button works wonders

 

OMG!

SEARCH...

It is not hard to do and there are tons of threads on this thing already.

 

sorry, sorry, nevermind, i searched and found my answer! search really works! haha
