New Kinetix Intake Manifold

If you don't visit the 350Z forums, here's some pictures and dyno numbers for the new Kinetix Manifold.






there's discussion over on My350Z. FI numbers show an increase at peak of about 55 whp.

price range is somewhere in the $725 range for a group buy and retail will be $800-$850

enjoy

The photo shown is a Z with a vortech on it. There already is a dyno of said car with the new kinetix intake manifold. The dyno graph above is recent from a NA Z. If you read in the my350z.com thread, the before and after runs are not on the same day so you be the judge.

Same day would be a good judge, we don't know the mileage of the car or conditions

yeah, sorry, the dyno is from an NA 350Z, fully stock, except for a limited TS re-flash performed after the initial dyno.

take it for what it's worth.

Nice. I'd like to see a member's review of the manifold.

It looks like a great product, and I like the gains across the entire RPM range.

But the plot is confounded by the TS reflash. How do we know exactly where the gains were made from the manifold alone? What's a "limited" reflash anyway?

IMO, I would jsut wait till more independent, controlled before and after dynos came out. Make an informed decision people.
