youve made 70 hp with only a CAI, plenum, pullys, and tuner?
and thats it?

 

I have a '07 model which starts off at 307hp at the flywheel and that's what I am claiming; so roughly 40hp increase from its stock version. The CAI and pulley's were good for about 9-15 (injen CAI that goes to the front bumper, not a z tube or ram air). The plenum is where I saw gains near 20hp at redline; so worth the money to buy the Kenetix racing plenum. The tuner enhanced the three additions and was good for a few more ponies to put me just shy of 350, but again, more important than the hp gains was the responsiveness. Where it used to lag a little it now feels almost like a turbo charged engine with its sensitivity and consistent pull(Cobb tuner).

 

20 hp from the kinetix plenum?
hows it compare to the md 5/16 spacer?
and the ingen CAI to the ztube w/popcharger?

 

I would love to know how you measured flywheel hp.

 

Ive heard good things about the MD spacer as well, however Kinetix has a few other selling points on top of claiming one of the highest gains; they are constructed from a material that claims to keep temperatures down 48 degrees compared to the stock metal. the spacer adds room for the air to smoothly be delivered and the Kintex also has a smoothed surface as well as an aggressive angle to help with the induction of cold air. I highly recommend this product as it completely woke my car up. As for the injen CAI; there isnt one on the market that compares, in fact some people have said it is too aggressive and feel as if its a danger in wet conditions, let me tell you I have had NO problem with that and I drive on bad wet roads here in New Orleans daily. I highly recommend this product as well. As for the tuner; its expensive for the gains you get but it killed me knowing my additions were being held back as well as I found uses for the many other features that come with it.

 

I didnt measure the flywheel hp, just used it in my example.. (can dyno's measure the hp lost between the crank and wheels?) the car had 311whp before the Cobb tuner; I have an appointment with the dyno after christmas.

 

[QUOTE=g35cam;3991701]I have $150 bucks, i know not much, to spend and i want to make my car look more exotic on the outside... what mod or mods should i buy first with only $150. Thanks

There is a DIY for Painting your headlights black. Will cost way less than $150
you want to spend.
It looks really awesome on a black car but I have seen it on other colors as well. I would suggest painting it to match the color of the car.
here is the link to the thread

there are many pics here.

 

In addition to the blackout headlights I posted previously. you could paint you grill black
which there is also a DIY on here I don't have link you will have to do a search.
I know you can get a gialla Grill for about $70 and do the paint work yourself.
If you go with the Gialla grill I would Place the Mt, fuji emblem in the center.
It creats a nice factory look that way.
you might even have enough cash left for a z-tube.
There is quite a lot you can do for $150 if you think about it, without putting a single sticker on the car.
You could even have your wheels powder coated black if you do it your self I have seen
I know there are some kits out there. you would have to check around.

 

Is this the Kinetix "Velocity" plenum?

 

might want to check out the plenum shootout test threads on here and over on my350z before you decide to buy
looking a lot like MD is the way to go

 

where did you find a gialla grille for $70?

Tint can make a any ride look smoother. headlights, tailights, and grille are the cheapest ways to make a G look a little Cleaner!


PS: Anyone know how I can post pics. Its asking me for a url?

 

Guys i just bought an 04 fully loaded Auto G35 coupe. What size spacers should i use on my OEM wheels/tires? 20mm all around sounds good to me along with a Eibach Prokit.

 

did you ever get that dyno? claiming 350 at the crank is still hard to believe with just an intake, pulleys, plenum and a tune. And pulleys don't even dyno anything.
