Really? Where? In controlled conditions too? Strange.

 

For the most part, I would have to agree with you. My personal opinion is for all of this bolt on mods to work right, The camshaft timing is going to have to be played with. Understanding the VQ has no EGR valve plus with the fact" That for the most part this engine runs on the lean side makes me understand what Nissan is doing for smog. More aggressive cam timing would make all of these bolt on goodies perform better. Its one bad azz motor stock.

 

G35_TX,

The Stillen CAI "reuses" the same power duct? I am very close to pulling the trigger for the Stillen CAI just for the sound. What's your impression of the Stillen CAI versus the stock intake sound? I know I've read many saying that it sounds awesome after 3500 rpm, etc but just wanted to get your impressions too. Under 3,000rpm does it sound like the normal intake with k&n or regular filter? I would perfer if the sound kicks in even when it's low rpm (I know...that's usually exahust that does that). Called me weird but I love that drone around 1,500rpm to 2,000rpm. It would be great if the Stillen can increase the drone.

From the picture doesn't seem like you have any clearance issue with the AC line.

How was the installation instructions for the Stillen?

Thanks...

 

It only uses the powerduct piece with the rubber seal on it. It's a very small piece so it helps guide the air into the intake box. It's normal at wot like stock. But its much louder at WOT. Improvement is pretty much upper rpms only. Lower doesn't change much.

Installation is a breeze. Takes about 30-45 min taking your time. And no clearance issues.

 

From this site.....it seems like it comes with it's own powerduct.

When at WOT above 3,500 etc, when you said it's louder, does it sound "more throaty"?

 

Controlled conditions? Are you expecting me to test in a vacuum or something Test were done over two days during my drive to and from work (20 mile round trip, stop and go traffic and fairly open highway), same conditions to within 5%, same car, same mods, and datalogged. What else is there?

One opening? Really Tell me where in this pic do you only see one opening?



I see is a huge opening on the driver's side front and side portion of the so-called airbox. If this was truely a sealed box, you wouldn't see the portion of that connects to lower resonator (see the 1" hole at the bottom). All I see is an elaborate heatshield that apparently serves to block some heat on the back side. It is no means an airbox. Clearly you don't own this setup because if you did, you would have seen this.

As for your dyno data, here ya go:

How about for once you post a link showing otherwise. It gets tiresome proving you wrong and then you shooting back with, "well, the information is out there. Do your research."

 

Wow wait a minute? You owned the Stillen Intake? And you did these tests? Where are they? I'd like to see these results.


I only see one opening and it faces the front of the car where it only gets fresh air, not engine heat. (not including the opening for the powerduct).

Ahhhh this just proves to me you have no clue what your talking about. This intake doesn't connect to the resonator. It connects to the intake tube going across the radiator top. LOL!

Those pictures were mine I posted Dave. I have owned it. I clearly know what I am talking about. Unlike yourself.

You proved yourself wrong. I just pointed out where you were wrong again. Others here know the Stillen CAI gains. They have done the research unlike you. All they have to do is search back about 2 years for the info I think it was where all the intakes were tested together.

 

Russ, are you really going going to sit there and lie to me like this? You say that pic is of YOUR Stillen intake. I must beg the question, when have you EVER owned a silver G35? Your 04 was black as is your 05. Next time when you lie to me, at least don't make it so obvious and blantant.

As for the Stillen intake connecting to the lower resonator, it's amazing how wrong you are. Take a look inside your stock airbox and take note of the 1" ID tube sticking up in the bottom of the airbox. That tube is a resonator. The Stillen airbox clearly attaches to this setup for a base support.

As research, I've done mine. Where's yours?

 

LOL sad....This proves you don't know what your talking about and have history on this forum.

I can't even stop laughing! You really do research well.

BrianV G35 is black. I bought his Stillen Intake from him. He also drove my car 1 month prior to me buying it.

You just got owned by these pictures.











If I am wrong about the resonator I am sorry. It has been a year since I had a Stillen Intake so I could be wrong. I don't recall it installing into any resonator. So I can say I am definitely wrong or right. But still, its not pulling hot air out of the resonator. It's not open.

You really have done research?! Really? You just proved how much of a idiot you really are Daveb.

 

Oh and btw. I never lie. It's not in my religion.

When I originally got my G35.

 

My appologies. I did get your prior car confused with Brian's black G. It's a dark day for me getting owned by Russ
