last night i have my friend to install Kinetix SSV manifold and HKS hi-power catback exhaust to my 06 G since he owns a shop and i definately could tell the difference in sounds...but not the performance wise...i don't feel that much power...than i sent almost $2500 dollars already...hmm... how much hp should i have gained with those mods. oh right now i have jwt popcharger, ztube also.

 

try to get it on a dyno if you can. it can only tell you how much power you're making now. you'll need a baseline to see what you started at. you can compare to average numbers of other baselines. since you only have breathing mods i doubt you're making that much power to the wheels, you may have even lost some power down low. the mrev+ would be the best mod for proven gains, but i don't know if it will work with the kinetix ssv you have now.

 

Everyone knows the Kinetix SSV is a joke. You most likely even LOST power with that thing. Get rid of it, and get yourself MREV2 and a 5/16 spacer. Now that's proven power.

 

maybe he just wanted bling hp...did you get some cool stickers???

 

if you did your research you would have known that the ssv is known to make n/a engines lose power and is only good for those that have gone f/i...

 

+1.

 

Yeah, the kinetix manifold on a NA engine is said to make no gains, but the people that have said this i dont think had a air/fuel controler or any type of piggy back system.

With that much airflow dirrectly into the engine you are probably going to be running extremely lean. I would recommend to either get a piggy back system or a airflow controler (apexi S-AFCII is what i have) to manage the air and fuel and then i think you will see some gains.

The kinetix manifold has to much direct air to the engine so i think thats why people see negative gains because the enigne doesnt function properly it has to much air and not enough fuel. If you get a piggy back system of some kind and have it tuned at a shop (they tune it on a dyno) you will see gains then i believe. It will manage how much air is taken into the engine and how much fuel is spit in as well.

 

heehee, good to know this info, i was actually gunna purchase the ssv but now im not!!! no plans for FI

i love my jwt popcharger, ztube, and fuji exhaust sound anyhoo

 

ps- any pics??? :-D

 

Pics!!

 

yeh..+2 for pics..even though you lost power ( ) it still looks cool!

 

word... waste of money

 

complete waste unless you are F/I

 

how much is the ssv? isnt it like a grand or something? so many things i could buy with a grand..okay maybe not that much lol..but i could get something cheaper/more useful than the ssv

 

yeah its just under a grand unless you get ripped off lol


well ripped off again
