I had removed the JWT Pop Charger from my Maxima several months ago and ran across it in my garage a last week. I checked the bolt pattern to the G35's MAS and guess what... they're the same. So, needless to say, I decided to wrench on the car some tonight. I removed the factory airbox along with my K&N panel filter and installed the Pop Charger. I also did some modifications to the plastic cover behind the bumper cover. I bought a black PVC drain from Home Depot along with a 3" 90degree bend piece of black PVC and whipped out the dremel. I cut the center out of the drain to make it just an open cylinder with a lip on the outside. Then I cut a hole in the black plastic behind the driver's side grill insert on the coupe. I mounted the hole (no pun intended) and fit the 90deg bend on the back side via three rivets. I also added a piece of plastic to help deflect more air into the inlet. I would think that this would definitely improve the air temperature under my hood, especially in the vicinity of the air filter. I buttoned her up and took a spin. It didn't make a real noticable change on my butt dyno, but I did notice an audible change. The car definitely has more of a growl now which is especially noticable at lower rpm's under heavy loads. I don't hear any of the annoying sucking noise associated with cone type filters. It also has a more raw sound at high rpms, which I'll be used to in a couple of days. So, I guess I'd consider my time well spent. I'm looking forward to heading off to the drag strip again to quantify my results. I have attached some pics for those of you who are interested.

If you put your original horizontal air scoop back, the PopCharger
woulg get even more cold air.

if you get the Z tube now the growl sound will be amazing!

 

I don't think the horizontal tube does anything. I believe that it's in a low pressure area that is not so much feeding the air box air, but more providing the airbox a cool location to suck from. Hence, I don't believe adding it back on will help me any at all. Plus IMO, it looks silly without the airbox attached. I did call Stillen to see if they would just sell the housing that comes with their intake, but they said no.

Also, I am still waiting for my local shop to install a cold air intake on a 350Z who doesn't want his stock tube. Then I can swipe one for free.

Does anyone have pics of the new heat box for the JWT pop charger, the one that looks like the Stillen Air Box?
