Have to also put in my vote for performancenissanparts.com. I've ordered my Z-Tube for $75 and my pop charger for $120. I IMed with Jason during the transaction (performancenismo) and he's very knowledgable, extremely friendly, and super helpful. He posts his work number on the FA site.

 

JWT Pop Charger is $115 @ http://350zmotorsports.com/intake.html


"SUCCESS" only comes before "WORK" in the Dictionary!

 

How easy is it to install the JWT Pop Charger? Is it like installing any other normal CAI? How long did it take you guys?

The pop charger looks like it is opened to the engine compartment - it looks like it would be sucking hot air?
Can any clarify for me???
I was thinking of going Z tube and K & N filter in the stock air box. The stock air box appears to draw cold air from outside in front of the hood. Am I wrong???

 

The POP-Charger for the "G" is not opened to the engine compartment, but to the stock air scoop that sits in the middle of the frame above the radiator. This currently exits into the stock air box, and is changed to exit into the POP-Charger. They use rubber edging on both the POP-Charger and the scoop to keep the hot air out.

It took me less than 2 hours total to install the Z-tube AND pop charger. A lot of the time was trying to get the edge trim onto the heat shield and the air scoop. Wear gloves or you may cut yourself of the heatshield. I figured out you need to open up the trim a bit with a flat screwdriver before fitting it onto the heatshield, but if you open it too much then it won't stay on the heatshield and you need pliers to crimp it back down a bit.

Yes, putting that rubber edgeing stuff on took more time than installing the darn thing. I figured out the screwdriver trick also, but what a pain. Worth it though, the sound alone at WOT is worth the price of admission.

Ordered my PopCharger from Avalon Racing yesterday. Talked to Paul and he verified that the G35 version is not listed on the site. He said to order the 350Z version and in the comments section state that you need one for the G35. The G35 has a different heat shield than the Z. It was $100 shipped but he said that they were going to be raising the price soon because they can't keep em in stock. Their website is www.avalonracing.net. Can't wait to get it and install it with my Z tube.

If the pop charger draws air from the stock scoop above the radiator, why is it any better than stock set-up or simply putting a K & N filter in stock air box?????????

 

It's really not (in terms of power gains); however, it may give you more of the infamous "intake roar" a drop in K&N wont (with all that OEM clutter).
