I tried both - if I shift right at 7200 I can get through in 3rd... 101+ was in 3rd.

After the current project it wont be an issue at all... I'll have plenty of rmp to make in through in 3rd.

 

I do have a modified tq converter, VB and raised rev limit. I used to be FI. I think I'm losing up top because I was tuned on 91oct. I shouldn't be neck and neck with a untuned 5AT 350z with just a intake and exhaust.

I've ran almost the same times he did with just a stillen intake, exhaust and ts reflash 4yrs ago.

I'm having my osiris maps looked at the moment by Shawn to see what can be adjusted.

I was thinking maybe I have too much of a free flowing exhaust for N/A. I have 2.5 test pipes into the MD xyz pipe and resonator which is 3in all the way to the VQ muffler. I could be wrong not enough back pressure maybe?

Well anyway I think the 06 airbox is perfect for any 5at trying to get the most out of their set-up for less than $100.

 

Mike your rev limit is 7200 mine is 7100 I think. Maybe I should raise mine to 7200rpm I think I shifted at 6800 going into fourth.

I have to get used to shifting at redline again I couldn't do that when I was turbo especially with the stillen VB.

Did they tell you what rpm you take your car up to after your upgrade yet?

 

O, wow, I thought u actually went into 4rth, way before 100mph with the new 3.7FD.

 

yeah, I'm at 7200... I plan to take it to 7500, thats why
I'm doing revup rod bolts and oil pump and JWT valve springs... I don’t think JWT or TS are supper encouraging about 7500 but they know it only on occasion for very brief moments, and they didn’t say no - so with what I'm doing I don’t think there will be problems (I hope)... I wouldn’t run on a road course for long periods maxed out though

 

no, but there isnt anything left in 3rd at about 100... until Tusday - mwaaahhaaaaa

 

can't wait to see your results. Did you take any pics of your car under the knife?

This time you may spin the tires lauching like I did when we raced and leave a long mark in front of Shawn's shop like I did.

 

there are some pics in the Crawford Header weld thread... I have others - I'll post everything including pre & post dyno with sound, pics of car during install and final dyno results with impressions... that will all be when everything is finished... and when I have time to compile everything and do a write up.

 

no rush Mike just asking.

 

is the 05 6mt air box the same as the 06 6mt air box

not sure if has been confirmed

 

I think so the answer is somewhere in this thread.

 

I just put the 06 MT airbox in the car this weekend and removed the JWT Pop-charger. Previous to that, I had the 03 OEM airbox. I don't have numbers to prove the difference but low end response is better with the 06 box vs JWT. I also went back to the OEM paper element filter. I'm holding on to one of two K&N panel filters for now but I like the paper and 06 MT airbox already.

 

I like the paper filter also, I'm just planning on changing it out every other oil change with a new one, so flow stays good. i feel like they are relatively cheap, and provide better filtering than the K&N, which I've been using on various cars since 97

 

That was my thought as well. Getting the OEM paper element for $11 and some change is the better option for me. Like you, I'll change it out every 10K miles or 6 months. I had two K&N panels so I'll hold on to one for now and sell the other.

 

After FINALLY putting on my crawford V5, the throttle response and overall gains are great!

I plan on putting in the stock 03 intake box on and see how that compares to the stillen I have now.

Hopefully, I'll have another custom type v-stack to report on later. But I want to drive around with the oem box for a while to see if it helps the low end.
