Ive heard you will lose hp with this if you not boosted or without a tune.

 

Is that the SSV or the Velocity Manifold?


OP, I asked a G35 member on my350z about the Velocity manifold a while ago. This is one of the PMs he sent me:
One also has to consider that the Kinetix heat soaks far less than the stock plenum.

Hope it helps.

Do you have a rev-up, or a DE?

 

SSV is not worth the cash on a NA vehicle.

 

So would you recommend a 5/16 plenum spacer over an intake manifold like this for a small hp gain?

 

^ probably considering you can buy almost 4 plenum spacers for one of these. I would think these would be more looks/FI applications

 

Well yeah plenum spacer should be better for the price for sure. I'm just curious about some more info on the intake manifold. Is it really that useless?

 

google/searching is your friend sir

 

jk it's late and I'm lazy

 

Haha if my memory serves me right, the internet says it's about 12-14hp with the kinetix and around 10-12 with the 5/16. So minimal improvements depending on application

 

These were both somewhat helpful.

A V+ isn't a the Velocity Manifold.

Btw, don't get G37 19s, they looks like crap on the older sedans and they'll make you slower!

 

I was thinking buy the V+plumum along with a spacer. How is yours working out for you so far?

 

I hope everyone downtalking the SSV on an NA has had experience. From stock + Injen CAI, SSV V1, Test Pipes, Tune I gained 18 hp peak and 60 hp in the midrange. I was driving an entirely new car.

The SSV is a great upgrade NA or FI. First hand experience.

 

You're the first member I have seen in 4 years here post gains with the SSV. I have a couple of friends local that have installed it then dyno'ed their cars for a reflash of their Osiris and it has lost power both times. I would love to see your dyno chart, I'm very skeptical about the 60hp # with just the mods listed. Not saying it didn't happen, I just need visual proof to verify it. The 18hp is believable, but that has been achieved by many on here with test pipes and a tune. I don't think the SSV had anything to do with those numbers.

So I stand by my statement..............
