Ok I am thinking about replacing my stock maf housing and z-tube with a 3 inch inside diameter intake pipe. It will be one piece and bolt up to the airbox and tb. I am wondering if this mod will be worth it or would I be just wasting my time naturally the car will be returned for it.

My mods are the following revup airbox, z-tube, stock size light weight pulley set, tp, y-pipe, 3inch exhaust and uprev tune. The car is a 2005 G35c 5at, future mods are art pipes, 6spd pumpkin swap and maybe new intake pipe

 

somebody makes a 3inch housing I just dont know who/where to get it. I have the furookie intake which a single 3inch pipe from the throttle body to a K&N filter with integrated MAF slot....no way to use stock airbox with this though.

 

Yeah I want something that bolts to the stock airbox so the plan was to make my own

 

http://www.z1auto.com/ used to sell one but I cannot find it on there website. search around and ask them and I'm sure you can find one.

 

Called they don't sell them anymore

 

well then you might want to start a "WTB" thread in the classifieds

 

for what encase you didn't notice I am going to make`it

 

I''m just saying. the product is already out there...people have it and maybe somebody has one lying around they dont even use. But rock on brah

 

I say you should save your money for mods that actually do something.

Get a 5/16th spacer. That is better than an intake any day. ART pipes are good too.

Spend money where you know it will be a good investment. The mods I mention have been proven to do good for our vehicles, while intakes are still on the iffy side and even said to not do anything. Just thought I'd share.

 

Sorry thought I put that in my mod list, already got a 5/16 spacer

As for the intake, I've been doing more research and looks like the bigger maf housing and intake is good for a few hp after a re-tune. Going to start ordering the materials to make a 3.25 inch od and 3inch id one peice maf and intake pipe that will bolt up to the stock revup airbox.

 

it's the tune, not the intake...

When researching all these magical gains, make sure you are seeing trust-worthy before and after dynos (with tune on each)... if you take a stock G and add a 3" intake with a tune (for example) - any gains you see are like from the tune more so than the intake.

Just a thought.

And FWIW - imo, you're wasting your time... but if you have the time and it makes you happy, have at it

 

can someone let me know the diameter of the oem intake? is it 2.5?

 

Sounds like a cool idea, especially to me since i do not have a z-tube, am a pipe welder and fabricator , and access to a cnc laser and 304L ans 316L stainless piping. One suugestion i would make - use thin wall sanitary tubing if possible. 1/8" wall tubing is way heavier than whats needed. Not only will non z-tube owners have an option, but a nice looking piece of bling in the engine compartment is a+ .

 

take a 3 inch hole saw, cut the opening in the air box bigger. Get a samco intake hose (inner diameter 3.18 inches), get a 3" metal maf adapter, put 3" velocity stack inside air box, and get a 09 maxima throttle body to top it off.

 

^Samco intake sucks, Cobb tube is 100% better
