Now as for the AFR we were all a bit surprised. More so the Mech's and Tuner that is (I love my cars but only have very basic understanding of some things). The two main conclusions they came to and I would agree are: 1-Nissan have decided to run our cars much richer than the US/Japan Spec cars due to our generally lower grade fuel. This seems to be the case with most JP cars as we seem to have a lower rated HP rating on a lot of cars. I personally have always run BP Ultimate and have had my best results from that fuel. 2-Their O2 sensor might have been off as well (think thats what gets the AFR). As this was just a PWR run there was no REAL calibration done. It was just for a before and after comparison. As for a tune I'm definitely in for an ECU of some sort. Haltech are meant to be in the process of doing a dedicated one for the 370Z like they did with the 350Z. If we are generally running that rich there is some great room for improvement. On that note, when your tail pipe is getting blackish, that is generally from a car running rich yes?

Thanks for the compliment Stu. Anyone with questions please fire away as there a few of us now that have the intakes and will be getting the exhausts as well.

As for costs I do have all that down. As long as the other guys are ok with it, I have no problems letting people know what I paid. That way people can get an idea of what to expect. Also comes down to what the exchange rate is at the time.

Heads UP to check this...
Just wanted to give a little heads up to the other guys that have this installed and also who plan to get it done. After going for spirited drive yesterday with my dealer (crazy man LOL). I noticed a slight knocking noise that wasn't there before.
I'm not sure what part this is, but on the Passenger side it was a bit loose, so all I did was loosen the Hose clamp and push it in a bit more and re-tighten. The driver side was fine. Once i re-tightened the knocking noise was gone. Just something very easy that could be missed and hopefully any other issues that might arrise we can sort out.

Youtube.
Hey Guys,
Just took the car for a quick spin around the block and got a little video. It's only from a Point & Camera, but it does give an idea of the sound for the Intakes. It was done with the windows down and 2nd gear. Will try for a better effort later. You will need to turn up your volume a bit though LOL.

Well Done on doing the install and getting the review to us. However I dont see that these intakes are worth the $$$ considering you only get the gains over 6500rpm and you are actually losing torque in the lower rev range and a fair amount between 1500 and 2000rpm.
I also think that its another story once the bonnet is closed and you dont have a big fan blowing air directly in the engine bay. I think the forced air system that Modshack has made is the way to go, but also may work very well in combination with the G'3 or the new R2C intakes which I hope bring some good results. |

Also if you look at the graph again, the After run starts earlier on the graph. It's just a calibration thing thats all. So it's pretty much line ball till about 5200 (TQ) and the Stillen's keep it up for longer (was also mentioned in this same thread that i posted in the Intake/Exhaust section). Also why is that people go on about Bonnet Up/Down. I can understand it when say the bumper is off as thats where the PODS are. To be honest those fans are not going to push the amount of air the car will see when you're doing 5k rpm, in 4th gear. Will also have to have another look at Modshacks site again. I did have a quick look a while ago, but I though the Forced air mod wasn't going to be as beneficial due to where the PODS are with the Stillen's. Edit - Added larger dyno sheet, so it's easier to see results/compare.

Hey AH370Z, is this the MOD from modshack you are talikng about. I cant see how that would help the G3's though. It looks like it would help the Stock Intakes or something like the R2C's.
The Stillens are mount dead centre in front of the radiator, so we get direct airflow from the front spoiler.

The A/F ratio is constantly adjusted by the ECU for engine load, speed, ambient air temp, etc. Yes 10:1 is very rich but its perfectly safe and kind of normal for a factory tune. A well managed aftermarket ECU like a Motec or the new Haltec will be able to keep the A/F in a slightly leaner range and make more power safely. The enemy to a lean A/F ratio is pre detonation, so going too lean is not a good idea.
