Review: Motordyne M370 Manifold w/ Comparisons

Good to hear it's working out very everyone! A tune is definite to really get those mid-range numbers and to get some of the top end back.

Why modify the HR350 manifold and not the OEM 370 intake manifold?
R we saying the 350Z manifold is much better than the 370Z? Just asking out curiosity.

The runners on the 370Z manifold have longer runners which is where the air is shoveled into the engine. Longer runners=higher peak HP, and in the car game, peak HP is the name of the game, no matter how unusable it may be.
So the 350Z HR's manifold has shorter runners losing peak HP by 2-4HP, BUT the total area under the curve is increased dramatically.

I personally make a 350Z HR manifold conversion and what is being done is redrilling 4 holes to make it align to the 370Z, THEN adding a top plate to add pressure because you cannot bolt up the modified manifold... (Sounds a bit easier that it really is)

Cutting a 370Z manifold with a hot knife then going about modifying would take so much R&D work and time and effort, you might as well mold a new one of out plastic, lol

Anyone got a 3d printer?

made a blitz blow off valve with a rapid prototyper in college. punctional piston and all

picture does this piece no justice

It looks like a bar of soap, I would definitely rock it in my shower.

But seriously, it looks bad @$$.

Got that part backwards, just so you know.

The HR runners are much longer, giving them a lower resonant frequency and thus tuning them to lower RPM.

The VHR runners are shorter and fatter, tuned for high end peak HP for dat marketing, yo.
