[Official] "Which intake should I buy for my Z?" thread.

It wasn't, but putting it back on definitely requires two people if you want a smooth reinstallation. It helps to jack to car up to get the bottom screws out too.

A second person does make it much easier, but jacking the car up to access the lower bolts is unnecessary... They are all easily accessible.

ANyone know If Stillen is now doing Dry Filters over K&N Oil.

No I do not know if Stillen is...but you can buy Amsoil Nano Filter (dry). You will need to know the dimensons of the Stillen to crossreference to Amsoil. Amsoil Dry is the way to go if you want the best in filtration. Oiled will give a few more in HP it's a trade off and a lot of oil heads know dry is the way for clean oil when doing a UOA (Used Oil Analysis).

Dead thread resurrected after being 18 months dormant. This probably happens around here all the time. Don't get me wrong, still a valid topic especially for those with newer Z's.

BTW: Check out the R&D thread on the new intake design -- elliptical velocity stack within airbox/resonance chamber.

Very, very promising design! Not just tube + filter -- development is underway!

lemon-fresh · 08-28-2012, 05:08 PM

link?

ZForce · 08-29-2012, 07:31 PM

Maybe referring to this thread.

Akuma Motorports 370z Intake

Jordo! · 08-30-2012, 12:22 AM

Sorry, here --> Interest is New Intake Design? Looking for a test car! (yes, dumb typo in title...)

Again, this is only just in R&D stages, so limited updates as of yet. Details in thread.

lemon-fresh · 08-30-2012, 11:46 AM

very interesting, really hope the prototype shows promise.

interesting, subd.

Things I would be looking for:

air flow
gains
heat soak
sound
throttle response
ease of filter maintenance
hydrolock
cost

Is it plug n play ? or tune required?

Goal is to achieve all of things while keeping costs at or below Stillen G3's, but we'll have to wait and see.

These guys seem to know their onions on fluid dynamics and make beautiful CNC stuff (see link in the thread to pics of their FR-S intake in development), so I think it is very, very promising.

Goal is also plug and play, no tuning required, but of course, may serve to optimize gains as with any other bolt-on.

I'm stressing the importance of rigorous dyno testing too -- I want to see something developed for the community (and of course for me!) that clearly works as advertised, and offers high bang for the buck.

ok im not really feeling like removing the bumber since its a brand new car and i just dont wanna touch it get everything all loose and misaligned. so if i go the short ram route which intake is the best in terms of hp gains?

lemon-fresh · 08-31-2012, 10:32 AM
