Ordered UpRev's Osiris Standard today. Stillen 7AT cooler and new K&N air filters already shipped. Motordyne has billed for the Manifold, but I haven't seen any email from them on shipping yet.

Installed Torque on my phone, w/ random bluetooth OBDII adapter ordered from Amazon. Neat app, since I already have a mount for my Android phone set up permanently in the Cubby area for GPS Nav. A lot of basic PIDs (e.g. fuel trims, O2s, coolant temp, rpm, etc) work out of the box, the gauge display options are nice. There are a number of useful PIDs my other dedicated handheld units can sense on our car that it doesn't know about though (e.g. Ambient Air Temp, Transmission Fluid Temp, etc).

This comes down to a bunch of the PIDs being proprietary Nissan secrets that they sell to scantool mfgs Still digging around the internet for some site that might have stolen or reverse engineered a list (since Torque does let you input custom PID specs). Worst case I may look into sniffing the protocol and reverse engineering the PIDs.

Motordyne M370 Intake Manifold Installed today. Install was a breeze, no point in a DIY really. They shipped me either one hose too short, or one too few hoses (either would have made it work), but I had some 3/8" ID hose here anyways, so I just cut some of my own. They also sent me a free Motordyne T-shirt, so it's all good

I will note one thing: if you don't have a bottle of Throttle Body Cleaner laying around, pick one up before you install this. You'll have the TBs off the manifold and it's an excellent opportunity to clean out any accumulated gunk with access to both sides of the throttle plates.



Took it for a short test lap around the neighborhood to make sure nothing was leaking, falling off, or throwing codes. All seems well. Subjectively, feels like I gained a little torque / responsiveness in the low-mid rpm ranges, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Nice job Motordyne

In for the info. I'm thinking of installing

Right on wstar. On your PCV hose, it should be routed under the manifold instead of the long way around.

Glad to hear you are happy with the results.

wstar

Really? Is there room under there (I assume you mean under the center)? Or did you just mean going under that little manifold tab and the intake baffle, but still taking the same basic route? I was looking at this pic to try to figure out what was meant, seemed like it was routed roughly like I did mine:



Either way, I think I'm going to stick with the current routing, because now I want to slip an oil catch can into that line we're talking about (around vs under). I had considered doing this earlier on, but was put off by the fact that our car needed two separate cans, and I wasn't sure how much oil was flowing through the PCV system anyways. Now I've seen the oil slick in those PCV lines, and conveniently with the M370 tee-ing the 2x PCV lines together, I've now got a single line to insert a single can into it.

Yes. All you need is to put it under the tab next to the throttle body.

wstar

Yeah, I did do that earlier today to clean up the routing in the front (went under the tab + that little curved intake baffle box. Sorry I'm still confused on your "Yes" though: do you mean you guys are intending that the hose run directly under the manifold itself (i.e. just above and parallel with the passenger side fuel rail, inside from the valve covers?).

In any case, like I said I'm already off the beaten path now, as I'm going to run that line way off on the passenger side to mount an oil catch can in the unused battery compartment. Just curious for mine and others' future reference.
