What about the rods? The pistons aren't taht mutch of interest... either you upgrade to significant higher or lower CR pistons.

 

I am under the impression that the rods are a bit stronger, but we have it coming in so we can check it out....

 

We are getting the rods in soon...

then we will know

 

wow, how did you get these parts so quick.

Are these considered repair parts or performance parts that can be sold by dealers?

 

They are Factory OEM Parts...

I am trying to figure out which parts are going to get the most power cost effectively out of the non 2005 Track 350z's...

I think the part that is going to work best for NA is the lower intake plenum...

I think a short block will be a great easy upgrade for a turbo set up... using the 05 short block with the rest of the foctory components from the persons other motor...

 

Hey Jason, do you have a price yet on the 05' Track lower intake plenum???

 

What about the crank pulley. Is it identical?

sorry if it was answered already

 

Are the ring lands maybe a bit lower on the piston?

THe picture doesnt show much of except where everything goes... picture is the same for both years... just putting it in for fun..

 

Crank pulley is the same on all 2005 models including track...

The CRANKSHAFT its self is different on the 2005 Track / 35th Anniversary 6MT.

Our web site is fully updated with ALL of the 2005 track model engine parts. Search 2005 TRACK and they will all come up...

I will have a factory piston in on Monday / Tuesday and then I will be able to compare for sure every difference.

I should have ordered a factory piston before when I ordered the 2005... My OE piston is all burnt up and half melted :P

 

Hey Jason, what is different about the 05 track crankshaft?

 

dont know yet... havent gotten one in my hands...

:-/

I may be needing to order one next week... well see...

 

Nice work. Keep us in the loop about the lower plenum. Might just make a economical way for the majority of us with the regular motors to get some added power. And it's an OEM part too.

 

Thats the plan!

I cant wait till tomorrow. I really hope we get it in tomorrow..!

 

cool keep is updated. I wonder why they changed the crank?

 

completely off topic- but silo, are you the one from the mr2 boards that has traveled over to visit for our SE meets?

 

whats the price on that lower plenum....didn't see it listed in your original post...unless i overlooked it...thanks

 

Here is a link to the actual part...

the price is not bad! has anyone tried just the lower plenum to see what gains could be had...also, what is the difference between the two?
