Yes, this is my first post on the forum, but have been reading them for a while for useful imput from everyone on here. It has been great to see the amount of Z enthusiasts who post valuable information on what to do \ not do.

However, I have a few questions regarding a few upgrades.

Can the Z possibily be equipped with pullies, such as unorthodox racing pullies for extra horses and torque? If you have somehow done it, can I get an outcome? Any type of pully replacement would be nice as well.

The Kenetix Plenum Intake, or the SSV intake -- are they worth the money? Any information on how they operate \ fit would be nice as well. Do they work well with Nismo parts, such as an intake if I get a plenum? I thought Nismo and Kenetix go hand in hand.

I currently own a Daytona Blue 350Z Touring Edition. Not many mods done on it yet because I am broke right now for money. But I should be getting a paycheck soon, and that will be wasted right away on my Z. I have plans to go procharger C2 with this one.

My old car was a crappy silver 626, which I had experimented on for a while with WeaponR, Magnaflow, and small GReddy upgrades under the hood and exhaust. It was a way to get into the race scene without killing the paycheck. So this is my next big step, and I plan to be a Z owner for the rest of my lifetime.

I also live near Palm Beach Performance, which is a 350Z specialization shop. So no, the parts installation will not be a problem.

 

Crank pulley only one that will help, easy install helps my tq down low and rev faster.The plenum is a bid debate, I have the Crawford and happy with it.You have an expensive mod machine in your hands now nothing is cheap.Do some searches that will help you the most.

 

No more imput from different people?

 

If your light on cash plenum spacers are another option to consider. There are numbers ones on out there like AAM, Motordyne, and now Skunk2. They will cost must less and get you similar gians. Full plenums like Crawfords and Kinetix don't really seam worth it IMO.

 

yo...check out feb issue of super street mag. it has an article on the skunk2 plenum; dyno shows +10whp for 350z/g35. good luck.

 

We offer all the parts you are looking for.

From what we know on our personal 350Zs, the pulley is a good upgrade, we've all had them installed at one point, and liked the outcome. No negative things to say about the UR pulley/pulley kits... The engine revs a bit faster, and you do notice the increased response.

As for plenums and spacers, this is a mod that can make a noticeable difference as well. We deal primarily with Crawford, APS, and Motordyne, and all are very good sellers, and all seem to work fairly well. If you don't want to change strut bars, go with the motordyne spacer kit, if you don't mind changing out the strut bar, go with APS or crawford, both are very nice upgrades, just are a bit more costly.

when ever you think of buying an n/a part, put that money into the piggy bank and soon enough you will have the ati kit. a few hp here and there from n/a mods will go to shame once you go f/i. in other words, don't spend the money twice if you already have a plan. alot of n/a mods will obviously help the ati, but smaller pullies will not, only lightened ones will. look in the classified section and you can usually get a good price on used f/i.

 

Thank you all a lot. I have been writting down and doing homework on mixing and matching parts, and much this imput, I have been more effecient in deciding what I want to put under the hood.

And to Tony --
I've already bookmarked you guys for my Z needs.

 

dont forget to check out the South Florida Z Car Club. www.sfzcc.com

great group and they can all help you with choosing what mods you want and even installations.

 

Indeed. I'll be talking to Mike about the yearly payments and I'll be set. I live 10 minutes away from the shop. Isn't the next meet in Miami?
