Nice writeup... Good pictures... and excellent work on the conversion.

not to nit pick or anything (i'm here to learn), but u gain 10 whp with the exhaust and another 8 with the test pipes. i haven't really looked into the test pipes cause i was never gonna put them on my car, but most exhaust systems (unless they really sucked) gained about 10 whp on the pre- 07 z's also, so whats so intresting about the results?

In regards to AF ratio: Unchanged with the exhaust, and .75 points leaner with the test pipes.

About the FI option, makes me wonder if it would be easier just to swap the new GTR's engine in there, make more power and probably have more reliability. sure it will cost more, but I think it will be worth it.

Sharif , does it look difficult to do a HR swap on previous models lol. Knowing the Ecu is diff already but the tranny everything else is identical to the 06. i also noticed the clutch feels identical to the 06 but very light compared to the previous models. My 04 was heavy as hell compared to my 06+.

Physically putting this motor and trans in a pre 07 woudl be a snap...but getting the ECU to play nice in the CAN network might be a little trickier.

nit picking again
the 07 basically putting out what the pre 07 would be putting out with intake, plenum spacer and mrev. i kinda get the feeling we aren't gonna get any gains with aftermarket intakes since u didn't gain any power from pulling out the filters. so u won't be able to get over 300whp (dynojet) with bolt ons on the hr either, so i could have saved my money and bought a used 04 and done the inake mods to it and not ahve to wait for any form of fi to come out
all of the above is speculation
i'm just bitter, i want 5 million hp w/ bolt ons only
ps
do u have any pics of the new factory tubular headers, hows the collector look?

hehe...a 245whp stock number is actually "higher" than we usually see on a I/E/H/Spacer setup on the older version engine.
Our new technician, Michael, as an 04 G35 with I/E/H/Plenum and laid down 243whp on our dyno last week.
