What's Inside this Engine? (Pics)
 

Hey guys I'm trying to figure out for sure what the previous owner did to my Z as far as upgrades go. Obviously from the pic there is a Kinetix engine cover in there and I'm not 100% sure if there is a Popcharger or K&N...can anyone look at the pics and tell me what's what? I'd like to know what I have in here and what it all does (I'm new to Zs ...drove a Jeep for 10 years). Thanks!

The previous owner also appears to have installed Stoptech brakes...any idea which model and how much these are worth? I'm thinking about selling them because I don't track the car...

Thanks again

You have some nice mods there. That's a Kinetix intake plenum (manifold), the stock plenum on the 350Z doesn't allow enough air to the front cylinders and your Kinetix solves that problem. I'm not for sure if that's a pop-charger. I don't have one of those, but most people do. You also have a carbon fiber gt-spec strut bar and Stoptech brakes. I can't tell if you have the rear brakes done though but they are worth some money, to me anyways. I would keep them if I were you. You don't have to track the car to have those brakes. I want the exact same brakes for my car and I never track my Z. They are good for street use too. Post more pics of your car and welcome!

Looks like a pop charger.

sell the brakes to me :)

Yes, it's definitely a Popcharger. Also, here's a Stoptech price to give you an idea.

Wow you found a nicely modded Z... Add to it! Don't subtract from it.

Need better pics of the brakes to tell which model they are...

Keep the brakes my friend

nice find

Def keep the brakes and yes you do have what is called a Kinetix upper plenum(do keep) and a cf strut bar(do keep).

That's what i thought. I do remember his pictures. Thanks for saving my time kwame :thumbup:

those are all good mods. Keep them and enjoy the Z.
