Default 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!

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