if you had an aftermarket standalone like the F-con Vpro or maybe even the Utec and EU then you could do twin throttle bodies i think.

 

Intresting please explain more VERY INTRESTED!!!!

 

You just summed up the Sport Compact market! There are good products out there, but most of the Sport Compact scene is full of crud!!!

 

I dont know everything but maybe phunk or Sharif will chim in. I know you can run duel MAF or MAP sensors and im guessing you would have to switch to throttle by wire but you could do it that way.

If you need a NA Z in San Diego...I'm still NA (for now).

I was also always wondering why no one ever relocated the TB, obviously if this happend there would need to be a new intake pipe as well, but what's another $50-100 added to a (guessing) $700 IM?

P.S. i was wondering if you got your exhaust design from me Tim

 

there's more to it than just getting a new intake pipe

 

TIM-MAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful piece of work this manifold is...
Anyway I was off line for a few days and I see that the my350Z forumites for the ADD bunch that they are , have already switched topics from the new SFR manifold to a possibility of running multiple throttle bodies. This is my delayed responce. I am in love with this thing already.

 

Yes, but the real question is. . . will I be able to keep my stock strut bar!!

 

I thought we covered this:

 

It was a joke. It was a reference to all of those guys who care more about appearance than performance. Looks like an interesting design. Kinetix tried that route too and eventually went with the SSV. Can't wait to see some dyno #'s. I'd love to hear more about the inside, which was mentioned earlier. I was wondering what was done to address the sharp corner that the air has to go around to get to the one bank of runners.

 

ah.....now I get it

Should have asked if we get to keep our engine covers

 

Oh yeah, good one.

 

Sorry guys.I was away yesterday afternoon.The sharp corner where the TB pipe connects to the plenum is going to be changed.We also added a couple plates inside so the air does not hit a "wall".If fact the flat spot on the outside of the intake where the air enters from actually has a plate welded in there so it is not flat on the inside.It is curved in two directions to divert the air to each side of the plenum.

 

now that sounds good but is it possible to see some pics of this done, oh yeah put me on the list cause i definetly want one of these.

 

Stock plenum.Yesterday was with the stock plenum too.

Has the prototype plenum been dynoed and did it make gains?

 

No dyno yet.In the next week or so we will get it on my car and get it on the dyno.

If you are looking for a local N/A Z with Nismo cams to see how complementary this manifold is with them, PM me. I also have JWT intake, Kinetix plenum (and the stock one on a shelf) and Nismo exhaust. These plenum mods seem to really come to life when used with other mods. It could be an interesting comparison.

 

Nice work Tim looking forward to a Dyno.
