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

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.

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.

Should have asked if we get to keep our engine covers

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.

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.
looking forward to a Dyno.
