My testing was FI. After lsdunique posts NA numbers you can get an idea.

I think your A/F reading after all of that will be in the 15:1 ratio...you'll see gains, but you'll detonate too. Just my $.02

When lsdunique gets the NA numbers, should be able to give you A/F.

he did mention that he was going to get the TS reflash so a/f should not e an issue as fuel map will be adjusted. i say as a temp fix if you need to dyno before sending to TS is get a wide band a/f guage and a fuel pressure regulator.

we had a small delay due to a fedex shipping mishap, which has postponed us a couple days, so we hope to have NA numbers first thing next week.

sorry for the delays!!

So not a single run on an N/A engine as of yet? That seems strange. I also have not yet seen anyone deny that this intake (as shown) won't lose low end torque.

Maybe you could put some inserts in there or something so the N/A folks that want the look without the sacrifice can still have the option. It does look pretty damn hot!

to bad seems like just for marketing they have to make sure they dont loose any torque. Even loosing alittle down low would really make the car much faster in aceleration because once your in juicy powerband your there. Even a good driving on track and street woudnt be slowed by slight low end loss.

I vote we close this thread I have already read through 16 pages and I love the pics, etc... but it is pretty much at a dead end wait for NA now.
I vote we let Kinetix open a new thread titled "NA results are finally done for our new IM" and assume everyone is waiting.

yeh they said a lot of things also....

like they would have the NA numbers up between Wed. or Thur., somehow, i dont think its very hard to find a donor 350z and strap it to a dyno. i mean come on, i would let them use my ride for testing, who wouldnt? there i can only assume their design doesn;t in fact make much more HP than a upper plenum replacement or that with this I/M, it would require the tuner to do cams, ECU retune or something of that nature.

still, if and when this becomes available, ill buy it just because it looks bad azz. also gotta keep in mind that kinetix is a 5 person company and whatever R/D they do probably takes 8times longer than say, crawford. yet i dont think crawford is much bigger- just more experienced.

and your comment is.....

think about it, u want the thread closed but everytime somebody posts with a stupid comment, like yours for instance, it goes right back to the top.
in your case, the best reply you could have posted would have been no reply at all.

john

btw: love your ride.
