How about the NA numbers and cover pics before any GB talk!

PM sent Robert.

I think 35ounces has a good point. I think that NA numbers and pix of the new cover will definitely help to raise interest in this. Anyway, let me know what you want to do and how you want to do it!!

Does the manifold retain the stock hookups for brake booster, PCV, evap, etc?

Yes! I literally removed the V4 and lower intake and installed new intake for dynoing and testing. While I have not connected stock hookups in this pic, I am sure you can see where they go. I don't believe Kinetix has relocated. I think they have also added an additional plugged hookup for individual use (i.e boost or NOS) if desired. Similar to what is on front passenger side of OEM Plenum. Hope the pic helps?

that is the result of the shape of the ignition timing table and it being at the edge of the knock feedback zone.

In NA applications that IM design probably isn't much of a concern, however for FI cars, I'd be asking HOW they equally distributed air to all the cylinders.

Even on NA factory manifolds of VQ30/VQ35s, Nissan always massaged the farthest intake runners plenum to accelerate air velocity to feed the cylinders runners farthest from the throttle-body. Such as on this VQ30 where you can see the throttle-body entrance on the lower RIGHT and how the plenum is "squished" down going to the lower LEFT:

Will go back in and do some major stuff once I receive the finished product. The purpose was to just switch from V4 to the new intake and post numbers. While I am waiting, new plugs have been installed, 380 injectors installed and ECU re-flashed by TS for larger injectors. As soon as I receive the final product, will put it back up on the dyno, post numbers and pics.
only 380cc injectors? Must be running a pretty high base FP considering they would be maxed out at the power you are making right now if the base FP was kept stock. Good luck with it all, cams would put you over the 400whp mark for sure. What size blower pulley are you running? Im assuming the one provided with the kit looking at your before numbers.

Is there any way we will be able to order one in the future with extra vacuum ports so we can run different accessories off different ports (i.e. boost controller, boost gauge, blow-off valve, etc)???

yes, in the future you will be able to add extra ports.

It will currently come with 1 extra 1/8" npt port already for gauges, etc.

There should be NA numbers by around Wed of next week as well as pix of the production polished IM and pix of the new engine cover. I am talking with ISD (Robert) about details of the GB on this IM as well as several other products from Kinetix. Keep an eye out here and in the GB forums about a GB for several of Kinetix's products!!
