I should maybe know this, but I'm not afraid to ask if I dont know something. So, what is an SSV?? I'm new to all of this.

Thanks, is there any other brand that makes one besides kenetix??

 

uh, that would be a NO, that's why Kinetix calls it the SSV.

 

Its the name of a product, not the name of an item.. SSV is made by kinetix.

 

whoa dude, no need for the attitude . It's just a question. but thanks anyway

 

A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY <- that's what the SSV is

 

Thanks Plumpzz

 

A waste of money?? Why??

 

it's 800 bucks and the only thing people can agree on is that it is decent looking. I have seen more dynos showing power loss with it than gains. And those that do show gains with it, usually didn't have a proper tune to compare it to, or are running their car on different dynos.

On top of that, I haven't seen any flow bench testing on or any good R&D material from kinetix that states it's design does anything more than look decent - and IMO, I don't care for the look of it.

 

That dyno plot on the website is a joke. They claim 79 horses out of installing it...nevermind that you have to add FI, tune the crap out of it, and move your rev-limiter up. At stock redline it only makes 33-41 hp more (it's hard to read the last digit on the after graph). Then you throw in the fact that their baseline dyno was 3 months prior to the "gains" dyno and that's not very accurate data. And it doesn't make sense to spend $800+ for the same gains you could get with a $200 plenum spacer.


SSV

 

ssv is all show and no go...but hey if you want to add looks its a piece to do it with but wont help your car go any faster

 

+!

You're better off with a plenum spacer (I would recommend Motordyne Engineering) or a new upper plenum by Crawford. Go to www.motordyneengineering.com and check out the "dyno tab" you'll find some dynos on motordyne's spacer and other plenum mods.

 

blah, blah... i love my ssv,

dyno

243.6 hp
228 tq

on 19's

Stock intake, Nismo exhaust - that is it.

 

mad haters. sometimes u want show AND go. SSV definatley does something. my car feels faster. Its more than the difference i felt w/ test pipes.

 

i know man, they just look @ $ 800, but they don't see that the Crawford will be 500 w/ the FSTB and will look like @SS.

And also how do you boost a spacer? I think it would leak like crazy.

 

SSV ......omg duh it stands for super sayian 5

jesus guys use the search button




lol jk

 

what was your before dyno? doesn't seem at all impressive for $800.00.

 

SSV = upside down @SS

 

This was my first dyno. And I consider it my starting point for my FI setup.


And you are correct it's not too impressive, but I did not loose any hp or tq, instead I think I got some.


We all know how sh**ty our ecu's are. So without tuning most mods will not do anything “IMPRESSIVE " like you said.
