I've read many threads about how the popcharger is one of the most preferred intakes on the market, but I've also read a few threads about how it will make your car stall after driving at high speeds or doing a few spirited runs.

Does this really happen that often to anybody that has a popcharger? And why exactly does this happen? Any way to fix the problem?

 

install it properly, give it a few days for your ecu to adjust and you wont have this problem, ive gotten going 140mph and thrown it into neutral with no stall.

 

i'd say dont do it.
just one experience stalling is more than enough. is there ever a good time to do so? i mean, barely could brake or steer. stuck blocking lanes during rush hour for me. sucked.
loved the sound and fury, but hell no, not again. punch holes in your airbox and do a K&N

 

Do it! This is one of the cheapest and best upgrades for your vehicle. I've been running mine for 2.5 years and not a single problem. Keep it clean and install it properly and you wonn't have any issues. Nexx is right....just let the ECU adjust after the first install. No worries after that.

 

I've stalled at least 15-20 times, why I haven't taken it out is beyond me.

 

So to avoid a stall I should make sure I disconnect the battery at least 30 min when I install it to reset the ECU?

 

Does this battery trick really work? What is the exact procedure in doing this? Or do you just simply disconnect the bettery while you install the popcharger?

 

From what I've read, you just disconnect the negative terminal for at least 30 minutes. I was going to wait to buy one along with a spacer, but changed my mind and ordered one tonight.

 

You have to disconnnect for 24 hours per the Nissan service manual. Or you can do the ECU reset per Technosquare instructions.

 

Where in the manual does it say this? And where can I find the Technosquare instructions?

 

The pop charger is the most popular 350Z intake, so its obvious that members will have more problems then with other intakes.

 

I've never had that problem and I drive VERY spirited all the time. I don't know what would cause the problem.

Add me to the list of people who'd like to see the Technosquare instructions. I just ordered the popcharger so I'd like to know about any possible "gotchas."

Does anyone have the popcharger with a AT Z? I would think it's next to impossible to have the stalling problem as much ... I'll be getting my popcharger in less than a week.

 

I've got an AT, and ordered the JWT from Performance Nissan. Should be here in a week or so. I'll let you know.

 

Thank you. Just drop a PM.
