Just got my flange in the mail from NWP. As someone who has been a manufacturer and customer in the Nissan domain for over 10 years now, I can say that this is a pretty well put together kit. Nice job, guys!

I'll see if I can bolt this up before the weekend and do some datalogging. I've got a 75mm TB that I'm modifying the throttle shaft on, and I've got some connectors that I'll use to make my own wiring adapter. Car is 05 revup with Nismo headers, stock cats, and Nismo S-tune exhaust... plus uprev.

 

It's because the basics of the principle imply no frictional losses. The real thing isn't a lossless system. Pressure drop occurs across obstructions in the flow path. It's a bigger deal with more viscous fluids like water, but pressure drop also occurs to the skin friction on the walls of the pipe. It's a drop in pressure lost to friction, and not to flow velocity. All else being equal, if the pipe diameter were to return to the same size prior to some loss, the pressure would still be less.

 

Here's my review: https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exha...dy-review.html

 

Thanks for the thorough review. Now we just need someone to start producing a good plenum.

 

I'm really thinking about getting a Kinetic SSV or w hat ever it's called and modding it

 

just realized they are charging $75 for the wire adapter. its only 290 with out it.

i think 75 is a little steep.

 

They aren't really making money on the other stuff gotta make somewhere and honestly the overall price is still cheap for the gains

 

the list price for the vendor they get them from is $80

 

Yea 75 is a awesome deal for the adaptor wire. I paid 100 a year ago when I did this mod and had to wait 2 weeks for it cause at the time it wasn't off the shelf

 

Even paying $100 for the wiring I only have $240 in everything since I slotted my holes instead of using a adaptor plate

 

What are you running for an intake now?

 

im still waiting for a dyno to pop up from a third party to comfirm the gains. dont wanna pay 400 for 3hp.

 

The 4" I built

 

Denchan has this mod too..he hasn't dyno'd yet but he DID trap his highest ever with it. It's the newer version, the Kinetix Velocity Manifold.

He is also cammed (JWT S1).

 

2bad stock maf?

also is it 4" from TB down or 3" to 4"

 

Stock sensor. I made a maf flange and welded it on the 4" pipe. It's 4" from tb to filter.

 

Cannon like stuff you guys are getting into....awesome

 

The girth...oh what mighty girth. No homo you ***z!

 

Here is the dyno chart Nwp posted. As far as peak power the big tb loses power. And is about the same mid range.
I'm not sure why that car drops off in power so early in the rpm range anyway. But I have heard there was something sketchy going on.

 

For one, if the 2006 in question is non-revup, then it's automatic. All 06 MT's were revup. The non-revup ones were AT. The low rev limit supports this.

Also, peak power means little. The red curve has a significant area under the curve advantage, especially at the top end where it matters.

One more thing. If you understand why a big throttle body would make power, because of lower pressure drop through it at high mass flow rates, then you would immediately ignore the mid-range left half of the graph anyways. If I wanted more power at 3500, I would downshift.
