We were able to test out the AdminTuning 3.5" intake on a customer's car, tuned on UpRev by Saul @ Nismo Knights in SoCal. Details below.

Car info: '05 DE 350Z 6speed.

First run:
Stillen intake, stock IM with spacer, OBX headers, exhaust, tuned on UpRev. 253whp.

Second run:
Added AdminTuning 3.5" intake and NWP TB, re-tuned. 269whp.

Both runs done on the same dyno. Injector duty is touching 90% in peak areas.

Net gains, 16whp/20wtq peak, with gains all over the powerband. I am pleasantly surprised how this intake and this TB work even on a stock intake manifold. Dyno graph is below.

Here's a sample picture of the intake on ANOTHER customer car with Kinetix manifold. I don't have any closeups of the intake installed right now.




Feedback is appreciated, thank you. Questions specific to the intake can be directed to me.

We tested the following combinations with the following results:

AdminTuning intake + MD spacer + tune = 269whp

Swapped to Kinetix and lost like 2-3whp peak but it carried the power past peak a lot nicer, it did not drop hardly at all whereas with the previous graph you will see above it starts to drop.

The Kinetix Velocity is only worthwhile if you have cams or a RevUp engine at the very minimum and you need to rev the car because of how the Velocity relocates the power up top. For a stock cam non rev DE the spacer will make a faster car than the Kinetix.

Still out here! haha

OP - how did the timing vary between the 253whp run and the 269whp run?

great comparison & test ... from a technical standpoint it'd be nice to see how the 3.5" did independent of the bigger TB and how the TB did independent of the 3.5".

Timing was basically the same.

We did a test of AdminTuning vs. the Nismo intake on a DE (both runs tuned) and both runs with the STOCK TB and saw +16whp +13wtq.

NWP TB usually doesn't gain much peak it just helps broaden the peak area.

Placed a order 4 months ago, been told the intake would get shipped out next week 3 times, all I have got is a tracking number that has been pending for a month. GREAT BUSINESS!

Let me tell you a story, I ordered my engine mounts in Nov of last year and just got them last month, everything is delayed around the world, specially things like this intake which ARE MADE TO ORDER.

I understand there's delays everywhere, but cmon.. Stop telling me it's getting shipped next week. I just want an actual ETA.

My Stillen shifter has constantly gotten pushed back, was recently told 1-2 weeks and yesterday they said 3-4 weeks more. The way I see it, is deal with it or cancel the order, it's frustrating for sure but what you gonna do....

Sounds pretty shady to me. Cancel the order and go somewhere else. Pat at Limpmode tuning can hook you up

Having the bend at the end of the intake isn't ideal. Admin>LMT.

I disagree
