These were all straight decals. They're not from Enkei. They're from this guy on eBay lol. He did them cheap. But yeah they may look like they're curved but they're all straight 100%

And either way it still wouldn't matter, if they were curved for the contour of the wheel, the words would be facing the same way so it would look the same, know what I mean?

Maybe it's the picture. I got the same ones on eBay when I was thinking about powdercoating my old ones but they were curved.

I know you had both Megan single and agency power, which do you like better?....I know they look a bit different but did you notice a gain when you switched em. I know the agency might be a little lighter.

Agency looks better and is lighter yes.

The Megan had some weird noise when the engine was cold. Idk how to explain it other than it was very very high pitched. Almost sounded like a civic until the engine was warmed up.

Ok you've got my attention now , i've been looking at ways to get more out of the HR motor without FI...7-10hp increase seems pretty steep, i'll be waiting on results before i purchase.

have you looked into the NWP throttle bodies yet?

Lol yeah. only reason i got them is because they were so cheap. i've heard mixed reviews on them. may keep them, may sell/flip them. we'll see.

and NWP hasn't made any for the HR yet unfortunately. and not sure if the DE tb's would work or not

i think they're DE tbs are 75mm. stock on hr is 60mm. stock on de is 70mm iirc. the jump from 60 to 75mm may be a little much. lol. but yeah see what they say. they're somewhat local to me, and one of the owners Aaron has talked to me on fb before releasing the DE tb kits. mention my name

Those seem to be some nice pulleys. Just aw a thread on them over by the 370z forums. http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...no-charts.html


I emailed them sometime ago about releasing a tb one for the hr but they had no plans to at that time.

Even though most of you have seen the other thread:
https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exha...r-project.html

May as well update this thread as well

Picked up 15whp and 11tq with some custom 3" intakes and a retune!
