Default VQ35 ITB Pic

I'm considering this, with cams and full MAP plus test pipes and exhaust.

What do you guys think and what sort of power do you think it'll run. (i know N/A engines are not all about power but driveability, just wondering)

From the look of that thing, go for it, it looks so sick. Couple thing you wanna double check though, first is the hood clearance...that thing sticks up pretty high you might have problem with the hood. Second, you might need to fabricate some kind of box with intake piping for the ITB otherwise it just gonna suck in all the hot air in the engine bay....therefore, reducing you hp & torque output.

Hopefully as I have a HR the bonnet will clear. I have an air box, well 2, sorted. They are jenvey which is ideal as I'm in the uk it makes things easy as my tuner fits jenvey kits all the time (not on a z yet though).

I'll be going standalone management prob with a omex as my tuner is part of omex.

The car will be a dd and plan on using it at 'the ring' and some local tracks and maybe some 1/4 mile

what sections of the intake tract does thier kit replace? (besides the obvious...) all the way to the heads?

do you plan on getting headwork? are the ITBs oversized intake runners?

Adam it's a custom carbon box by the same guy who did one for my last itb on an old car although I believe piperx do one for it.

Planning on doing some port work and cams but that may be phase 2.

I love naturally aspirated cars, and by the looks of the kit the quality is there. I understand however, that to effectively use these ITB's is not a bolt and and go process, and I think that is what most of the Z owners are looking for with aftermarket products.
