Johnny.....They are correct about the Kinetix. It has been proven on here a few times....it was proven that the stock with spacer came out better. I will see if i can find it for you.

 

is that the stock bumper remolded?

i love that stock look with more opening for airflow to the intercooler. i need this. I can't afford anymore ground clearance with an aftermarket open front but i need the airflow.

 

as said in 1st paragraph, nismo bumper.

 

Wow! Im in love with this car!

 

i see the tq higher than the whp as a sign of a bottle neck....which is not seen on other dyno runs....i dont really think it matters..the car is makeing serious power either way..... and the looks are very impressive... its one of my favourite Gs actually

 

definitely a nice ride. i'm in to see if it gets figured out why tq is higher than hp, as mine is like that too..albeit with the aps single.

 

but i've never seen a nismo that the front is completely open like that. All i've seen has dual openings.

 

+1 again

I think the exhaust is the cause of that. The Greddy Spectrum Elite for the G35 coupe has a single 60mm (2 3/8") inlet into a single muffler with dual outlets, which is obviously going to be restrictive with an FI setup. Here is a pic.





For comparison, the Greddy Turbo Ti-C for the G35 coupe has full dual 70mm (2 3/4") piping with dual mufflers.

 

yes, just like the OP said, they plastic cut it and remolded it. then painted it. easily cost more than an aftermarket

 

thanks all for the great feedback. car will be coming back next week to button up a few things and we are gonna try a few different things. let you guys know what happens!

 

Johnny....tell the owner of that car that a nice car like that should have a Cosworth Plenum

 

Cosworth Plenum equals pretty but, a huge POS as far as making power!

We pull ours (Costworth's) off the cars when racing and or dyno'ing (and install plenum spacer and stock cover)and only put the Cosworths on for photoshoots!

Looking Good Johnny/Amber!

 

from what i have been seeing on this forum, hal @ injected would disagree...

i know briguymax just dyno'd with his new cosworth and was quite happy with the gains, but he also added meth so it may be hard to distinguish what helped the most.

 

Don't have my dyno files from the shop yet because I forgot my USB thumb drive, but I will confirm that my Cosworth was MUCH better for top end power than my stock manifold with the spacer. Moved my peak HP up 700rpm and held power all the way to 7000rpm with the stock cams.

 

intense is going to give it another shot soon anyways....so will see

 

I saw a big gain after exchanging my stock plenum for the Cosworth....it was like night and day.

 

Whatever Mike....I'm not convinced you even own a car!!!!!!!!!!

jk

lol

 

If Sharif keeps it any longer...you maybe right

 

lol...nooooooooo

 

wow, very nicely done, proper craftsmanship indeed! OP just a suggestion to change the description on the front bumper to avoid confusion since I see a few guys asking about it.
It's not a Nismo it's actually an AIT bumper with the middle part cut out. AIT is basically an INGS lip molded onto the stock bumper.


here's a Nismo front. you can see it's different





and here's the AIT ings style bumper
