So, I have been in the creative lab working on a few things. One of which was a Cold Air Intake for my 07 350z. Thanks to our fabricator he made it happen pretty quickly. I figured it would work well with the next few rounds of modifications. I didn't expect any gains what-so-ever. Turns out there is some power to be found with an intake. Which is pretty impressive since basically you have no ram air effect on the dyno like you would on the road.

We put it on our Dynapack saw a 9.6 ft lbs. gain and 5.6 hp! A nice bump in horsepower throughout the RPM band. I am not done, I want to play with a few different air filters. Eh, enough with my BS…

Take a look!

Looks good. Good work. In for updates, im curious to see where this goes. If things go well, i might end up getting a pair haha (assuming you will make more and sell some)

 

Where is the Blow off Valve? I keed.

 

interesting...

 

Interesting. I think I am not alone in being somewhat skeptical, however. Cobb testing proved that brands such as nismo, fujita, and themselves could not improve upon the stock design, so I cant help but question the gains.

Congrats on what you have done though!

 

i'm very impressed with your work. however, i'm interested in how you gained ~10 ft-lbs with that setup. our enginers are completely covered underneath (if i'm mistaken please let me know), and the mini ducts in front of the stock airboxes is all i see where the freshest air can come from.

in summary, could you enlighten me with more detail to your setup?

 

Any pics with the bumper off?

 

so the dyno pull was done w/out an air filter element, or w/ one?

 

looks good! are you gonna try and go into production with this?

 

looks great......how much are you going to sale these for.

 

Nismo, Fujita & AEM, are more or less the same type of intake. All their designs sacrifice the closed air box design drawing in air from outside the engine bay for a larger filter surface area, drawing in air inside the engine bay. Nismo & AEM "heat shields" hardly isolate the filter media from engine bay heat. All the intakes out thus far promote "higher flow" design, by trying to increase filter surface area, and diameter of intake piping, without taking into consideration how much less flow is actually required on 1 bank of the engine versus both. The one by BlackTuner is indeed a REAL cold air setup.

My question to BlackTuner is, are the filters in the fender wells like the older DE AEM/Nismo cold air intakes? Also, if I'm reading the dyno correctly, it does look like the cold air setup creates more power throughout the entire powerband except near the very end?

The one plus is the longer the tube the greater the TQ but I am suprised to see the HP go up.

 

looks cool

still kinda skeptical though

 

Yet you bought Fujitas?

TK

 

nice gains, and sub'in for more info

 

 

Send them to Cobb to see what they make

 

where did you put the maf sensors?

 

^ I was Thinking the same thing ^

 

any updates?
