2007 g35 306hp intake!!!!!

[soul_hfk]

are you going to put a turbo on your ride? if yea check the turbo kit out to see if it comes wit a intake(it should). if your not going to add a turbo then yea get yourself a intake to help that baby breath better

[zozoka1212]

Soul is rite If you don't get the turbo I think you should go with the intake. And I would do that first.

I should receive it next week somewhere. I'll go up North for couple of days in a cottage but I hope when I come back the set will be here. I'll let you know guys my first impression. I already am excited about it.

i thought you had intakes already? stillen or fujita?

[zozoka1212]

Stillen I like the stock looking.

[gama]

do you think they sound the same stillen and fujita? i know HP is the same

[zozoka1212]

Can't tell ya,but I think so.

yea but when you drive..fresh air is always coming in...so you dont really get hot air..only if you are idling. thats why dynos on intake makes no sense!!!!!you need to drive the car so the intake gets fresh air, thats why an intake is louder in motion than reving at a stand still..there should be a testing on intakes while in motion thats when we can find real HP gains on an intake

As far as the car moving/fresh air thing... depends... there is a lot to block the fresh air from coming into the car. With the kit I see in the pictures of the short rams they are so close to the motor I don't know how helpful what air is coming into the bay is going to help. Plus a lot of the air that is coming in is coming through the radiator so it's coming into the bay warm...

I took the lid off of my S2000's box (stock airfilter is a cone) because it sounds better... didn't seem to have an effect on the dyno pull I did however (fans were blowing)... but my airbox is at the front of the engine bay away from the motor. Only testing could really show there is a gain or loss due to heat... but if the heat source is as close to the filter as the pictures show... you might have a draw or a loss because air temp does have an effect on mass flow

As far as the louder when moving comment... not true. The reason it's louder when driving than reving is because the engine is under load (turning the wheels) and is working harder. Same reason a turbo car doesn't build very much if any boost when reving vs driving.

The question about intakes with turbo cars... piping will be entirely different with a turbo kit and you most likely won't be able to use the kit on the turbo car.

Hope this helps... I'm currently developing a system for the Z and G35 equipped with the VQ35HR btw... I'll post something when it's complete

[zozoka1212]

Well the stock air intake has a tube comming from the bumper. The Stillen is still using most of the air from there because of the heatshield. I don't know about the fujita. Fujita has no heatshield. But the dyno tells you I guess.

Quick question. What you do with the wires for the air sensor. There is not a clamp like with the stock boxes.

[Sentientbydesign]

most intake aren't worth the money. especially the shortram intake... the stock intake were design to take in "cold air" and stay pretty much clean as long as possible.

the aftermarket intake, yes, they look nice but all they do is take in "hot engine air". how good is that? and if you drive a G, you will know how hot it gets in there.

the "cold air intake" available for the G get the cold air, but gets dirty pretty damn quick. not only that, when it rains, you have to take it out.. what a freaking hassle.

a simple thing to do is just replace the stock filter with the high flow K&N filter.

There is some serious misinformation here ^^^

I can't speak for the VQ35HR aftermarket intakes, but for the VQ35DE aftermarket intakes, both the Popcharger and the Stillen have heat shielding and the Stillen utilizes the front scoop as well.

What you are getting is efficiency in place of sound deadening. PLAIN and SIMPLE. There are 2 chambers on the intake for the DE and the flex tubing.

Those chambers muffle the sound of the rushing air, but at a cost. By removing them, you get noise and slightly better performance.

I have been told that the Stillen and JWT are the only good ways to go. Supposedly, all of the longram/shortram designs actually lose power. Again, I'm not sure how this applies to the HR engine.

Ideally, the intake would have a non-conducting heat shield and some method of directing air at the filter as well as having a smooth, short path to the throttle.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE CAI WHEN IT RAINS!!! Unless you have a long ram intake that goes straight to the underbody cover AND you're driving through a foot or two of water, the engine WILL NOT hydrolock.

My wife's Celica has an AEM CAI and it actually rained pretty good here in SoCal this past year. She had 0 problems. For those who are EXTREMELY paranoid, you can get a bypass valve.
