Weapon-R looking for M45 test vehicle.

Post by **cee_dub2003** » Mon May 22, 2006 9:19 am

Weapon-R is looking for a M45. We are going to be doing some Research and development of our intake system. 2003 -2006 models. The donor vehicle will receive a intake at no cost to the owner.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact us: Weapon*R Competition Products 180 Sylvester Road South San Francisco, CA 94080 650-877-8280 ext 4#[email protected]

No thanks, buddy.2006 Infiniti M45 does not need to be modified air intake or intake systemWeapon-R guys need to understand that these are not Honda civic or Acura Integra. M's are competing with BMW 5series and MB E-Class catagories.

I'm sure most of M45 owners will agree with me that 335 HP is quite enough to scare Bimmers and even Corvettes.

I wouldnt complain about a free air intake...

Be interesting to see dyno charts to see what it actually does

Not sure I agree, although it does seem that Weapon-r are not typically playing in the LPS league. There are quite a few mods available for 5-series, and firms like Renntech are well-entrenched in the MB mod market.

I'm not averse to intake or exhaust bolt-ons for my M45, if they offer some substantive performance kick and don't require modifying other parts to fit. From what I've seen on other forums, I don't believe I'm alone here...

That being said, I'm nowhere near Northern CA, and I'd need to know a lot more about Weapon-r quality / durability / etc. before I'd buy.

Point. Hence my question: any prior history on other cars available to show here?

I have a 2003 M45, but I tend to keep my cars stock (as well maintained as I can though! ), so I'd like to know what is the likely situation here before I would be willing to experiment.

Lighten up! And speak for yourself when you say, “the M45 doesn’t need modifying” Keep in mind that Mercedes has Renntech (sp), AMG, Kleeman, Brabus, Lorinser, etc.. & BMW has the M group & Dinan, etc… all of these groups do amazing aftermarket work and have the data to prove it. I’d love to see the dyno results after the weapon R install.

There is no such thing as "enough HP"

Amen.

Hell, a simple 5-minute intake mod on the G35 netted 6 hp at the wheels!

There's always room for improvement - the question is, At What Cost?

Post by **elwesso** » Tue May 23, 2006 5:43 am

The M45 could be a little faster IMO..... Just fast enough to be even more dangerous..

According to the web site below, it is already available for the 05+ M’s, but nothing for the 03-04 M’s

I'd love to hear anyone's experience or dyno info with this on an '06.

Sure...send me one. I just clocked 36K and i've been whining about it not being fast enough anymore. I looked at a Supercharger for it, but they want $10K....ouch...so lets do an intake for starters.

I would like an intake for the car but imagine how it would look in our engine compartment. Imagine a shiny colored(blue, red, chrome, etc.) pipe in your engine compartment, I just cant see it.

maybe its powder coated black or is a subtle color, im sure that they arent trying to rice out the m45, just give it more power, see what they have to offer and get thier details
