Kinetix SSV intake manifold for G37

I contacted Kinetix in regards to the SSV intake manifold. I wanted to see if they were designing one for the G37. This is the response they gave me.

“We have tentative plans, however most likely at least 6 months off. We want to wait and see if the new 350z will use the same engine.”

I have attached the link to Kinetix website.
http://kinetixracing.com/index.asp?P...ProdID=12&HS=1

On the dyno chart for the N/A 350Z they show a max horsepower increase of 16.9 HP @ 4000 RPM, and 12.8 HP @ 6300. Now look at the torque gains on the dyno chart. Right around 3500 RPM the gain appears to be around 20-25 foot lbs. These numbers should be a VERY noticeable difference. I wonder how the VVEL will react with a manifold like this when they come out with one for the dual throttle body set up?

I think we can all agree that all the VQ engines could use more torque in the low-mid RPM range, but the waiting is killing me. What do you think?

KINETIX WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

I had the SSV on my G35. Actually in NA applications it was proven to loose power. But in FI applications it showed considerable gains.

Actually the Motordyne plenum had great gains for NA cars.

Yeah it didnt do anything to NA, but it was beast on FI.

I had their Kinetix V+ plenum on my g35 and i loved it. I never got dyno'd but just the fact that i could drive for 3 hours and pop the hood and smack my hand flat onto the plenum and it was just warm and not a billion degrees i knew it kept the air cooler.

It sucks there not really making anything for us. Just HFCs and camber kits from what i see.

Every dyno on it I saw had it equivalent to a plenum spacer. I had it originally as well, although it didn't do jack squat for power it did make the engine sound like it had a metallic growl and it had considerable bling power, even the cosworth didn't produce much.

In fact I was told by Darren at Intense they put the Cosworth on their shop 350z's and G35's for magazine photo shoots but they then took it off and opted for a spacer for the actual dyno tuning and street use of their cars as it yielded better power than the plenum replacements.
