Here you go. I currently have the Kinetix mani on my workbench in my garage and am running with the stock plenum. The kinetix did not make any power over stock at the low boost levels I am running on an all stock bottom end. Looks good though!

 

Really? No power gain from the Kinetix? Yeah it looks good, but that's a disappointment to find out that it's all looks and no appreciable gains. Are you gaining anything at the higher boost/RPM levels?

 

daym I had high hopes for this one. Does look great though.

 

Thanks Greggski! You're right; It looks awesome.

Does anyone else have one?

 

I did not see the actual dyno from Sam, but the peak numbers were lower at a given boost level vs. stock plenum.

 

wanna sell them to me?

 

Haha. I might be putting it up in the classifieds on here, haven't decided yet.

 

I'm not surprised this doesnt make any gains...and if it doesnt make any gains on F/I it will probably lose power with N/A. Looks like Nissan engineers squeezed out everything from the stock VHR manifold.

 

looks good, however if there are no performance gains = fail.
even worse, no gains with f/i applications.
better off with headers, at least you get some gains.

 

WOW

This looks really good under the hood!!

 

Isn't Kinetix working on a new updated version? I thought I saw somewhere that they've been working on a new one?

 

That's what they stated, but no one has heard from them in months. My assumption, their "updated" version didn't prove to make worth-while gains.

 

I'm just gonna print this pic in high res and tape it under the hood, cause its just that hawt. lol

 

a little off topic, but is THIS what they mean by "plenum"...? plenum = intake manifold + runners?

 

Plenum (on a stock G) would be the black plastic intake manifold, under that (separate part) would be the metal intake runners.
The Intake runners go between the plastic plenum and the intake ports on the heads. It is also where the fuel rails and injectors mount onto and spray the fuel.
