interested in the dyno numbers. How much this cost you

 

To much for what I got. Got screwed from quote to actual.

 

damn I hate when people do that. However it looks really nice and still want to see dyno numbers. Do you think this is possible as a DIY?

 

This looks very interesting. Sub'd for updates on this. Thanks for being a pioneer Syno and sharing the results with us!

 

Decided to ship the Tb's to Maxbore instead of just a polish and profiling of the butterfly shaft that I got. I already have $130 into them but again I thought I was getting porting too!!

Maxbore charges $35 for profiling the butterfly shaft which I believe is for only 1 TB so I'm thinking positively on this and only looking at it as a $70 loss instead of a $130 loss since my shaft is smooth

We'll see what they look like when they come back. Again right now the TB is 2.6" at the front lip and tapers to 2.35" at the butterfly plate. Then it goes back up to 2.39" at the back. This is all bad since the manifold is 2.5" so the TB needs to be at least 2.5" also!

I emailed Maxbore and he said these would go from 60mm to 65mm the whole way through with a new bigger butterfly. Hope it all works out this time!

 

Yes a 370z member did it but he's replaced his heads, motor, tunes a HR ecu, makes his own full exhaust, carbon fiber full diffuser, fenders etc etc. so if you got skill start porting. If not, don't do it.

 

Sub'd and interested in the results. Syno ~ Are you using a long tube or short ram air intake? Also wondering which air filters you're using.

 

I custom made a stillen copy out of silicone and used their 3" k&n filters RU-2820.

DIY cai? - Nissan 370Z Forum

 

Great link and DIY for CAI. I'm modding my Takeda CAI by shorten the 3" tube to get out from the back of the MtFuji emblem in order to get more air.

1) I noticed no upper manifold cover. Was that for the DIY pics or do you normally have the cover removed? 2) No M370 installed from the DIY pics. Do you now? 3) I noticed the hoses going to your PCVs going different directions. Didi you install dual oil catch cans?

Sorry for the questions. Just interested and respect your work.

 

Thanks. I'm putting in the inlet ducts for more air on my bumper if you've seen them.

My cars fully gutted. Anything that can go went. The hoses are for my AOS I made. See here, post 3. 2013 sport build - Nissan 370Z Forum

 

Ok TB's are in.

So front lips gone to 2.64" and tapers down into the center but now there's no more lip. The middle went to 2.51" as far as my calipers can get in from the front. 2.49" now on the back lip which now looks port matched to the manifold!!!! I might have a little sanding to do on the mani, won't know till I bolt them up. And as far as I can get in on the back side closest to the butterfly, it's now 2.48"!

So before 2.6 to 2.5 but then 2.5 down to 2.35 at the butterfly, then back up to only 2.39 at the mani.

Now 2.64 to 2.51 but only down to 2.48 at the butterfly, then to 2.49 at the mani.

I wish the new butterfly was knife edged though.

 

smmoooooooooth!

 

Any updates??

 

talked to my tuner today. looks like next saturday will be the tune as of right now. however since the porter gave me issue and money here and there i just told him to do a regular old tune and dyno. ill show up with the parts already installed and just go from there. since ill control the dyno settings ill make sure my runs are the same settings and such as in september 2013, august 2013, and next saturday. with a dynojet and the same correction factor, the correction numbers should all give the same numbers as if all runs were done on the say day even though weather changes. for reference ill post the first 2 dynos ive done there so you can see where the car was at in the very beginning, middle and end. wish me luck i get in, get tuned, and come out ahead!

Good luck on this. I know your pain. My last vehicle was a Titan and I modded mine with an LS7 throttle body paired with a hybrid 07' Titan intake manifold using an LS3 snout. I was one of the first 3 with the manifold and it wasn't all fun in the beginning but the result was astronaut level.
