Blind_Drifter Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 we all try to guestimate our numbers. No denying it. He guestimated 325 and i thought it was high. I voiced my opinion and he refused to take my advice. It just seems ignorant when he doesnt take advice from members with experience. Vice- Im just trying to help you out. Last thing i want is you goign around saying you have 325 to people and looking like a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VICE Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Hey Palermo do you still have your stock air filter box? If you do, remove it and get yourself some ram air materials at home depot and try it out see how much HP you gain. I actually have the 1G mas with the K&N out in the open. I need to tweak it a bit to get the (warm)idle to settle in a little better. Honestly, I really dont care how many horsepower my car has. I just want it to run good and look nice. So far so good quite a few bucks later. Blind Drifter... reread your first post if you dont think you've been negative. I guess point of view is everything. So try out the ram air, it might not look as nice as what you're aiming for but it will feed constant cold air to your open filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89PalermoSHP Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I dont plan on going to a dyno anytime in the near future so I wouldnt be able to "see" any gains with it. Right now I am focusing on tires, radiators, brakes, and front end stuff. That about takes care of the $ I can set aside for my summer car. For some people its about numbers, for me its about turning the key and going somewhere. Oh no. You hurt my feelings. Let me e-thug now.

angryhero46 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 to test this out you need to measure how much air is going through the tubes and find a fan to put the same cfm out and then dyno both.Seems a bit drastic.Id rather have my car look nice then have 2 funny a** tubes sticking out the bottom of the air dam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostintsi Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 350z is weak....heavy car with a very small peak powerband. g35 is even heavier..... I beat one 4 times in a row at stock boost levels on my setup, and I was driving nice, not even redlining and powershifting. no way ur at 325 buddy.

Ryan_V Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 You could find a NACA duct that would fit that hole in the airdam perfectly. I knew someone who did that and it looked trick. Something like this below. http://www.quickcar.net/cooling/cp_bumpduct.html Racecars have used ductwork to cool brakes and engine components since the olden day's. It really does work.. I couldn't care less if he's making 325hp, but it sounds like his car is running strong. That's all that matters in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, It don't take no Engineer to understand this concept.. I like that black piece it would be cool if it fit perfectly into the bumper and ducts.

Truth Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 allow me to give my opnion in a non-insulting way... my mods are in my sig, and on the dyno (albeit with my car running UNDER 10:1 on the dyno graph, and i have since gotten it tuned) i got 245hp and 313tq and that was untuned. i have no idea what the numbers are now that i have my walbro and the MAF-Translator dialed in and tuned. here is the list of your mods: 89 TSI: Wiseco .20 over, Pauter rods, NJV port and polished Marnal head, 284 Cam, Supra Tranny, ARPs, Clevites, 19C @ 19Psi, 3" Trilogy Exhaust, Trilogy injectors and Adj. Fuel Press. Reg. Walbro 255, K&N, Ram Air, XS RFL, MSD Digital 6 Plus, Griffin aluminum radiator. DONT BE A HATER all right, here goes. oversized pistons and special rods will never give you extra hp. a ported and polished head, will, however. arp's and a different tranny will not give you any more hp. neither will the radiator. so basically, you have the same mods as me except you have a ported and polished head and a cam. i'm not sure, but i do not think that a ported and polished head will net you 100 more hp than my setup and mine runs EXTRA strong. again, i'm sorry if everyone else came on a little strong, but there has been one 300+ hp TBI car that i have ever heard of, and he was running extra injectors and high boost. it is an unrealistic claim, and i'm sure your car runs strong. but facts are facts. i didn't mean to come off as a richard cranium, but i'm just giving you the facts.

Truth Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Well I'm getting rid of the stock fuel injection real soon.. you talking about MPI? if so, i could see you getting 300hp on an MPI car, except i believe that 19c will hold you back. it's really not in it's efficiency range after 18psi. 300hp on MPI is cake, 300hp on TBI is not.

Blind_Drifter Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 300 is more beliveable with MPI. Only one car is 300 on TBI and they have extra injectors on the OVCP so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VICE Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Tru well I'm shooting at around or over 400 HP with MPI on my setup.. What are you guys gona tell me that is un-realistic too? The way I see it is after I go MPI Imma get me a T-61 or T70 turbo wit a nice intercooler then I'm shooting for 500 HP which will be easily to gain with that setup.

I like those ducts tho to make it look flush and still keep the air ram. Ram air is notorious, SRAD Suzuki Ram Air Direct, other bikes are still using it, as so are some cars.. COLD AIR RAMMED INTO YOUR INTAKE SYSTEM will make your engines perform better no doubt about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGJOHNSON Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Those ducts look pretty bitchen. Vice, it's a good thing to introduce cold air. Your not really doing a ram air setup because it's not a sealed unit. But cold air is usually 20+ degrees cooler your introducing to the filter, which makes the car alot more consistent and helps heat soak. Which then makes the car feel zippier all the time. I just wish mine ran decent at all, blown headgaskets suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind_Drifter Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 hhmmm... 1) That car was actualy built for road course duty. http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/7865/660912ui1.jpg 2) Your set up isnt quite a ram air. Its more of a "fresh, cool air" set up. 3) Good luck on your "500hp" journey. Seriously. Cause theres only a few others i know of.... FIP, Sakura, questsi, and i THINK the red EIP quest.
