Kinetix Intake Manifold Install; Making Your Butt Dyno Happy!

Hey guys, so the grey Z passed smog so we put the kinetix manifold back on with the bigger throttle body. You will need to clear the engine codes that pop up which should be c1131 and p2135. The kinetix website says 30.5 horsepower gain but i doubt it is that much. My butt dyno can tell a difference though. If you enjoy the video, like and subscribe. Enjoy!

That +30 whp gain Kinetix Racing posted on their site was from a 2003 350z non rev-up engine with the rev limiter raised from 6,700 to 7,100 RPM. With the stock plenum, it made 231 whp at 6,100, but lost about 30 hp from 6,200 to 7,000 rpm. With the Kinetix Velocity Intake, the Z made over 240 whp from 6,200 to 7,000 Rpm. That test was done with no other intake or exhaust upgrades to the car. The Velocity Intake is designed for horsepower gains in the higher rpm range. I have the same Intake Manifold on my 350z and I notice the gains with the Intake Manifold along with other bolt on hp mods. My Z is tuned with the rev limiter raised to 7,100 RPM. It comes down to who is tuning the 350z with that Intake.

Drivers are responsible but what happens when they dont pay attention like they usually do? 2 wrongs dont make a right but the difference here is one idiot sustains heavy injuries possibly death while the other idiot faces the law.

[@RIKUHARDY]

I have the motordyne spacer. Now when I replace the plenum with this velocity manifold, do I have to install that bypass. Reason I ask is cause I have the copper TB adapter motordyne created. It allows antifreeze to pass through the TB only when it's cold and not when it's hot. If I'm making sense here

So when you put the bolts on the interior of the manifold what exactly did you have to do

[@WookieDrake]

Shouldn’t you do a throttle reset shortly after installing this? Or is it not necessary

[@mikeyg8133]

So what did u do to the connections under the throttle body? Did u cover them up?

Hi what scanner do you use to make the relearn to fix the acceleration problem

[@willk3807]

So how much? Also if the intake and the bolts are steel. Set a piece of plastic on top of the intake. Then place a huge speaker magnet on it. This should prevent the bolts from falling into the engine

[@gordonsweep]

hey there.. nice video , I am very interested in getting the kinetix manifold also for my car so just a question , do you have to do a dyno after the install or not, it is like mandatory ??? can I go without bringing my car to do a dyno ???? thanks in advance

[@drtwofingers]

its highly advised to get a tune after installation. but like the comment section has been saying, this manifold is amazing with other complimentary mods and boost (either turbo or supercharged). if you're looking for a solid performance gain, stick with the stock plenum and get the motordyne plenum spacer, easy install, easy on the pocket book and dont need to tune afterwards. also you don't necessarily have to put your car on a dyno to get a tune, but if you can afford it and know a shop that specializes in the VQ motors it would be preferred

Is this mod a waste of money? I have full exhaust , cold air intake and headers of course , or should i go the plenum spacer route?

[@officialgio01]

Efrain Peralez yes according to many, many people and forums i seen you probably need to be boosted and tuned to actually get hp gain if you go plenum spacer route if you have a revup engine you need a mrev2 before or else no hp gain and if you have a nonrevup you can just use the plenum with no mrev2

[@masonwhitlow4298]

5mm larger tb is not worth $300 for the little gains you’re going to get from that. If it were an 85-90mm tb I’d say yes. My guess is you couldn’t tell a single difference in power from the stock 70mm to the 75mm.

That's all you're paying for is a nice sound they did a dyno test and it actually decreases your horsepower

[@Speeder105]

There are gains with this intake manifold. It just this manifold was designed to make gains after 6,000 rpms. There are various dyno charts that show this intake manifold makes better gains in the top rpm range than the stock plenum with a spacer. The key to take advantage of the gains with this intake is having the 350z or G35 tuned with a higher rev limit to 7,200 rpms. Other mods that would help with this intake manifold include a cold air intake with a larger that stock maf housing diameter and aftermarket headers.

@@Speeder105 do you know there's a thing called Photoshop nowadays those people claim that it makes more horsepower...
