Looking very nice, did you ever run a plenum space prior to kenetix? I've run a spacer for about 3 years, I'm happy with it and just not sure it would be worth the investment
Pat Trottier yes I did and was happy with it. Made good peak power, but dropped off pretty hard after peak. I always had plans for cams and boost eventually, so I went for the kinetix. It flattened things out nicely.
Hey man, super nice build you have. I have the same kind of build (except built internals for safety) and jwt c8 cams. Did you dyno a before and after admin WITH Cams? I have custom 3 inchs just to see if 3.5 could make some gains.. Superbe z you have. Cheers from France 😉
I know this is very late, but would u mind sharing what catch can system ur running? I was thinking of running the ARC but I’ve heard they’re issues with installation when running boost, and I’ve seen the catch can u have with turbo setups.
Sp right now I'm running the Z1 mspec cold air intake .... tbh I dont almost ever feel or see the difference but maybe I just didnt notice because I quickly after got the kinetix n throttle body, is it a noticeable difference with your short ram set up ?
jaime paramo I ran the same intake prior to this one. I did pick up power with it. I personally think it’s what helped me nudge over 300whp matched with the cams
Tomei 272/10.5. I doubt I would go back to stock plenum. It’s just too limited on the top end and creates more of a peak vs power under the curve; especially matched with cams
Interesting. If I'm not mistaken revup stock cams have similar lift (10.55 I believe) with alot less duration. So your cams are just holding the valves open alot longer. I'm considering a kinetix but can seem to find a good N/A dyno comparison vs stock. In any case nice car. I enjoy seeing 1 off builds like this
@@jaypro2989 yea its because most people with these plenums have giving it bad reviews for a lot of reasons. I personally wouldn't get it. For the money it's not worth it and guys pushing over 700whp have the stock plenum on so I wouldn't even worry about it
Is your intake manifold the best one on the market? Because I found a front facing intake manifold for the 350z for $1,600.00. I wanted to know your opinion? Thank you..
It will completely depend on long term. The velocity loses a bit of mid range for a smoother top end. It also helps with boosted and cammed applications
What’s your opinion on going boost with a stock plenum + plenum spacer (z1 angled) right now I’m NA but the parts I’m collecting is to prep for boost. Also why did you decide to go with the kinetix mani ?
@@DEATHWISHVQ on an NA setup you may lose peak hp numbers, but the curve will improve overall. With cams it will perform better, and with boost is also better
@@user-tb2ft2dp2f I’m not sure if you are asking him or me. But I am using a VQPLUG strut bar, I made a video on it, but last time I checked I don’t think they are in business anymore.
Jus do a intake spacer! Less then $100 bucks, an adds power an TQ!! On my 03z enthusiast M6, all it has C.A.I an intake spacer an muffler delete, I made 280HP an 270TQ! Varooom varooom VQ35DE power 🚗💨💨💨 💪😎
@@VitaminZ77 damn that’s interesting, I’m trying to mod my car like that but same time cars been making a ticking noise for the longest and it’s time I do something abt it so I’m saving for whatever is wrong with it
Just got a 04 touring on 7/22 we ain’t making 400 whp with out a turbo unless you feed it E85 but you can kiss reliability good buy ....tbh if you want to shame these V8s like I do go Twin turbo
I got a g35 sedan 5at and getting similar mods but it’s only my daily so after those bolt ons I wanna get a tune so is it possible to get it tuned and does your Z got the pulley fan or the electrical fan?
@@mrguerra12345 he is tuned in UpRev. the early production 2003 G35 sedan auto are the ones that are not compatible with UpRev. Because they use a different style Ecu than the other G35s. Then later in the 2003 model production year they made an ECU change. That’s why some 2003 sedans can’t use UpRev.
Great video and explanation. Love the clean engine bay. Working on mine at the moment (clutch)
Very clean set up 👍
Love the videos bro keep them coming
Alfonso Delgado will do!
Thanks this gives me an idea of what to do to my DE 350z
Great video man
Awesome vid, thanks for being honest about the kinetic manifold, most people don’t want to admit that they lost power with it.
Definitely easy to get hung up on a peak number vs the shape of a curve and long term goals 👌
please could you show how you installed your harness cover titanium

I have a DE , with a K&N intake and Tomie Y pipe and tomie catback, would you recommend me this ?
whered you get the bolts! there awesome mine are all rusted
304whp is plenty for a de model! I want to figure out how I can make my turbo de rev higher and also make power all the way to redline…good info tho

chadou17 yes I did. I was around 292 with cams and a different intake, and then 304 with the admin intake.
@@VitaminZ77 are u manual ?

That harness cover I need it
I have a rev up so that manifold wouldn't do anything other than look good?

Do you think that the kinetix manifold helped with power once you added the cams?
Jay Hansen yes, the kinetix matched with the cams works well in the higher rpm range
My build is just like this but my cams are different
I just bought admin CAI's for my HR. did the velocity stack + Z! filter make a noticeable difference?
Ryan Scanlan I didn’t dyno test the two, but from everything I found it made sense to run it
I may have missed it but what cams are you running? Also have you considered going back to stock plenum with admin intake to see if you graph changes?

Interested jn your intake setup since you're going boost. 😁
It will be for sale!

Plenty of folks have done it that way. The velocity manifold typically makes power over an OEM plenum with boost
@@VitaminZ77 is that due to the direct air porting to the cylinders? From what I’ve heard it’s not ideal for NA unless going FI.
@@DEATHWISHVQ on an NA setup you may lose peak hp numbers, but the curve will improve overall. With cams it will perform better, and with boost is also better

What brand did you use?
hi there very clean engin bay and set up , did you change the MAF also , since it's oversized intake tube ??
No I still run the OEM MAF, but required a tune
@@VitaminZ77 ah ok thank you
Are you running the Z1 jwt pop charger or the high flow air filter?
This was the Z1 high flow filter on a blox velocity stack to fit the admin 3.5” intake
Where did you find that harness cover?
Bought it a long time ago when they were still for sale in several places. Unfortunately, I think they are discontinued.
Can you make a list of all the mods you have on your engine
There are several videos here that should cover it for you!
i want to do the same exact mods except cams. how much power to you estimate or guess i could make? DE btw
I made around 270whp before cams
@@VitaminZ77 yeah I’ve heard a cam in a na de would help you get close to 300 that’s after you’ve fbo your z
@@OM4Rx it does. Put me over 300

What do you think your DE would run in the 1/4? I have 251whp and 232wtq and I run 13.74 @ 101
Taylor Freudenthaler not really sure, actually.
@@VitaminZ77 do you think it's possible to hit 400 whp na with cams and etc on a de
@@eladiomarquez lol
@@DOMS4. someone made 372whp with itb
@@eladiomarquez Lol the car you speak of had $12-15 grand worth of work and already had cams. Still 28whp away from 400.
We’re did you get your intake shield?
I made it 🤘
Can be chanced the DE head with the HR head...i want dual throttle on mine
Not interchangeable but the hr can be with the vhr
I just finished a build list for my 04 touring, hoping to make 350-400 N/A whp at the end. Would you be willing to take a look at it?
Just got a 04 touring on 7/22 we ain’t making 400 whp with out a turbo unless you feed it E85 but you can kiss reliability good buy ....tbh if you want to shame these V8s like I do go Twin turbo
Juan Rodriguez its a stage 1 shortblock w cams , gtr injectors, and eventually a turbo/supercharger
day ohh you said N/A tho ?
I say without the supercharger or turbo charger realistically with an admin tune I would say 320 max whp
Twin Turbo over supercharger imo......I’m interested to see your build got an ig?
what brand oil catch can is that?
Dynosty
what kind of catch can is that? is it custom bracket??
It’s a dynosty catch can
Are you running oem/stock injectors?
This setup was on OEM R35 injectors
What’s on top of the timing cover?
Just a rare JDM harness cover. Z1 makes one as well
What is the air filter on top of the belts ?
Catch can 🤘
Oh okay lol I had a feeling it was that but uncertain because I never seen it with a breather on it . thanks for the reply
Also cool build bro I like the set up 😎
