hey guys,

Bout to order some mods online....

I am choosing between the following 2 combinations: 1. Motordyne plenum + z-tube or 2. Motordyne plenum + z-tube+ jwt pop charger.

I've got an 5AT, which I consider a 'cruiser' rather than a 'muscle' car. Does anybody think the JWT pop charger could be too loud? Ive already got a fujitsubo exhaust which makes some decent sound at high rpm.

Also will excluding the pop charger mean I will get less overall power gains? Ive read the plenum/ztube/jwt can add 15kw to the wheels...

I just want to ensure my car keeps its character I guess...

cheers,

Danny

I found my Popcharger only made my Z33 louder past like 3000RPM. Around town, you shouldn't even notice it.

Up in the rev range it gives the engine one hell of a nice note. I got compliments from everyone I drove past at WOT.

Hmmm been meaning to get one myself. Where are u planning to buy it from? I saw one on Ebay US but the postage price puts me off.

hi,

Just wondering what power gains did u get? I heard in some cases there is a loss of power down low?

Not sure...

share your experiences

Come on Danny i know you have done you research :) Just buy that Space and get that Intake. +15rwkw is yours for the taking :)

Paul I sure I have ; )

I was referring to the Fujita filter..

no doubt the jwt/ztube combo adds some some power.

my only concern is if the sound is 2 loud, but seems like under 3000 I should be ok.

cant wait for the extra 15kw....

because the stillen are popular as well as the JWT and also help prevent with loss of power from heatsoak. The fujita and jwt will cause you to some power loss due to heatsoak without proper heatshield.

So far from my knowledge and the G35driver.com, that JWT are more popular for the 350z owner due to the hole intake at the front of the beam, while the V35 not as good. G35 in USA seems alot more popular using the stillen, being the one that having a good heatshield and prevention of heatloss. Also help with the problem of getting defect by cops too.

This is purely owners choice, if you just want sound then JWT pop charger. if you want sound and less chance of power loss, then go for stillen.

I just want the OEM looks and don't want trouble from coppers as well or even upgrade to the 06+ rev up intake box.

cheers

    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
