PaulReeves.com - GPOWER.TV Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Has anyone else got this setup as I am about to get??? I want to know what Air Intake you're running & if you're getting any O2 Sensor Errors with yours?

Nightcrawler Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Apparently they are not worth the time, money or effort. Most reviews don't paint them in a positive light. The more popular option is the Cosworth setup. Or for much less money get the Kinetix V+ plenum for VERY similar (if not superior) results. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456141-v35-350gt-vq35de-velocity-intake-manifold-na-forced-induction-upgrade/#findComment-7524159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
camr33 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I test drove a car with this very setup, also had a stillen CAI. Honestly, I did not notice any difference with this set up or the stock one. To be fair though, it's hard to put a car through its paces with the dealer sitting next to you. I didn't buy it as it had the check airbag light on the dash, and by the time I found out it was an easy fix, the car had gone. It sure sounded nice though... 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456141-v35-350gt-vq35de-velocity-intake-manifold-na-forced-induction-upgrade/#findComment-7524526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the above picture what a Velocity Plenum is Andrew?http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35/product_info.php?cPath=427_429&products_id=2172 Cosworth Twin Air Intake USD: $1,342 vs Kinetix Velocity Plenum USD: $758. Well obviously anything with a dual air intake will piss over a single air intake anyday. Like the 370GT's have... Cosworth is the photo below, correct? What about O2 issues. Anyone have issues with aftermarket Plenums or Manifolds on here???

Nightcrawler Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 No, the V+ plenum is what I have and it looks like this: http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_350Z_and_G35_intake_plenum.aspx 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456141-v35-350gt-vq35de-velocity-intake-manifold-na-forced-induction-upgrade/#findComment-7525383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicii Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I can't imagine any intake mod would cause O2 sensor issues, except maybe oiled air filters that mess up the MAF??. things like aftermarket cats, or test pipes tend to trigger O2 issues. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456141-v35-350gt-vq35de-velocity-intake-manifold-na-forced-induction-upgrade/#findComment-7525673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulReeves.com - GPOWER.TV Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Damn I would of got the CAT combo one if I knew about it before!!! As an Exhaust shop was saying it was going to be $1,500 for a set of CATS if I needed to replace mine in the future! How do the In-Line Resonator pipes; (http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_350Z_and_G35_resonated_test_pipes.aspx) produce slightly more rwhp???, Than the S.S Test Pipes; (http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_350Z_and_G35_test_pipes.aspx) Or shall I go for the Spun CAT design (http://www.kinetixracing.com/kinetix_350Z_and_G35_high-flow_catalytic_converters.aspx) with improved strength & more clearance??? As when I bought the car, the front left CAT was touching the underbody when under load. After the exhaust system got fitted, its been better after some slight man power bending. But I can still hear it when uphill in 1st gear taking off!

Just have a look at the intakes.. the V+ is clearly designed to fit on top of the factory lower plenum. The SSV is a complete replacement manifold, so no way the V+ could fit along with it. As for the CAT pipes.. I can't imagine much difference in performance in the top 2, maybe a bit of noise difference. the lower one at least won't make the car illegal (assuming it meets the minimum standard in Aust). Either way, they aren't going to give you much of a gain. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456141-v35-350gt-vq35de-velocity-intake-manifold-na-forced-induction-upgrade/#findComment-7525712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
t5iv Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 If you run test pipes in a state that has EPA testing facilities, you're going to have a hard time. QLD, luckily, does not have EPA testing 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456141-v35-350gt-vq35de-velocity-intake-manifold-na-forced-induction-upgrade/#findComment-7526238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightcrawler Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Test pipes sound like shit too in my opinion. Way too raw and raspy. You don't want your V sounding like a farty Honda. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456141-v35-350gt-vq35de-velocity-intake-manifold-na-forced-induction-upgrade/#findComment-7526279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
