Cold Air Intakes

From Zwiki

Feed your VQ35DE what it wants! Cold air intakes route intake plumbing away from the hot engine bay areas, and deliver air through a free-flowing air filter and smooth intake passageways. The result? Cooler, denser air is delivered in greater quantities at higher velocities to your throttle body. Denser air, and more of it, equals power. The open air design of most of the aftermarket intakes (i.e. no airbox) gives the Nissan 350Z engine a more powerful grunt. If you're interested in adding horsepower and torque to your car, as well as giving it a more aggressive engine note, then adding a cold air intake should be your first step.

Most of the intakes listed on this page are compatible with the 350Z and G35. Performance of all the intakes are approximately equal, so pick the one that you think looks best and fits your budget.

Short Ram

These are the available short ram style intakes for the Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35. True short ram intakes are cold air intakes. They are intended to draw in cold air directly through an inlet duct or bumper cutout. However, most of these short ram style intakes are simply open filters in the engine bay. Some may actually be detrimental to performance since they are sucking in hot air from near the engine. These intakes should be combined with ducting of some sort to get the most from your 350Z.

• Review: I installed this intake system as my very first mod. I seem to wake up the engine grunt, and had a cool air sucking sound when throttle was applied. Combined with test pipes I achieved a 15whp gain over stock. Toykilla 02:37, 4 February 2007 (EST)
