Kinetix Plenum Install

[ab350z]

Folks, installing my Kinetix Plenum and JWT popcharger today and I've hit a bit of a brick wall.

Following the excellent instructions in the guide I've just reattached the throttle body to the new plenum and sat it in place but I notice that the Kinetic Plenum seems to be missing a few hose connections around the throttle body compared to the oem plenum.

Any help?

Cant help I'm afraid but...

 

Give Phil@ESR or Kev/Gav@Envy a shout, they will help you out

On the Kinetix V+ plenum , you dont hook up the hoses to the plenum, from memory I think you should have a joining pipe to bypass the connection to the plenum, Not got my car handy at the mo so cant be more help

does this photo help ?/

I'm sure it's some kind of oil feed. I think there are two jubilee clips and a connector that you hook up and it makes a loop....

 

 

Fitted mine a good while ago so could be wrong!

[Stew]

Tim beat me but we said the same thing!

 

 

Surely we both can't be wrong! :lol:

[ab350z]

Guys, spot on, just found it rolling loose in the box. Perfect. Stu, you in westhill today?

[Stew]

In Inverurie in the office Chris.

 

Here until 7!

 

then going out on my motorbike if if's ok after work!

[ab350z]

No no no, something is not agreeing!

All connected up, battery back on, turn key and it revs to 3k before spluttering off. Checked everything and cant see the issue.

[Stew]

You're right. Something is not correct!

 

Must be an air/fuel mixture problem....

[GIXXERUK]

Ecu reset ? check you can't hear air leaking, check the connection on the maf

[ab350z]

yeah Maf is on fine, just checked all hoses and screws to plenum and popcharger. my dad said some fluid shot up from under the throttle body when i first started it.

1) Make sure you haven't trapped the oil filler cap gasket in the plenum

2) Do the ECU reset

3) Do the throttle position sensor reset

 

Does that work?

[Stew]

I'd also check the link for joining the pipes mentioned earlier Chris.

[ab350z]

is there a guide on the throttle position sensor reset? ecu reset didnt do it

[ab350z]

ecu and throttle reset not worked, away to strip it back and start again!

[H5]

Have you securely fitted the MAF sensor into the pipe on the Popcharger, and made sure it is connected properly? That is the last thing I can think of other than what has been listed....

[ab350z]

Yeah made a point of checking that cos i've screwed that bit up before when i fitted a CAI to a previos car. It sounds really bubbly when i give it some gas after starting, def doesnt sound healthy!

[H5]

Have you taken it for a short drive? It can take some time to settle down, and I had to reset mine 3 times before it settled.

 

Ah, final check, have you got the aircon on? With it off, Zeds can idle quite lumpy.

[ab350z]

With it off? Air con was off, as was stereo. might roll it out the drive and see if it'll drive round the street. doesnt sound good at all. i'll have a go and come back in a bit.

[Stew]

If you get totally stuck and are still at it when I finish work I can have a look if you want ? I'm not mechanic but 2 numpties has to be better than one!

[ab350z]

Cheers Stu, Scott Green has just turned up! So surely that now puts me at a negative mechanical knowledge! He's just getting in the way!

[H5]

No, turn the aircon on.

[M13KYF]

sounds more like one of the pipes is connected wrong or perhaps bunged up with some packaging

[ab350z]

No joy after a trial run, and a strong smell of burning! Away to start from scratch again.
