craigy hardcore Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Hi guys... I've been a massive Honda Head for around 4 years now so everything I know is Honda Talk.... On my travels around the forum I've seen words such as Popcharger and Plenum Spacer.... can someone please translate this please lol... I believe a Popcharger is an induction kit/filter of some sort and I think I may actually have one on my car now that I've seen a picture. Are there many different makes of Popcharger or is a Popcharger a device made by a company called Popcharger? I'll post a pic of my engine bay when I get home and you can let me know what I have.. as for Plenum Spacer I have no idea... can someone shed some light Thanks Craig Quote
martinmac Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Pop charger is basically an American name for a cold air induction kit. There are quite a dew available from the traders. Its very much down to personal preference and budget. Quote
martinmac Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 And this is better than I could explain; You will definitely feel this one. The stock plenum slopes down towards the front of the engine. Nissan designed this in order to clear the stock strut bar and hood on the 350Z (function after form). This sloping design restricts the airflow to the front cylinders, but an aftermarket plenum can help the front cylinders breathe. Aftermarket plenum spacers either increase the overall height or remove the downward slope in the design, allowing more volume and greater airflow to all cylinders. Higher airflow is needed to achieve more power. Note: Some plenum spacers will cause you to loose the stock strut bar. Quote

craigy hardcore Posted May 21, 2009 Author Posted May 21, 2009 Oh my... Lol, this is like reading dutch! So am I right in saying that a Plenum Spacer, Popcharger and a free flowing exhaust system is a good place to start modding my 350? Probably the same thing I'd of done with a civic really Quote

nurrish Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 At the end of the day we were all newbies once and once you get into the swing of things you will soon be telling people that they need spacers and need it lowering Quote
