You're opening yourself up for major flaming bud, so beware

 

Lots go fir the JWT, and there's loads of info on it in the performance section

[rtbiscuit]

have a good search on induction kits, you won't really see much in gains, but you do gain a good sound. k&n are good so are popchargers and pipercross.

I have the JWT popcharger on mine, its a good piece of kit, reasonably priced, a heat shield comes with it, and Envy have them in stock i believe

[SunGodRA]

Very happy with my JWT - and I did notice a slight performance gain, but most people get it for the sound@4000rpm

guys howcome noone says anything about the RSK of HKS? imnot going to start wars now just want to know the pros and cons of each system from more experienced users here.

Depends on how much you want to spend.

 

The popcharger is the best intake for the money IMO.

Because the HKS is way more expensive than the others. To spend that much on an intake you may aswell buy the ARC box

We have most in stock, have a look here. http://www.z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?curr ... gory_id=17

Its 3 times more expensive, although it does come with a nice polished pipe to justify some of the extra cost.

 

The JWT performs better as a filter too.

Thank's guys. Thought so it was about price mostly although i wasn't really sure about it.

K+N Typhoon with a PopCharger filter!!

[sunset350z]

I've had the JWT which i bought brand new for £95 from Envy last year, that sounded and looked good. Then i bought a second hand K&N Gen2 for £120 off ebay, this came with the pipe as well which i liked even more and sounded just as good. So pick one you like the look of and if its expensive just see if you can pick one up second hand.

heres a pic with the JWT

and here's the one with the K&N Gen2

Just fitted a JWT during my lunch break! Cheap and cheerful from Envy with the club discount, looks the part and hopefully, I'll get to hear an improvement on my way home tonight.

[MSportUK]

Update: (sorry for double post). Gave the car some beans on the way home from work and good God, what a noise! Love it! Why don't they make them sound like that to start with?!!

 

Recommend the JWT for top howling noise and muchos VFM. Buy! Buy! Buy!

[sparky370z]

Sparky... just call Envy mate, they will help you out!

 

Also, if you search for Popcharger on here you will see a post with the prices.

 

Envy are pretty close to south london so you can go collect and they may just help you to fit it!

[rtbiscuit]

long term plan is to fit the apexi filter while using the k&N typhoon pipe work and air box etc. i used it on a previous car, and i like the filter. but prefer the apexi filter.

 

lots to choose from,

But, yeah, just give them a call. Fitting's a piece of cake. You just need a 10mm socket, something to bodge a hole in the plastic bit in the engine bay, a screwdriver and the ability to read some very simple instructions. I'm iffy about doing anything myself, but I did it in my lunch hour with no problems.

Silly question maybe but with open inductions for the 350Z's do they suffur much from heat soak from the engines?

I dont see them having heat shields or walls like the S2K's for example. Also where's the cold air feed coming from?

[cookiemonster]

Hey mate, the pop chargers will suffer from some heat soak when stationary but when your driving the air flow increases so its not much of a problem. The JWT does have a heat shield as does the HKS so that will help.

At the end of the day most peiople have them on for the noise and not so much about the performance as the OEM box is already awesome.

 

The air travels through a gap in the front of the bumper directly infront of the pop charger, well it does on mine anyhow not sure if there are differences between what year your car is and if its an import. Sure someone more knowledgable than me could tell you.

At least you guys have a decent front air feed. However I'd say get a sheet of mild stainless steel from B&Q and make your self a nice sectioned off area around the induction.

Looking at the engine bay pics, the 350Z does have enough space so shouldnt be too hard to do. You'll find a smoother ideling even at stand still if you can keep the heat out and even some more bhp gains.
