Kennydies Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Is about time i bought something else for my baby, was thinking of the induction kit. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/02-05-NISSAN-350Z ... dZViewItem Is that one ok as they go? How difficult are they to fit? Thanks Quote
janoof1 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 i saw this one too, but i dunno , it doesnt seem like a quality product- cheap though!!! i got a jwt kit from america the hardest part was removing the stock intake box- but once thats off its a dooddle- i had a spanner which was difficult , if you have a 90degree socket wrench your in business Quote
janoof1 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 took me about an hour , but i reckon you could do it 20 mins with the right tools Quote
Kennydies Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 dam it, must stay away from ebay, guess what i am buying next week... Quote
janoof1 Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 actually just noticed that this kit includes the long tube into the plenum - correct me if im wrong but isnt their a seller on her flogging just that tube for 90 notes !!!! this could be a real bargain Quote
max Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 just bought mine from bigphil full chrome pipe and k&n filter £185 inc delivery plus £25 if you want the heat sheild,check forum index general then couple of pics and it will show you it fitted to his car. max. Quote
bigphil Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 actually just noticed that this kit includes the long tube into the plenum - correct me if im wrong but isnt their a seller on her flogging just that tube for 90 notes !!!!this could be a real bargain On the ebay kit the shorter pipe goes to the plenum, this is very short so if you use it as a short ram then the filter has to sit under the strut brace. The filter is also very small and is only rated to 170bhp. If you also see the quality of the pipework in the flesh you will see why it is so cheap, The joiners also are plastic. Sorry guys but you get what you pay for, we were offered these and buying in just volumes of ten units we could buy this kit dor £18 each, says it all really. Quote
M13KYF Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 stay clear of the non branded ebay item. As phil says you get what you pay for. Stick witha good quality item and also beware that soemcheap ones can suck water into the engine with nasty results Quote
max Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I got my induction kit fitted this weekend at last. Pipework and filter was very easy to fit and once Bigphil sent a picture of the heat sheild that was easy to fit also. It makes the car sound a lot throatier and I can't wait to get the roof down. Tim I have learnt how to add my pictures I think but Karen still has to check my spelling. max Quote
lomoto Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 You've got a good teacher there max nice photos and I bet you cant wait for the Summer runs out now Quote
david0102 Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Hi guys, i have a 2005 350z gt pack, just enquiring a few questions really, i am thinking of fitting an induction kit to the car, what is the best make?, what modifications if any has to be done? and will you have to inform insurance company or does it affect insurance? Thanks Quote
Stew Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Try a search. Most popular are JWT popcharger and K&N Typhoon. This thread was last replied to over 2 years ago! Quote
davidmillzy Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Hi ive just ordered a K&N Gen 2 indution kit and the results are an extra 10 bhp with the results from K&N i could have ordered the Typhoon kit but only an extra 7-8 extra bhp gain and. Ill get some pics up once it on the car. Quote

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought induction kits didnt add any HBP at all on the zed as the ECU cancelled them all out....? Quote
davidmillzy Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Yeh thats what i thought But was told by the mechanic that the 350z ecu adapts to the changes to the car eg exhaust filter after a few days of being installed. You can speed up the process by disconnecting the cars battery for an hour after fitting the parts and then the ecu recognises the changes and incresed air flow. To be honest i just want the ind kit for the sound but if K&N are claiming an extra 10 bhp from there kit ill give it ago. K&N Claim the dyno'd the 350z with standard filter and it ran 280 bhp then dyno'd the car with ind kit it gained and extra 10 bhp. Quote
davidmillzy Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 I you Log on to - http://www.knfilters.com/search/appsearch.aspx and put in the details for your car and check the quotes. I suppose you would never know if you gained any bhp unless you did the dyno yourself. Quote

Interesting, I have not heard that before, the general thoughts on the forum is that the kits wont add anything but a nice sound, id be interested to hear anyone elses views Quote
