intake project on the go

[frecklecolouredbrain]

if i were honestly going for "more" performance, i'd think about the shield. The reason I put it in was 1. for a little bit more-than-stock performance(which it has), and 2. It looks great and sounds RETARDED as i pull away from newer pathies at the green light.

How much power gain and did you notice any mileage difference?

[frecklecolouredbrain]

Its really hard to tell. When I outted the cat and stock fan, I noticed a huge difference. After the intake it felt like maybe 1/2 the increase I got from removing the fan and everything runs SO much smoother. Add in the look and sound of it and I'd say It a pretty good deal for $100. I probably won't get the full effect until I put on the pacesetters that are sitting in my storage room. But that will have to wait until I don't need the truck for a few days. All in, I've taken about 2.5 seconds off of the stock acceleration times, and the low-end torque feels a bit better. I plan on putting it an a dyno to see what i'm getting at the wheel, before I decide whether I want to go forced induction or not. That's next summer's project.

 

I'm curious to see how you got the 300zx engine in there. I wanted to, but I thought I wouldn't fit with the DOHC and all the extra piping. Did you swap ECU's for fuel mgmt.

Early 300s had SOHC like ours.

I think james just swaped the engine for its lower mileage and kept is tbi setup on top of it.
