Willsy1980 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Has anyone got any views on these https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/intakes/throttle-bodies/20913-370z-afe-power-takeda-silver-bullet-throttle-body-spacer-46-36007.html Do they work ? Any benefit on the Nismo ? Im looking to do all possible bolt-ons before a remap, are these worth the money ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 They scream electric supercharger to me, but proven gains are proven gains. I suspect those gains are likely with supporting mods though, and I can think of better places to spend £300 (lighter exhaust, for example). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilogikal1 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Proven is subjective. If in doubt, just ask VW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was a bit sceptical of the claims, I have the full Z1 intake. Buying HFC's this weekend. Got short-tails on. Pondering the plenum swap and these before a remap, think that's about all I can do before its a case of bolting some boost to it etc. So feeling is, can't do any harm but a pricey risk for potentially nothing in return.

Willsy1980 Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Following on from this, once ive done the do. For the EcuTek tune, do I go to Horsham, Abbey or RS tuning in Leeds ? Do any of them get different results, or is an EcuTek an across the board type thing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 They’re all good, I’d go to whichever is closest in case you need to go back there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Did you consider Headers? I heard they change the signature sound. Any gains to he had from changing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any gains to he had from changing it? Im sure there are gains to be had changing the headers, but i think the work involved out weighs the worth doing them. Im considering the aftermarket plenum, but that may be after the remap and then get it tweaked again if I do. It will get to the stage where I may as well just save up and go FI.....

Willsy1980 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Had a quote for RS Tuning £545+Vat sounds cheap, sure there are loads of add-ons on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Ecutek map? You going to get the IPAD etc? or too much?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the App works on Android now so will pop it on my phone. I have an Ipad but its a little too big to mount without major dash mods, dont really want to do that. But yeah thats the EcuTek map with all features apparently. Grabbed the HFC's today so once they are on i'll decided on the silver bullets. Then map time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Just a holder or magnetic holder...Yep no need to rip console out. Apple car play android is a bit of an effort so is the braniac. Apparently the apple car play like for like replacement is slightly easier and leaves it looking oem. But yeah with the new rules regarding pads and phones a bit of a hairy area. Edited July 18, 2022 by GranTurismoEra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive seen the mod where the entire waterfall is chopped up and the Pad goes in, its a bit OTT for me to do that. Im pinning all hopes on the Android app having the same features as Ant's. As long as I can swap maps, and see the temps etc, i'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
