dcash5 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Too much Ian! Plus if you're thinkging of doing more mods in the future its pointless getting a remap now. You might aswell do all your bolt on mods then get it flashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben p Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Keep us updated with the difference in performance, think i'll be heading down there before to long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 id say its pointless getting a remap with a k&n, do it properly and get the rest of the mods first then the remap will make a real differance, or where u planning on getting a remap after every mod? expensive???

mic-39 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would have thought that Paul should be able to gain between 10 and 20 bhp. Reading what is said above there is some argument in waiting until you have your mods done but then again you will get the throttle restriction removed( saves the buying of a d1 throttle controller). The cone filter looses you power so the k&n panel filter should be good, really unless you are going to go down the plenum spacer, decats and expensive exhaust route and even at that you are talking minimal gains (5-7hp at most) you will notice an amazing difference when Paul has finished with your standard car. Its not standard mapping he uses but specific to your 350 and you may find as I did that the original map in the car was not achieving its full potential anyway. On a personal note I was not trying to squeeze every last bhp out of the engine but wanted to improve what I thought was an already good car Again dont be disapointed in the initial readings of the dyno as it has been said RS dyno reads low anyway. Its the difference in the readings from start to completion that counts and be prepared for your Z to do at least 20-30 power runs until Paul is happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I would say unless you have some very enclosed heat shielding with a decent cold air feed you will probably loose power due to just drawing in more hot air than with a std filter, had a short intake like K&N on my 350GT, i now have an extended intake with the filter down in the front bumper air intake, which helps intake temps. One reason cone filters can loose you power is down to the intake design inside, look for one with a radioused (trumpet like) intake, surprising how much difference this can make.

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 that will do then all Rev UP engined cars have the best airbox fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I've got the nismo r-tune extended intake which sits infront of the intake hole. Anybody had any reviews of power before and after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 So get a panel filter and you're good to go! 06+ airbox with performance airfilterNot meaning to hijack the thread in anyway but while where on the subject' date=' does anybody have any idea what induction kit produces the most power for the Z?[/quote'] Mine's 06 but it's the pre-facelift model.

showtime1 Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 sorry gt4 , after map made 283.5 it was running lean before so its not bad for a standard z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 That is not bad at all from standard DE car What was your pre tune Hp? i will suspect about 240hp so you have had a considerable gain + better torque, drivability and economy i would suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
