ric Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hi guys, Hoping to get my car remapped properly later on in the year. I've been doing some reading about what suits the 350 best, but wondered what your recommendations were in terms of items to purchase/install to make the UpRev more worthwhile? I've kept the standard air intake, and installed a HKS filter. My next purchases were going to be a plenum space (Can you guys fit these also?) and a full exhaust, in particular to replace the restrictive standard Y pipe. Do you suggest its worth getting any other bits? Or do you think the above should be a good combination? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Not got it yet, but I'm going with Akrapovic Evolution, Berk HFC's (highly reccommend) and perhaps a FI kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 stick as many bits on as your wallet allows pulleys, spacer, hfc's or testpipes xyz pipe dual exhaust (for sound) drop in filter (as you already have) good fuel or go fi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 RS don't often come on here so probably best giving them a buzz. I can supply you with everything you need to get the most out of your uprev. Catback exhausts ypipe back exhausts ypipes plenum spacer berk hi flow cats berk test pipes let me know if you need anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Which engine do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 3 main things are filter, y-pipe and decats/hi-flow cats, and plenum spacer is a nice to have. They get the biggest gains. Only thing you are missing from the list there are cat replacements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it noticeably give you more torque ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

introspect Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Just been to RS for the second time myself recently and had some bits fitted. Have a look here for my results http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=49141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Wow, cheers for all the responses guys! Mine is a 55 plate UK 350z, which I *think* means I don't have the rev-up later engine in. Out of interest, and this will probably sound stupid, what does "or go fi " mean? The responses were prity much what I expected. Question I guess is do I go for a true dual exhaust or a full exhaust and new Y-Pipe! (Is there much difference between the 2?) This only thing which concerned me with new cats etc was: 1/ Passing an MOT. I don't really want to have to swap things out for my MOT. Ive had a car previously which was a nightmare to MOT and know how much of a pain it can be. Would one of the options listed above still be fine for that? Do you guys think that it would be a noticeable difference to fit? 2/ Sound. Whilst I do want to squeeze a few extra horses out of the car, and a bit of extra grunt would be nice, I don't want it to sound like a rocket ship when i go down the road!! Am I being over cautious? Cheers in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony420z Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Fi = forced induction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 FI = Forced Induction 1/ The Hi Flow Cats (HFC's) will present no problem come MOT time, De Cats will. 2/ A bit overcautious, while the addition of HFC's and Exhaust will create a louder noise, usually this will only happen under load, normal/cruising driving won't be compromised. FI will make it louder again, all down to personal taste, best place to help you decide would be to attend a meet, usually no two Zeds are running the same kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Cheers for the information guys. Now to decide which exhaust to get Will try and get down to a meet too! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ric Posted May 8, 2011 Author Share Posted May 8, 2011 Well, its certainly an option. Years ago a little company in Macclesfield made me a completely custom exhaust, and seem to know their stuff. Might well pay them a visit and see what they can do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 My opinon , the best gain your get per pound on a DE motor is just fit a plenum spacer/Panel filter and a remap. After that fitting HFC's/Y pipe's etc etc will give returns but not as much as the 1st stage i.e fitting the plenum/remap. An exhaust isnt worth doing unless you have the front end of the exhaust sorted as the restriction in the exhaust is the Cats and Y pipe. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 An exhaust isnt worth doing unless you have the front end of the exhaust sorted as the restriction in the exhaust is the Cats and Y pipe. Music to my ears, HFC's and no Y pipe, Evolution system is straight through I'd be looking for a decent return on my set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 sorry to crap this thread but a 370 is different , this car has 2 set of Cats fitted as standard , fitting a exhaust system remove these 2nd cats so freeing up the exhaust flow. Fitting HFC's/decat's etc etc any give a few more BHP/Torque most of the gain comes from changing the exhaust and a remap on these cars.

ric Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 sorry to crap this thread Don't worry mate, all information is greatfully received, i'm sure by others also I'm going to have a look for exhaust systems to go with the plenum spacer, think HFC's and full system is needed! Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 The Evo system removes the secondary cats, or rather they're less restrictive, so all good Here's a bit of the blurb, "The Evolution system uses the same muffler as the Slip-On system. However, it also includes high-flow link pipes with integrated resonators and crossover tube that replace the entire exhaust system from the catalysts back."

garetgax Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 well weve got a 04 with hfcs and a k2 system plus a hks pop charger with polished pipe. The ce light keeps coming on even with the lambda spacers so looks like a re map is the only solution. If we are going to remap the car do I need to look at plenum spacer if so which one and will a y pipe make much difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
