Ian Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I recieved a 2nd hand V4 Plenum this morning. Ive been reading through the installation instruction & I dont seem to have the Plastic Cooling Block. What does this look like? I may just be an idiot and have overlooked this. Looking at the pictures in the manual it looks like it sits between the Plenum & Throttle Body, is this right? Could this Cooling Block be used on a standard car or would it come off with the plenum? If I dont have one could I run without it, if not where can I get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 is it the V4 or V+ ? they changed the design on the V+ with no more cooling block. I have had both and on the V4 the block goes under the plenum, held by 2 screws, near the throttle body, basically under the plenum. When I took mine off, one screw had gone missing, but the problem is that you can't tighten them too much otherwise they crack the plenum... best design is the latest V+, tbh. The block comes with the plenum Also, with it being second hand, are you sure the cork seal is still ok, have you had it re-sealed by Kinetix?

Ian Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Ive been told its the V4, Is there anyway I can confirm this? Ive definatley not got an additional block with it though, Ive got all the screws & the only thing im not sure about is a sort of small metal tube with brass fittings either side? Its the little piece that is ontop of the plenum in your for sale thread - http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... ght=plenum Also what are those 4 metal bars for? Ive got them and have no idea what they are Not been resealed by kinetix, does that need to be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 take a pic of it and I'll tell you which 1 it is. sounds like it's a V4 with the V+ fittings then? will be your best option sounds like you hae a V+ to me The metal bars are there as spacers for the strut bar, as the new V+ needs them to fit under it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 Seems that the packaging covered up the lower parts My fault should have taken a better photo of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 so you have a V4 with strut bar spacers and latest cooling solution, with no plastic block? must have been half way through the V4 and V+ then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
