injen intake
ive read that there is no such thing as a short ram on the 300z, can someone please give me some insight on the injen short ram. i was thinking of getting it but not too sure if i'll have to put in a maf adapter for the cone

It already has a maf adaptor... Short rams are shit, and only for na engines that need air rammed into the motor. On a turbo car they are useless, not to mention the relocating of the intake results in hotter intake air temp. Which is very bad you want the intake air as cold as possible for max power!
|
Short ram intakes are a scam. All the kit is in that link are hard pipes to the TB's and a MAF adapter. I wouldn't waste a dime on anything engine related, other then to improve mpg or reliability on an N/A z32.
|
i just got the car and it still has the factory airbox and the air filters are almost straight up black, i didnt want to spend money on the airbox so i was just going to put in a cone, it didn't seem like it had the maf adapter on it. what intake would you recommend on putting on then?
|
Just replace the filters with good ones, if it's a na an aftermarket filter won't make a noticeable difference...
|
yeah its an na, not even a pop charger will make that much of a difference?
|
Don't listen to Mrmoose - there are noticeable gains for an NA.
And get JWT POP. It performs better than all others, and costs the same (or often less). |
so should i just leave the stock pipes on there and get a pop?

You can honestly say an average driver will notice a difference on a na car just by upgrading to a jwt huh? I never said there were no gains, just no noticeable diff with JUST a filter. Besides a Mildy louder car and slighty, oh so slightly better gas mileage a filter won't do squat he could notice.
P.S. Only a narrowminded ricer would think that peak horsepower is the only useful benefit of a modification... the fatter powerband (and thus more responsive engine) is a real-world noticeable benefit of a less restrictive intake. |
Ok we shall see, get the jwt filters bud. Keep us posted and let us know if you feel a difference.
|
i got a '95 n/a, with 95k miles on it, it was in a storage for the past couple years before i got it. im getting the transmission swapped to a manual hopefully next month, a lot of people have been saying to just sell it and get a tt but i want to keep it. not really sure what to work on first
|
If you are looking to modify for power, sell it and get a tr for sure. If you just want a nice car I would say keep it, put a good suspention set up on it and drive the crap out of it.
|
its in such good condition that id feel robbed if i sold it.

I can find much more testimony than this - http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg...&forum=general Increases in performance due to the ECU, intake, and exhaust are certainly noticeable, however they are completely overshadowed compared to any upgrades in a TT. I had an NA for 7 years, and went from stock to all the bolt ons. [...] I would recommend going with the ud pulley, single pop intake, and a master cylinder brace. I think these parts give the best all around driveability and performance improvements for your dollar. Gains on a TT are obviously more substantial (there's even a 20rwhp gain on an otherwise stock TT by going from single POP to dual POP), but that doesn't imply that the NA's gains are not noticeable. |
zlover thanks for the links, thats exactly what i was looking for but just couldnt find it, i appreciate all the help

Yeas an you who has never worked on a na z32 should have all the answers... The holset on my ranger has been used on the z31 with great success, similar to the gt30r turbocharger. And I asked opinions not "should I put on"
and again about the gains I was talking about a filter only, obviously gains are noticeable when more than a few are done... |

The first philosophical imperative is to not speak about things of which you have no knowledge. I'm pretty sure you don't know shit about me, and you don't know much more about NA Z32s. :) |

Has anyone tried a short ram air intake with the JWT POP? I have recently aquired a 93 N/A and love it (my first z). I have done some research on the venturi effect in my Machine Design Class, and i understand how it can increase the efficancy of air flow. The POP is a on its way, but is it a good idea to combo it with an intake? Thanks
