Kinetix Racing V+ Intake Manifold Plenum

[Tko512iFX]

Any opinions on this intake manifold/hp gains etc???

the Kinetix intake will be only good is you went forced induction (FI) like a super charger.

go with a plenum spacer better.

that one should be good. similar to a plenum spacer it wil give you similar gains. gto has a crawford plenum that is similar.

the only gripe I have with this one is the "notch" across the plenum for a 350z strut tower bar. otherwise its should help put in the mid-upper end of the power band.

do you think it is compatible with stillen cai w/ztube?

 

[theMerchant]

of course, it wont change any of that....

let me dig up a pic for you ...

Kinetix V+ is good, Kinetix SSV is the less liked one. Crawford also makes an upper plenum. Spacer will give you roughly the same result, but with a new upper plenum, you can have the inside smoothed down more.

I will have the Kinetix V+ and Stillen Z-Tube on Friday. I will check back.

Thanks for the input!!! I look forward to seeing your results Stellanti!

[gto]

Yay! that must be an old shot. A little clean in there

 

[Tko512iFX]

GTO how do you like this setup?

Did a lot of research on this when I was looking to improve aspiration. If you go FI (turbo or supercharger) then I would go with a new upper plenum (APS, Crawford, Kinetix).

I personally went with a spacer - but there are a bunch or brands out there. Most popular is the Motordyne:

But if I had it to do over again, I think I might try this one from Z1 just to be different. I also like the concept of this spacer - angled to improve air to front cylinders since the throttle body is further away. Plus - this one is less expensive.

i have had the BLOX spacer for about 2 years. it was under a $100 thren and still is. Zero issues, i mean it is just a piece of material-nothing special. I am sure it was just copied from the big companies
