Hi guys,

I'm interested in getting a Jim Wolf Technology Pop Charger and 350z intake tube.

As it is, the JWT Pop Charger is an american product, and I've been searching around for an online store that will ship to oz but haven't had much luck.

I was wondering if:

a) Any of you guys know of a good parts web site to shop from - (excluding japanparts.com)

b) Has anyone installed these onto their v35's? What has been your experience with these or similar products.

Thanks in advance,

Damien

Hey mate

I get most of my stuff through traders on G35Driver.com.

For my intake, I've got a HKS Premium Suction kit. The car does breethe better and they sound great, but not sure if you would actually get any notable power gains, if thats what your after.

Cheers

all the evidence on g35 driver indicates that intake mods of ANY kind don't do anything for peak power, just increase intake noise.. if that floats your boat..

if i were you i woudn't waste my money. you can throw a high-flow panel filter in there for $100 and you'll be laughing

Are you sure mate?

I frequent g35driver.com also.

I've seen independent dyno sheets from stock cars before and after installs of the JWT Pop Charger with an increase of 6.5 hp atw.

I know that figure sounds a little high, but i was hoping for "some" kind of small improvement.

Thanks,

Damien

feel free to post them up here..

that is, dyno sheets from the same dyno on the same day immediately after without an ECU re-set

This is direct from the JWT web site - so probably biased.

I will look around for more tomorrow.

Don't expect to notice much performance increase.

I'm off to bed, tired!

I have both. I got them from everythingg35. They will ship to Aus, but for some reason their shipping costs they quoted was over $150 US. I got them shipped to a mate who was over there at the time and he brought them back in his suitcase. I had no luck trying to find one in Aus.

What I can tell you from my own experience in my sedan with no other mods at all when I put it on, not saying it will be the same for you:

* The Z-tube own it's own does jack all. No sound difference, no power difference. I was driving around with it for a month before I put on the pod filter.

* The JWT Pod filter - i put this on with the z-tube(I didn't bother trying it on it's own). With this combination, whatever gains I was meant to get are NOT noticeable. I sometimes do think that the car is going great, but I can't honestly say that I would attribute it to the new intake. For me 6hp is nothing anyway, so I wouldn't buy it expecting to feel the difference. No I haven't dynoed it before and after, why would you bother if you can't feel it in the first place? You do get that growl thing they all cream themselves over at g35driver over 4000 revs(meh it's ok...), but I found it also added quite a bit of rasp. Interested to know if others get this rasp too. There is no sound difference at idle, you literally hit 4000revs and then you get a different sound.

However - I can tell you that the JWT Pod is fantastic quality. It is MUCH larger than I expected it to be (about the size of your head!) and it looks great. It's not made of plastic like others i've dealt with, it's chunky metal. I would buy it again on this basis alone.

Experiences might differ with headers, exhaust, ecu - not there yet!

Also just to help out other members, if your are going to go to the trouble of buying stuff from over in the states, might want to post a new EOI thread so you can save on shipping, etc.

There is a guy selling them on US ebay for around $250 US delivered to oz.

  • 4 weeks later...

i bought one from ebay... great quality and fast shipment too... took less than an hour to install.... very easy and basic....

with mine there was a huge sound change.... the intake noise is VERY loud....... alot of people have said it sounds really nice too!!! =D

the top end speed i noticed is a lil faster... never dyno n feel a very big diff in power.... just get it for the noise! ;) oh... there was a whistle noise as well... xD dont know if ppl get it... =| love the sound of that too ... :blush:

Carefull the "whistle" noise would be a bad seal. Double check your connections.

reallly =O oh gosh... i best check mine tm mornin =x thx paul...

heres the link...

Impulse buy.......

I'll do a dyno of this part when i get it

that is the actual real item

hey maybe i can organise a group buy on these items? if get a few people interested?

could choose between jim wolf or the Stillen

i personally am leaning towards the stillen, as i have been chatting to a few guys over on g35driver and a few of them said that the stillen is the only one when tested, which actually had colder air intake temps

the dollar is not bad right now - hovering around the 71 mark....

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
