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....

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
