Cold Air Induction / New Ecu & Tune - M35

[Bis-e Bee]

A cold Air intake system on your car will cost $790. (NM35 2001)

I spose that isn't too bad, if the system gives good results.

We can also piggy back an aftermarket ecu and boost controller plus tune for $3000.

woah, that sounds pretty over the top, unless they are using a top of the line ECU / Boost Controller.

Just some food for thought, if anyone wants to know who quoted me this as you are interested send me a PM

EDIT 1: I've just emailed them asking what brand/model products they would use for this fitout.

FYI, I'm still talking to the chap who was going to do the tune on "project axis"

Says he's almost ready (99%), but needs to source a CPU ex Japan as backup insurance. I believe I saw a couple on Importmonster this evening, and there was also mention of a half cut import being brought to WA. The ECU should be available shortly.

He's talking a whole lot less that that figure.

As a matter of interest, I found a company that says it can address the slow launch on drive by wire cars.

This is a small part of the tune offered by the tuner mentioned above.

I'll let you know how it goes when we move forward.

I was quoted today $1500 for a Haltech Interceptor and Dyno tune. I thought this sounds quite reasonable.

Don't our cars already have a cold air intake? That is why the intake sits above the radiator for air under the front lip of the bonnet.

Ok, sounds like the Powerduct at $180 would be a good buy.

Only for the lazy people like me!!

[[[d a n n y]]]

how about a power duct group buy lol

I built an additional cold air supply for $5.

For $3000 you could get a Vipec to replace your ecu rather than just a piggy back system.

[Bis-e Bee]

Yeah, I thought they were having themselves on.

I'll await the reply as to what products they have quoted on using, that will provide even more of a laugh I think

CAI for $790? Sounds expensive. Further info?

eg does it include a pod filter? any cutting in the engine bay performed? Is it legal?

Piggyback ecu for $3000? I think I know who you have been talking to.

I believe that they use the Haltech 350z Platinum as a piggyback in that particular install.

You would be better off buying an eManage Ultimate with additional sensors and get you turbo hiflowed for that kind of money...

Unless it is a ViPEC install & tune

i have the ECU, wanna swap for a hi-flow turbo joke

but those prices are........... not economically viable

I thought you could put it in yourself? Am I wrong about this?

Cam put a pipe underneath the airbox, unfortunately thats where I placed the catch can. Im making an alloy powerduct today, hopefully it looks better than just leaving the hole open.

[zei20l]

so move the catch can

You would think it would be that easy wouldn't you?

Suuuuuuure.

Maybe you could move it to the other side Scotty?

No room, even tried to fit it next to battery. I have a love hate thing happening with this car, but I like a challenge. Its why I keep buying "Jap crap".

[zei20l]

Hey Cam,

I noticed your link mate... one question in the first photo your air filter is blue... mine is pink... hahaha

I'm guessing colours don't make a difference here? But I'm going to try out what you said about the rest... Good work! ahaha

I thought you were going to ask "one question" Lachlan.

My filter is an Amsoil Nanofibre filter which I find to be quite good.

Most of the pink ones are from a general service and are throw away items.

Colors don't make a difference at all, but wha the filter is comprised of makes ALL the difference

[macdog]

Haha, sorry Cam. Got a bit ahead of myself.

Ok, I took the airbox panel off a while ago.

But the other part will hopefully be done this weekend...

is there anything else I can do to make my stag go harder that isn't to do with electrical?

http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/0/f/S/ag_07shelbygt_coldair.jpg is that illegal?

Something like this could go well! hahaha http://www.torquenstein.net/viper_for_sale...ir%20Intake.jpg
