Just installed my 5/16 Blox plenum spacer.After disconnecting the battery I didnt have to remove anything but the 10mm bolts, disconnected the intake from the plenum to be able to lift it and all hoses were still intact. I reused the 3 back bolts on the very top of the plenum and put them in the top front 3 holes as they were long enough with the large rubber washers provided in the pack. I put a dot a gasket maker in the rubber washers to help stay on the 6 top bolts. Make sure to take the 2 studs out that had nuts on them and replace with the bolts from the pack or you can back them out just enough yo get the original nuts back on,tightening them to the specified torque(If you tighten all the bolts and forget to attend to the studs, you'll end up with the famous whistle indicating a leak. Also remember to check that the rubber around the oil cap in not in between the plenum anywhere and you shouldn't have any air leaks. With a extension I hand tightened all of the bolts in the correct order , then nut driver then a final bump with the ratchet only using the weight of my hand instead of applying much force double and triple checking since one side being high will prevent the other side to torque down at the complete tightness.
So far I noticed my car wants to growl more when slowing down to a stop. There's more throttle response , it seems like I can push Rpms faster with the pedal. I usually get a sort of hiss sound around 5-5500 rpm, now I get it around 4500rpm. And one more thing is my car seems to 'free roll' a bit easier, not slowing down as fast as it was while not mashing the gas at all.
Glad youre happy with it! Yeah I had to do more steps because I replaced my OEM plenum gasket. Was all bent up and wouldnt seal properly.
Static 90 That more sensitive throttle/easier to get moving means more power. It's not your imagination.
I've seen that. In a more stock/mild application I would 100% say 5/16. But I'm revving to 7200 now and with breather mods more suited for upper rpm power so that's why I went with and my tuner (LMT) recommended 5/8

ah okay.
If you put the 5/8 you gain top end and loose bottomend
Can you honestly feel the difference from this spacer? I just bought a 03 G35 and I read that the 03 04 will benefit the most.
Yes I did. Felt it pull more up top
@@OPDrags sweet
Your right bro. 03 04 350z g35 will get the benefit.
I have a 03 G35 sedan, do you guys suggest to get that plenum spacer? If so what brand? I’ve been looking a lot at the Z1 motor sports one. What do you guys advice
Yeah your right bro. I have a code p1273 then install plenum spacer almost a year so far no code. Mine is 5/8 i notice the deference. Nice video and godbless
Do u know if 5/16 or 5/8 is better for the Blox brand??? People say 5/16 is better but that’s with Motordyne
The size has to do with where you want your power band to be. 5/16 is popular because it's the more daily driver setup. You'll get good low to mid range power and that's where you're usually at for daily driving. 5/8 is for mid to upper rpm power. So you wont feel as much down low which is what people usually want so they go with 5/16. As far as brands go, I'd go with blox or Z1. Motordyne is way overpriced
OPDrags thanks for the Info really helps, and I don’t think Z1 makes them I can’t find them, only the Blox one but Also I am skeptical bcuz everyone on the forums has mixed feelings about the Blox one but idk i just don’t want the plastic breaking off into my motor
As long as you dont over torque them youll be good!
No check engine light ?
Which is bigger 5/8 or 1/2 spacer? And for the install you just unbolt the top plenum bolts put some silicone on the top of the spacer, sandwich it in there, and bolt it down?
And do they come with extended bolts or do the oem fit?
5/8 is bigger and yes the kits come with the appropriate extended bolts. Yes I just added the gasket maker stuff on both ends of the spacer and tightened it shut.
Friend is selling me 1 for 40$ new should I buy
kush gottheju1ce2k Definitely
Did it come with a new upper gasket ??
It did not
Is the Blox still holding up?
TalonJH Gaming Yes it is
Thanks, that is good to hear.
What if my oem gasket is told old an I don’t have a new one do I have to put one on
Ive heard these change the sound of the intake noise. Do they at all? I love intake noises
Yes they would definitely make it a bit louder and more noticeable
Do you think they will melt ?
Nope it wont
Did you put rtv silicone on the bottom and top of the plenum spacer?
thingsforfree27 No only the top. Had the oem gasket for the bottom
Those it feel weird cause my feel weird after I installed it just wondering
bigtee saint no mine felt fine
What do I need in order to install this?
Probably just some rtv gasket maker helps. About it, kit comes with everything else
Can the strut tower fit after the 5/8 spacer,
r0mulyni2 No I don't believe the stock Z one will. Might have to add some spacers
OPDrags ok cool thank you
It will if you get the motordyne one it has spacers for the strut bar I have one it’s perfect
A lot of air, might need to put better injectors. Even with a tune it kinda not be equal
keanu Romero Yeah I don't think I'm anywhere near close to maxing them out. But I will be installing GTR injectors
you dont need bigger injectors until boost imo
Will this work on 2007 G35x S awd sedan
No it wont. You have the HR motor
@@OPDrags HR??
@@OPDrags I need help with my car.i just bought it.it has 120k.looks like the only thing done was the double DC cold air .. can you email me?
@@LosDaGhostGaming yeah the 2007-08 G35 sedans have the VQHR motors. The 03-07 coupes and 03-06 sedans have the VQDE motors
What help do ya need?
@@OPDrags a bunch.. just trying to connect with people.. New to the game I want to learn what I can do to start. Like easy cheap mods. Especially on saving gas.. Fuck think I'm doing like 13-15 mpg
Is it still holding up? I may just get this instead of z1 or motordyne
I dont have it anymore. I installed the kinetix velocity plenum. But while I had it, i didnt have issues with it. My stock plenum had messed up threads or something and it would never stay tight so I kept getting vacuum leaks. So I replaced everything for the velocity plenum
Should really post this after message
Does it come with a gasket?
No you just use the oem one for the bottom
