Motordyne ART Pipes. Can Helmholtz Resonance Be Utilized to Make More Power? Having taken a break from busting fuel treatments to find that the G-Tech is surprisingly accurate (April, '10), and settle the lightweight flywheels/torque debate (May, '10), you can imagine how sadistically happy we were when we caught wind of these products from Motordyne: ART (Advanced Resonance Tuning) test pipes and resonated Shockwave V2 exhaust, designed to increase power over traditional aftermarket alternatives by using chambers that trigger Helmholtz resonance to aide in exhaust gas scavenging for increased power. Shyeah . . . and that rich Nigerian prince who keeps emailing us about cashing his inheritance check is totally legit. Now, Helmholtz resonance is a scientifically proven phenomenon. The property can be demonstrated with a glass bottle: As air is blown across the top of the bottle, some enters it, is momentarily compressed, and then surges outward at a slightly faster rate than it went in, creating a vacuum that draws more air back into the bottle to continue the process. Proof of this oscillation of air can be heard in the tone or frequency emitted by doing so. In the case of the products at hand, exhaust gasses are blown across built-in resonance chambers, and the frequency of pressure waves created therein pushes exhaust gas through the tubing and out into the atmosphere. Now, if Motordyne has one thing working toward their credit, it's that they're by no means an upstart company. Remember the plenum spacers that have become mainstays in 350Z tuning for their simple, low-buck design and solid power gains? Turns out Motordyne owner Tony Colette was a rocket scientist in his previous profession (no, seriously-he was), and he invented those. "Not only will the resonance chambers increase scavenging and power," Tony promises about his new products, "but the titanium tips on the Shockwave exhaust also reduce pressure drop by gradually expanding the exhaust gas to recover its dynamic pressure," which, he claims, also helps increase scavenging. Exhaust tips for power? We were really looking forward to the dyno. To test Motordyne's claims with its ART products, we gathered Ken Kojima's '06 Nissan 350Z, equipped with a reputable "Brand X" test-pipe and exhaust, to the Dynojet rollers of Yimisport Tuning in Santa Clarita, CA, where it was baselined, then tested with Motordyne's ART pipes and resonated ShockWave V2 exhaust in place of its original aftermarket vendible. With Motordyne's ART test-pipes and resonated Shockwave V2 exhaust installed, gains as high as 9.4 whp and 17 lb-ft of torque were found throughout the '04 350Z's powerband-impressive, considering we were already testing against proven aftermarket upgrades, but Tony wasn't happy. Ken's car had been fitted with a cone filter/short-tube intake that, he suspected, was wreaking havoc on the car's MAF sensor, triggering the unusually rich air/fuel ratios throughout the duration of testing. Tony promised his products were good for even more power, and arranged an '07 Nissan 350Z (Rev-Up) as a second test car to prove it. With its factory flat-panel air filter and box installed on the '07 350Z, testing re-commenced. Replacing the car's stock cat-back exhaust with Motordyne's Shockwave V2 produced as much as 22.7 whp and 17.9 lb-ft of torque at points in the powerband, and where the "Brand X" test-pipes produced as much as 23.3 whp and 31.8 lb-ft of torque over the stock cats at some points, Motordyne's ART test-pipes increased their output by an additional 11.2 whp and 29.7 lb-ft of torque at varying rpm. Air/fuel ratios stayed in their normal range this time, and power gains-as promised-were more plentiful. The Verdict: Fact Tested on two different cars, with two (slightly) different engines, compared to two different aftermarket manufacturers' conventional products, the gains by which Motordyne's resonance-chamber-equipped products increased power were definite. Now, you might be wondering what would happen if a different exhaust is used with the ART test-pipes, or if the Shockwave V exhaust would make power with the stock cats. Would the difference in airflow throw off the whole system and negate power gains?' "Think of blowing across that bottle," explains Tony. "If you blow harder, with more air, the frequency doesn't change but the volume or amplitude does. It's the same here. More air means even more resonance and more scavenging." Still, what happened in our first test? "350Zs have a problem with certain short-tube intakes," explains Tony. "Depending on their design, we think they direct air toward the car's MAF sensor a certain way that triggers an improper injection of fuel, which decreases power." He continues, "It's a well-documented problem, but as far as I know, no one's ever gotten to the bottom of it." Sounds like we have a topic for next month. www.superstreetonline.com/how-to/engine/impp-1006-nissan-350z-motordyne-fact-or-fiction/

Meticulous record keeping increases value of the car.

As front struts and shocks go, I will always go Bilstein! They're a really good upgrade for anything you put them on! And I'll still have like $2K for other things!🤑😊
Motordyne G35. Dude, I really love your car (except that it's black - not my preference ;-)) but it is really great (IMO) all around. I believe you want to turbo later on and I fully agree with you; that'll make it even more amazing. I do have ONE small comment though and don't take this the wrong way ok, but you really MUST get the JDM surround trim for the double-DIN stereo in center console - the one you have now is not up to par with an Infiniti finish. I respect that you've not been afraid to spend $ on the best performance parts but the trim you have just makes it cheap, you know? I've seen those before and believe me, you'll appreciate the JDM much more. Otherwise TY for the vids - always super-informative. Cheers
Jeoka Gem .....I did the install myself and I know, the JDM trim piece is still on my list. After some new Work wheels and OG duck bill trunk, then the JDM trim piece. No offense taken, thanks for the feedback.
People just Love to Hate! This guy bought his car Brand New and has taken Immaculate care of it since that day! He is sharing HIS opinions on what HE thinks is the best for HIS car and budget! Be happy for him or anyone else that take this level of care and pride in their vehicles! That's what it's Really like to be a Car Guy! Not the constant trashing of others!
I had some questions that i posted yesterday. Seems to have disappeared. I'm impressed with your car and build. You've had this car for 12 years? Amazing.
That exhaust sounds good man.. above average.. costs above average too. I've owned both the g37 and g35 now. Do you agree that the g37 has a better looking front and the g35 has a better looking rear?
I had a 2013 G37x sedan and actually prefer the G35 in every way. The only real advantage the G37 has is the heightened technology with the Navi / Stereo / Car interface. But for those of you who really care about good audio, the G35 BOSE Version sounds much better than the muddy, sloppy BOSE system in the G37. My old 2006 Trailblazer had a better stereo than this joke of a system in the G37! lol
@@1970borntorun I think both stereos were garbage. I had top of the line kicker Q series 6x9's and a little hard hitting 10 inch sub. installed in the g35 With focal speakers in front. I spent about 2 grand on the install and that was a nice sounding system. Only reason I would hesitate to get a stereo like that again is cause i was constantly killing my battery. All i had to do was have the car in the on position with out the engine running for about 15 minute and the amps would suck the battery dry. That was with only about 900 watts (RMS) of power too so not even very much. Other than that there was no downsides and the car sounded amazing. I build a frame enclosure to hold my subwoofer in the trunk so i could slide the tires around corners with out the sub bashing around.
the preview pic he used for the video was a guys g35 from arizona up in the valley his name is christain..that car was a beauty he rolled my fenders on my altima sedan when i had it i still see him on the AZVQ group he dosnt have the car anymore he sold it to some dude in vegas..shit was nice tons of mod..cool guy too
yo man, I've just recently started watching your videos and damn I'm kind of proud that you're in AZ too haha. I just got my g35 like 2 months ago too. keep up the good work!
Cynthia bias ....I've been pulled over in Virginia and they took my radar detector. You are correct, but it is known in Virginia it is illegal. That is why I purchased the stealth radar after Virginia took my old radar detector. Bottom line, the west coast is where real freedom is in America. On the east coast, states along with old people are still stuck in their ways, not willing to change.
Bought my g35x sedan for 3000 with 100k on the motor. Everything is in great shape, but I dont wanna spend almost what I paid for the car on a mod. Already have a nice catback exhaust, should I just go with a plenum spacer, test pipes, and new air filter? Seems like my best cheapest options.
He would be correct, short headers make no power. PPE long tube headers is what I was going to get. When I was at my tuner, he was impressed by the Motordyne ART pipes/Shockwave. He told me, PPE long tube headers would not be worth it. I asked why? He pulled up a dyno graph from another rev-up motor with PPE long tube headers and he overlay-ed it with my curve. The curve was basically identical. PPE long tube headers you will get a bunch of rasp and drone into the exhaust and no more power than you get with ART pipes. I'm in talks with Motordyne to test out their new long tube headers. The collector is down further than they are on the PPE long tube headers. My tuner said, very interesting design and he bets they will make power. I'm like Tony over at motordyne has never lied, so I'm sure they will do what they say. Plus you get the helmholtz chambers to add on the motordyne long tube headers. This will address the rasp and drone issue. I"m interested for sure. They are confirmed to fit the 370z, but not a G35 yet.
Nice... I will start to finally work on my G... We have similar mods as far as power, except I need the tdx Exhaust... I bought the car with stick exhaust which has a maganaflow axleback only lol...horrible... I say stock or motordyne is best. I have the the furookie 3.5 inch intake with Nwp TB's, I also went with nonstoptuning lightweight pulleys instead of goin underdrive. I plan on doing KW V3 or, kparlett's g35 is rocking BC type coilovers for the track but his version are as much as kw... So idk... Maybe ill stick with KW. Last addition I'll get during exhaust switch out will be the full CF driveshaft. But yeah, this is what I've been wanting to do for all while, so seeing your mods done, I look forward to getting mine done and being at that similar power level. Mines not rev up tho
kparlett's g35.......I just youtubed that and holy shit is that channel awesome! I just clicked subscribed. Let me research what you are talking about on the BC's. KW's v3 are designed for 75-90% street use, but a guy did a complete review on superstreet on how it cut down is lap time by 2 secs, just from changing to KW. For a car that is 99% used for the track, KW's spring rates will be too soft.
Yeah that's my predicament lol. My Z is set for the track, but I might want similar track settings just because ...but then I know for the daily comfort feel, I'll want KW. KParlett also has the IG I follow. That's where I asked about his coilover set up
For the dyno tune on just the N/A mods, it's not really worth it, if your going to get a dyno tune, you might as well just supercharge or turbo your VQ35 first
Worth every penny. If I would have supercharged or turbo the motor it would not be running perfectly at 178,000 miles. Rod would have shot through the block by now. The motor was never made for boost and to make the vq be able to handle boost with forged internals will cost 10k along with boost kit. Send me the cash homie and I will do it your way.
Hmm.. this list seems to be a little bias to the parts you have bought for your car not necessarily best mods for the car. Nevertheless it's a decent list of parts. If you're really interested in making it fast I would start with tires, It seems like you have continental extreme contact. While they are Ok for daily use, if recommend switching to Bridgestone potenza re071r. It is the equalvient of switching from the Invidia exhaust you had to motordyne. Loads of grip to inspire more confident driving. They will wear out faster depending on your driving but it's worth it imo. Next should be brake pads/ calipers. This upgrade is dependent on your driving style/ budget but almost anything is better than the stock brake pads. As for the radar detector, ehh instead of spending $500 on one I'd rather just follow the law/ speed limit. But like I said earlier, all of the parts you listed seem to all be top quality parts which I like. Keep up the good videos. You should get into some auto x or road course if you're not already.
I'm curious, could you please provide a list of better parts? Lol.......I've had bridgestones, and pirelli p zeros. The tire you are referring too has no warranty and a treadwear rating of 200. Your exhaust comparison is not even close to a good analogy, they are completely different by producing dyno results and the emotion with an exhaust note. The reason I went with the continental extreme contact is for a multiple reasons. I"m tired of my tires going bald after 15,000 miles and no warranty. 285/35/19 tires are not cheap at $400 per tire from Pirelli. I hate 200 treadwear tires, gravel spits up on the paint and they go bald fast. Continential extreme contact DWS 06 is the first 285/35/19 tire I have seen with a 540 tread wear ratting and a 50,000 mile warranty on their tire. When the tires go bald around 30,000 miles this time, I get a discount on top of getting a longer life out of the tire. On my youtube channel, I've been to eagles canyon raceway or what you call the track. I have track experience and I"m talking from experience. These are good tires for the street, where my car lives. Thanks for watching my channel, hopefully this doesn't offend you. The higher the tread wear number, the longer the tire will last. Yes, it is because the tire is stiffer. On the street, it does not matter at all. These tires are actually impressive for that treadwear rating and have plenty of reviews out there to back it up on the web. IMO 200 tread wear tires, all of them. I felt no difference at all on the street with Continential extreme contact DWS 06, which has a 540 treadwear rating. You can still take corners at unbelievable speeds with no tire squeal. Go KW v3's.
Thank you for the rare, intelligent, detailed explanation of your G35 Mods !! 98% of the time on TH-cam, we have some idiot 24 year old that slaps on twin turbos, Nitrous, etc then wonders why his engine explodes 2 days later LOL The Wanna-Be Paul Walker mentality is still very real lol
Hi, I think your videos r very informative and interesting . I was wondering if you still run the same Passport radar detector and how it would work in Canada.
With the arc pipes, does that mean you don't have cats? I'm not a tree hugger but would like to run as clean exaust as I can and still have performance increased. They do sound amazing.
Philip Holman ....Motordyne ART pipes means no CATS. Remember P0420 is a bad CAT code. CATs always fail, especially HFC after about 2-3 years. Motordyne ART pipes never fail, last forever.
Hey, great videos!!! I have a question, you mention ART pipes and The exhaust, but you don’t mention the headers. Are you running stock headers? If so, did you just think headers weren’t worth it??? Motordyne Shockwave exhaust and ART pipes are the set up I want to get, but I’ve been debating if I wat to buy headers (probably stillen) or not bother with the headers. Thank you!
Erick Quezada ....headers are a known waste of money unless long tube headers, but ART pipes have been proven to make same power as PPE long tube headers. So ART pipes with Motordyne Shockwave is the best combo. No need for long tube headers which will also bring rasp and drone into the exhaust system. I looked at Stillen shorty headers a long time ago and after talking with my tuner, I decided not to do it.
Motordyne G35 awesome! Thank you very much for your reply. I’m actually using my tax return to buy my parts. And I was still debating on the headers. But yeah I kind of was more on the NO side. So I think you helped me make my mind. I’ll use my money for another part. Maybe the MREV2 intake manifold. Thank you again! 👍🏼
gmbboys203 ....UPREV is the tuning software, no chip. Here is a video where I go into more detail at the dyno......th-cam.com/video/ISFOKiAOTmw/w-d-xo.html
sorry amigo. throttle body's bad mod unless your forced induction lose alot of torque. Cold air intakes are void too. k&n filters no good either dyno error %. plenum spacers yes. cat back yes. nitrous yes. headers yes but minimal on 3.5. I have access to a mustang dyno and those are my results. and yes radar detector is 1000% worth it.
Thank you.......when I had the differential out replacing the bushing, is when I did the touch-up work with a silver spray paint can. If you ever notice, every single G35/350z will have a green dot on the sub frame assembly. I really didn't like it and just covered it up and got carried away touching up everything else with silver paint. I did that like 5 years ago and everything still looks brand new. Being that I'm in Arizona and the car never sees bad weather, the underneath just stays looking perfect. Trust me, my first car was a 240sx before the G35. I lived in Ohio, where is the world's worst weather exists and the underneath of my car was all rusted.
I heard you were in AZ. I'm down here too. Where do you go for your tunes? I'm not in the valley or down south but it's not a long trip, been looking to add some more fun to my g35 sedan.
Yeah I'm over in the Gila Valley. Thanks I'll check them out, let them know you sent me! Got another sub and some likes for you :) Thanks for the comments.
I"m new to AZ, Oh then you are super close to South Mountain like me. Thanks and yeah here is my dyno video...........th-cam.com/video/ISFOKiAOTmw/w-d-xo.html
Love the car man. Just a quick question, what does that REV light mean on the dash? I've been looking everywhere to try and find out what it means to no avail.
Only 6 speeds have the rev light. It is a light uses to help you not redline. You set it at whatever RPM you want and 500 RPMS before that number it will start flashing bright red, before turning solid red once reaching your set number. The whole point of the rev light is so you do not have to look at the rpm gauge when driving.
@@jessedemler7501 ... I need to make a video on it, you are not the first person to ask. You set it after your trip meter. Hold the button down and the rpms start flashing. Then choose your RPM range.
My first mod after I'm done customizing my g is exhaust. Not sure if I should go with motordyne cat back or ark cat back exhaust. They both are expensive
No problems at all. At 176,000 miles. You can scroll some of my newer videos to see for yourself, gopro on the rear bumper. No smoke, nothing but pure Motordyne Shockwaves.
Actually, if you aren’t running Greddy Twins on your G35/350Z you truly aren’t doing anything worthwhile to your car. Also, APS full 3” is the Best exhaust, when Boosted. Folks, it’s in the eye of the beholder. Also, I would have to say that the Bilstein PSS9 is a hellafied suspension system. I would also recommend Carbonetics Triple Clutch and Carbonetics LSD.
I have a question would that be a good car to drive around Ohio in the winter timebecause I was thinking about buying one soon Infiniti G35buy just wanted to find out if it would be a good car for winter driving because I really like them
I am also from Ohio. Here watch this video on the perfect beater to get. A 450,000 mile BEATER everyone can own th-cam.com/video/Yj9UBsoF12g/w-d-xo.html
jahk beats ....it is Phoenix and that is South Mountain. I am new to Arizona but you take central Ave until it dead ends into the mountain and then there is a road that goes to the top. It is must see place if you live in Phoenix!
I have an 06 6mt (revup de) and I’ve heard a lot that the spacer alone won’t do anything to this engine unless I pair it up with an MRev2. What do you think? Is getting a plenum spacer worth it for me?
No it is not. I also have a revup and the 5/16th spacer does nothing unless paired with the MREV2. I have the 5/16th spacer with the MREV2. With all my mods on the dyno I gained 37whp/45wtq. Video on my channel. MREV2 is how you get all the wtq gains. On revups, the lower plenum has shorter runners for high rpm. The MREV2 is nothing more than a lower plenum from a non-rev DE with the front to runners shaved down because cylinder 1 and 2 choke at higher rpm.
Ark pipes make 10hp more than regular test pipes? Care to explain how? They look just like regular test pipes with resonators welded on it
Motordyne ART Pipes. Can Helmholtz Resonance Be Utilized to Make More Power?

Like no other G35 owner I've seen on You-Tube, or anyone I've ever heard of, besides myself, being the same way you are. Meticulous record keeping increases value of the car. But ..if there was anything you would or could do differently, what would those things be? 🤔
Thank You in advance 🤙

@Speed Racer
Just got myself an 06 g35x,absolutely love it.
I got one too! Has 100k on it though, but it only cost me 3k. Its beautiful.
I can say the same thing December 16,2020 I buy my first car a G35x. I love it already!
sucks its an x though
I couldn’t take him serious after seeing the flip flops
Yo I got the same exhaust..
it sounds like a monster every time i press the gas
Plenum spacer is a cheap easy bolt on mod too. Especially for 350z 03-04
My Dude got Migos SLAPPIN in the IN Dash
Nd carti
As front struts and shocks go, I will always go Bilstein! They're a really good upgrade for anything you put them on! And I'll still have like $2K for other things!🤑😊
I didn't realize Motordyne was an exhaust brand...I thought it was just your channel name. :)
Motordyne G35. Dude, I really love your car (except that it's black - not my preference ;-)) but it is really great (IMO) all around. I believe you want to turbo later on and I fully agree with you; that'll make it even more amazing.
I do have ONE small comment though and don't take this the wrong way ok, but you really MUST get the JDM surround trim for the double-DIN stereo in center console - the one you have now is not up to par with an Infiniti finish. I respect that you've not been afraid to spend $ on the best performance parts but the trim you have just makes it cheap, you know? I've seen those before and believe me, you'll appreciate the JDM much more. Otherwise TY for the vids - always super-informative. Cheers
Jeoka Gem .....I did the install myself and I know, the JDM trim piece is still on my list. After some new Work wheels and OG duck bill trunk, then the JDM trim piece. No offense taken, thanks for the feedback.
Black the only color im buying any g in. Next car will be an 06-07 g35 or 2011-2013 g37
Number 8. That 303 cleaner 😂 You convinced me my man 👍🏻 it really does work
Yes!!! my G35 passed smog and now I c u have a new video, it's a great day.
People just Love to Hate!
This guy bought his car Brand New and has taken Immaculate care of it since that day! He is sharing HIS opinions on what HE thinks is the best for HIS car and budget!
Be happy for him or anyone else that take this level of care and pride in their vehicles!
That's what it's Really like to be a Car Guy! Not the constant trashing of others!
can't wait till you get the admin tuning intake, i want to see if it's really that good. great vid btw
Oh wow so u didn't include the intake , plenum spacer or mrev in the list, that's interesting.
I had some questions that i posted yesterday. Seems to have disappeared. I'm impressed with your car and build. You've had this car for 12 years? Amazing.
I love it when people think they are smarter then the engineers when it comes to suspension set up and geometry
Nice work, nice and clean underneath the car u take really good care of it. That exhaust is nasty
That exhaust sounds good man.. above average.. costs above average too. I've owned both the g37 and g35 now. Do you agree that the g37 has a better looking front and the g35 has a better looking rear?
I had a 2013 G37x sedan and actually prefer the G35 in every way. The only real advantage the G37 has is the heightened technology with the Navi / Stereo / Car interface. But for those of you who really care about good audio, the G35 BOSE Version sounds much better than the muddy, sloppy BOSE system in the G37. My old 2006 Trailblazer had a better stereo than this joke of a system in the G37! lol
@@1970borntorun I think both stereos were garbage. I had top of the line kicker Q series 6x9's and a little hard hitting 10 inch sub. installed in the g35 With focal speakers in front. I spent about 2 grand on the install and that was a nice sounding system. Only reason I would hesitate to get a stereo like that again is cause i was constantly killing my battery. All i had to do was have the car in the on position with out the engine running for about 15 minute and the amps would suck the battery dry. That was with only about 900 watts (RMS) of power too so not even very much. Other than that there was no downsides and the car sounded amazing. I build a frame enclosure to hold my subwoofer in the trunk so i could slide the tires around corners with out the sub bashing around.
As soon as they let it rip on the dyno I had to hit the sub button
the preview pic he used for the video was a guys g35 from arizona up in the valley his name is christain..that car was a beauty he rolled my fenders on my altima sedan when i had it i still see him on the AZVQ group he dosnt have the car anymore he sold it to some dude in vegas..shit was nice tons of mod..cool guy too
yo man, I've just recently started watching your videos and damn I'm kind of proud that you're in AZ too haha. I just got my g35 like 2 months ago too. keep up the good work!
Definitely one of the best N/A modded g35's!!
The bc racing are like ridding a horse. But the handling is great though
Sedona always the move in the summer.
What's the brand of passport radar you use? Awesome video, I'm taking notes.
Cool! Nice job ... Have a low milage 2004 that -needs these mods!
I’m 15 buying a g35 04 tomorrow these are my future mods for sure 🔥
Try that "Bestbuy" logic in Virginia. They'll just write you a ticket for their "commonwealth" !
Cynthia bias ....I've been pulled over in Virginia and they took my radar detector. You are correct, but it is known in Virginia it is illegal. That is why I purchased the stealth radar after Virginia took my old radar detector. Bottom line, the west coast is where real freedom is in America. On the east coast, states along with old people are still stuck in their ways, not willing to change.
Your g sounds so good man
I see thunder mountain in the back round I’m from Sedona homie
Phill Gritter ....I am from Ohio. I currently live in Phoenix and Sedona is so beautiful. My first time going there and it was awesome!
Bought my g35x sedan for 3000 with 100k on the motor. Everything is in great shape, but I dont wanna spend almost what I paid for the car on a mod. Already have a nice catback exhaust, should I just go with a plenum spacer, test pipes, and new air filter? Seems like my best cheapest options.
If your going NA wouldn't it also be a good idea to get a headers?
Robert Rogers if you ask around on the forums, everyone says that the gains are not worth the money, unless you go with LTH
He would be correct, short headers make no power. PPE long tube headers is what I was going to get. When I was at my tuner, he was impressed by the Motordyne ART pipes/Shockwave. He told me, PPE long tube headers would not be worth it. I asked why? He pulled up a dyno graph from another rev-up motor with PPE long tube headers and he overlay-ed it with my curve. The curve was basically identical. PPE long tube headers you will get a bunch of rasp and drone into the exhaust and no more power than you get with ART pipes.
I'm in talks with Motordyne to test out their new long tube headers. The collector is down further than they are on the PPE long tube headers. My tuner said, very interesting design and he bets they will make power. I'm like Tony over at motordyne has never lied, so I'm sure they will do what they say. Plus you get the helmholtz chambers to add on the motordyne long tube headers. This will address the rasp and drone issue. I"m interested for sure. They are confirmed to fit the 370z, but not a G35 yet.
Robert Rogers had the same answer when I was at my tuner. It's not worth the money/labor for minimal or no gains
lol I got headers and it sounds nice and you can feel the power :)
Nice... I will start to finally work on my G... We have similar mods as far as power, except I need the tdx Exhaust... I bought the car with stick exhaust which has a maganaflow axleback only lol...horrible... I say stock or motordyne is best. I have the the furookie 3.5 inch intake with Nwp TB's, I also went with nonstoptuning lightweight pulleys instead of goin underdrive. I plan on doing KW V3 or, kparlett's g35 is rocking BC type coilovers for the track but his version are as much as kw... So idk... Maybe ill stick with KW. Last addition I'll get during exhaust switch out will be the full CF driveshaft. But yeah, this is what I've been wanting to do for all while, so seeing your mods done, I look forward to getting mine done and being at that similar power level. Mines not rev up tho
kparlett's g35.......I just youtubed that and holy shit is that channel awesome! I just clicked subscribed. Let me research what you are talking about on the BC's. KW's v3 are designed for 75-90% street use, but a guy did a complete review on superstreet on how it cut down is lap time by 2 secs, just from changing to KW. For a car that is 99% used for the track, KW's spring rates will be too soft.
Yeah that's my predicament lol. My Z is set for the track, but I might want similar track settings just because ...but then I know for the daily comfort feel, I'll want KW. KParlett also has the IG I follow. That's where I asked about his coilover set up
Tomei muffler is life tho
For the dyno tune on just the N/A mods, it's not really worth it, if your going to get a dyno tune, you might as well just supercharge or turbo your VQ35 first
Worth every penny. If I would have supercharged or turbo the motor it would not be running perfectly at 178,000 miles. Rod would have shot through the block by now.
The motor was never made for boost and to make the vq be able to handle boost with forged internals will cost 10k along with boost kit. Send me the cash homie and I will do it your way.
Haha Great video, i thought you were gonna say forced induction for the #1
NUDVL ......Boost is number 1. I am not there yet. I said in the notes, Top 7 NA MODs. I will be getting boost one day.
Damn your g35 hard af
No trumpet nosie here ..haha
question about the motordyne exhaust and test pipes you mentioned. What about passing emissions with it?
You don’t haha, either gotta switch back to oem for smog or gotta know someone to pass you
Hi, thank you for your uploads.
Does your G35 pass smog regulations in CA??
Hahah no!
I tried searching for that radar detector but found no luck would you mind sending me a link ?
I went with the isr set up with blastpipes. Maybe one day I’ll afford something like Kws and a motordyne😅😓
Thanks for the video, wish my car was hat hooked up lol.
Plenum spacer isn't one of the top mods? How do you figure that? Best bang for the buck for the G35
Like the exhaust
Sick mods bruh! My '06 coupe has RAS, any recommendations for aftermarket exhaust kits that'll work with it? Thanks!
Hmm.. this list seems to be a little bias to the parts you have bought for your car not necessarily best mods for the car. Nevertheless it's a decent list of parts. If you're really interested in making it fast I would start with tires, It seems like you have continental extreme contact. While they are Ok for daily use, if recommend switching to Bridgestone potenza re071r. It is the equalvient of switching from the Invidia exhaust you had to motordyne. Loads of grip to inspire more confident driving. They will wear out faster depending on your driving but it's worth it imo. Next should be brake pads/ calipers. This upgrade is dependent on your driving style/ budget but almost anything is better than the stock brake pads. As for the radar detector, ehh instead of spending $500 on one I'd rather just follow the law/ speed limit. But like I said earlier, all of the parts you listed seem to all be top quality parts which I like. Keep up the good videos. You should get into some auto x or road course if you're not already.
I'm curious, could you please provide a list of better parts? Lol.......I've had bridgestones, and pirelli p zeros. The tire you are referring too has no warranty and a treadwear rating of 200. Your exhaust comparison is not even close to a good analogy, they are completely different by producing dyno results and the emotion with an exhaust note. The reason I went with the continental extreme contact is for a multiple reasons. I"m tired of my tires going bald after 15,000 miles and no warranty. 285/35/19 tires are not cheap at $400 per tire from Pirelli. I hate 200 treadwear tires, gravel spits up on the paint and they go bald fast.
Continential extreme contact DWS 06 is the first 285/35/19 tire I have seen with a 540 tread wear ratting and a 50,000 mile warranty on their tire. When the tires go bald around 30,000 miles this time, I get a discount on top of getting a longer life out of the tire. On my youtube channel, I've been to eagles canyon raceway or what you call the track. I have track experience and I"m talking from experience. These are good tires for the street, where my car lives.
Thanks for watching my channel, hopefully this doesn't offend you. The higher the tread wear number, the longer the tire will last. Yes, it is because the tire is stiffer. On the street, it does not matter at all. These tires are actually impressive for that treadwear rating and have plenty of reviews out there to back it up on the web.
IMO 200 tread wear tires, all of them. I felt no difference at all on the street with Continential extreme contact DWS 06, which has a 540 treadwear rating. You can still take corners at unbelievable speeds with no tire squeal. Go KW v3's.
Thank you so much for this video, very informative, badass G man! I have goals now lol
Very nice interestin why did you go with those coilovers instead of going full airbag.
Nice tires.
My G Is Complete Garbage Compared To Yours... But Overall This Was A Great Video Man, I'm Hoping One Day I Can Be On Your Same Level
Thank you for the rare, intelligent, detailed explanation of your G35 Mods !! 98% of the time on TH-cam, we have some idiot 24 year old that slaps on twin turbos, Nitrous, etc then wonders why his engine explodes 2 days later LOL The Wanna-Be Paul Walker mentality is still very real lol
what are your thoughts on ARK Grip exhaust for g35? vs the shockwave. little cheaper, but still seems high quality
i like your car very much. Set some goals. lol
Man I wish you had a link for the radar detector that's a most need 😩
Hi, I think your videos r very informative and interesting . I was wondering if you still run the same Passport radar detector and how it would work in Canada.
good
Idk why but I still think stock exhaust sounds better
THE BEST
With the arc pipes, does that mean you don't have cats? I'm not a tree hugger but would like to run as clean exaust as I can and still have performance increased. They do sound amazing.
Philip Holman ....Motordyne ART pipes means no CATS. Remember P0420 is a bad CAT code. CATs always fail, especially HFC after about 2-3 years. Motordyne ART pipes never fail, last forever.
Hey, great videos!!!
I have a question, you mention ART pipes and The exhaust, but you don’t mention the headers. Are you running stock headers? If so, did you just think headers weren’t worth it???
Motordyne Shockwave exhaust and ART pipes are the set up I want to get, but I’ve been debating if I wat to buy headers (probably stillen) or not bother with the headers.
Thank you!
Erick Quezada ....headers are a known waste of money unless long tube headers, but ART pipes have been proven to make same power as PPE long tube headers. So ART pipes with Motordyne Shockwave is the best combo. No need for long tube headers which will also bring rasp and drone into the exhaust system. I looked at Stillen shorty headers a long time ago and after talking with my tuner, I decided not to do it.
Motordyne G35 awesome! Thank you very much for your reply. I’m actually using my tax return to buy my parts. And I was still debating on the headers. But yeah I kind of was more on the NO side. So I think you helped me make my mind. I’ll use my money for another part. Maybe the MREV2 intake manifold.
Thank you again! 👍🏼
my Mom Fx35 Sound Just Like This
8:47 What wheels does that black g have ?? what are they called ?
How did you dyno tune, is the cpu chipped; or did they tune the factory cpu because i never heard of that?
gmbboys203 ....UPREV is the tuning software, no chip. Here is a video where I go into more detail at the dyno......th-cam.com/video/ISFOKiAOTmw/w-d-xo.html
What is the name of your exhaust system
sorry amigo. throttle body's bad mod unless your forced induction lose alot of torque. Cold air intakes are void too. k&n filters no good either dyno error %. plenum spacers yes. cat back yes. nitrous yes. headers yes but minimal on 3.5. I have access to a mustang dyno and those are my results. and yes radar detector is 1000% worth it.
When are you getting your admintuning intake?
You G35 looks slick man. How do you get the undercarriage so nice? Did you get it powdered/painted or just detailed?
Thank you.......when I had the differential out replacing the bushing, is when I did the touch-up work with a silver spray paint can. If you ever notice, every single G35/350z will have a green dot on the sub frame assembly. I really didn't like it and just covered it up and got carried away touching up everything else with silver paint. I did that like 5 years ago and everything still looks brand new. Being that I'm in Arizona and the car never sees bad weather, the underneath just stays looking perfect.
Trust me, my first car was a 240sx before the G35. I lived in Ohio, where is the world's worst weather exists and the underneath of my car was all rusted.
I heard you were in AZ. I'm down here too. Where do you go for your tunes? I'm not in the valley or down south but it's not a long trip, been looking to add some more fun to my g35 sedan.
Are you from Arizona? I went to Tim at Xact dyno in Tempe. www.xactdyno.com/
Yeah I'm over in the Gila Valley. Thanks I'll check them out, let them know you sent me! Got another sub and some likes for you :) Thanks for the comments.
I"m new to AZ, Oh then you are super close to South Mountain like me. Thanks and yeah here is my dyno video...........th-cam.com/video/ISFOKiAOTmw/w-d-xo.html
I have 08 G35 with dual throttle body what would you recommend for power gain
Love the car man. Just a quick question, what does that REV light mean on the dash? I've been looking everywhere to try and find out what it means to no avail.
Only 6 speeds have the rev light. It is a light uses to help you not redline. You set it at whatever RPM you want and 500 RPMS before that number it will start flashing bright red, before turning solid red once reaching your set number. The whole point of the rev light is so you do not have to look at the rpm gauge when driving.
@@MotordyneG35 thank you so much! I was so confused on my 6 speed G what that meant.
@@jessedemler7501 ... I need to make a video on it, you are not the first person to ask. You set it after your trip meter. Hold the button down and the rpms start flashing. Then choose your RPM range.
My first mod after I'm done customizing my g is exhaust. Not sure if I should go with motordyne cat back or ark cat back exhaust. They both are expensive
i have the same obsidian black paint job on my g37s, what do you use in between buff and waxes to keep your paint looking amazing??
Hows your G35 holding up for you? Any mechanical problems yet with any of the modifications?
No problems at all. At 176,000 miles. You can scroll some of my newer videos to see for yourself, gopro on the rear bumper. No smoke, nothing but pure Motordyne Shockwaves.
Actually, if you aren’t running Greddy Twins on your G35/350Z you truly aren’t doing anything worthwhile to your car. Also, APS full 3” is the Best exhaust, when Boosted. Folks, it’s in the eye of the beholder. Also, I would have to say that the Bilstein PSS9 is a hellafied suspension system. I would also recommend Carbonetics Triple Clutch and Carbonetics LSD.
What do you recommend buying car parts such as thrift body. I’m in Canada
i love you😂😂😂 5:54
No headers?
Which g35 is the best?
King Angel ....06-07.
How much power is ur car currently pushing?
Saw the thumbnail and came here for a laugh.
I know u mentioned the mods are compatible with G’s & 350Z, would any of these be compatible with an 03 Maxima?
Nice flip flops
8:47 what exact exhaust set up is that i need to know please
How did you install it
Where did you get your stereo dash kit?
I have a question would that be a good car to drive around Ohio in the winter timebecause I was thinking about buying one soon Infiniti G35buy just wanted to find out if it would be a good car for winter driving because I really like them
I am also from Ohio. Here watch this video on the perfect beater to get. A 450,000 mile BEATER everyone can own th-cam.com/video/Yj9UBsoF12g/w-d-xo.html
These work for the G37 and 370z as well?
Brooo im so jealous man lol nice car😊
Did you just name the 7 mods you have? #1 Is always brakes unless you have brembos
He sounds humble Hahahaha!
Always be yourself!
Looks like phoenix wheres the location at 14:54 i want to take a pic with my g there
jahk beats ....it is Phoenix and that is South Mountain. I am new to Arizona but you take central Ave until it dead ends into the mountain and then there is a road that goes to the top. It is must see place if you live in Phoenix!
thanks man! come out on saturdays to the pavilion, im sure you know about it already, lots of gs in phoenix, got mine in november.
So how much money are we talking about for all these?
What stereo is this ?? Does anyone know ?
You’re in AZ???? Dude!
I have an 06 6mt (revup de) and I’ve heard a lot that the spacer alone won’t do anything to this engine unless I pair it up with an MRev2. What do you think? Is getting a plenum spacer worth it for me?
No it is not. I also have a revup and the 5/16th spacer does nothing unless paired with the MREV2. I have the 5/16th spacer with the MREV2. With all my mods on the dyno I gained 37whp/45wtq. Video on my channel. MREV2 is how you get all the wtq gains.
On revups, the lower plenum has shorter runners for high rpm. The MREV2 is nothing more than a lower plenum from a non-rev DE with the front to runners shaved down because cylinder 1 and 2 choke at higher rpm.
Hey bro, sick video. U sill her in AZ, if so what part?
Trey Jones .....Yeah, I am in Phoenix and thanks!
Motordyne G35 hey man lets link up soon. I had a 07 G35 and it burnt out. Now I got a 03 G35. Hit me bro
Trey Jones .....Cars and coffee, first Saturday of the month, every month. Up on Mayo road in Scottsdale. I will be there.
O.k. see you there brother!
