Kinetix Racing V+ plenum 350z/G35 Vq35de

- In this video, I do a comparison of the Kinetix Racing plenum and the stock upper plenum. The Kinetix plenum is a great upgrade for more power, it increases the volume of air that can go through the intake system. The manufacture raised the hight front to back, and deleted the six bolts that lead to air restictions for better air flow. You can expect great gains if you pair this with the Mrev2 lower intake plenum, and posibly more with a tune.

I like the idea of the composit manifold. What I didn't like was seeing it flex when the engine would rev. How has yours held up?
Hey thanks for checking out the video, I like watching your videos with the 350z. But back to you question the top manifold does great under load while hot and it doent flex. The reason I prefer the kinetix top manifold is that it doesn't heat soak like the stock aluminum one, and you get the extra volume just like you would with a plenum spacer, also you don't have the six bolts blocking the air flow.
@@latenightgarage7895 Makes sense. I'm running the Motordyne iso thermal gasket kit and will be Cerakoting the intake manifold in the winter to help reflect engine bay heat.
@AnthonyJ350 I have a video where I install the MRev2 lower plenum and the kinetix top and in that video I show them with the DEI heat treatment paint plus I took off the lower runners, cleaned them and sprayed them to then put the heat shield under the lower runners and under the lower MRev2 plenum to help those aluminum parts with blocking heat. I also don't run my car in cold temps so I bypassed the coolant to the throttle body to help with air temps.
@@latenightgarage7895 I'll definitely check out that video!
@@latenightgarage7895 can you run the v+ plenum and the 5/8 spacer or just the spacer w stock?
Nice video I saw where someone was running a v plus with a 1/2 spacer but the hood has to be modified or replaced with a HR hood but it made the most power out of all plenum setups for a regular non rev up DE
Would be nice to see a dyno run for both set ups
I’m currently building an all motor DE. I’m just not totally sure if I’m gonna run the Holley hi ram kit or stack the V+ plenum on a 1/2 thermal spacer with custom 4 inch carbon intake. I got every other supporting mod just not sure exactly the manifold setup yet that bottle neck is exactly the key area for sure though where the DE loses a lot of power from.
@Jerry Williams that holley hi ram kit look awesome, read that it gives around 25whp possibly. The price isn't to bad but then you have to get the add ons for the kit and find a hood for it.
Yoo is the HR hood straight bolton to a de G?
@Jun Seoul If it's the aftermarket HR hood for the G35 yeah it will fit.
how you liking the kinetix plenum so far? I am in a toss up between the racing v+ plenum or the stacked one from kinetix
It's a great mod for more air volume in the intake but, honestly if I could go back I would have bought the stacked intake. Reason I say that is, the stacked intake is one whole piece which is great because you don't have to buy a lower mrve2 plenum and a upper kinetix intake. Plus it has a great design to help air flow into the ports.
@@latenightgarage7895 yeah exactly why i was looking at the stacked version i broke a plenum bolt into the bottom spacer as well lol trying to find one 2nd hand is like impossible $800 for it is a lot
$800 is alot but when you put the two sets side by side one being the Mrev2 and Kinetix intake and the other being the stacked Kinetix intake, the price is way less for the stacked intake. It's about $700 for the Mrev2 lower plenum plus $300 for the kinetix V+, and like you said the stacked intake is only $800 so it's about $200 less and others say it's a great intake for boost setups
@@latenightgarage7895 appreciate the insight brother
@@NouriGains thank you for watching
Did you get this second hand cause I know they ship the plenum with the coolant bypass
Bought it new just didn't know it was the bypass
@@latenightgarage7895 okay cool 😎 your video really helped literally inside the car about to go to AutoZone to get that torque wrench
@Anime-boy if you just got a Kinetix intake note that it's has a cork gasket, in a different video I removed mine bc the oils from the pvc were getting soaked into it making it fall apart. I used RTV to help seal it up but that's was with 10xxxish miles on it. If you have a oil catch can I don't think the cork gasket would be affected then. Just FYI for down the road if you ever get a vacuum leak.
@@latenightgarage7895 thank you I literally just got done doing this just letting it sit now for an hour or 2
@@latenightgarage7895 thank you for the reply appreciate it
Kinetix stacked plenum ? What do you mean by that ? Is it a kinetix v4 plenum with a spacer ?
I ment the Kinetix velocity manifold
@@latenightgarage7895 is there a link to the stacked intake ? That way like you were saying you don’t have to by the mrev2 and upper plenum .
@@reneduran3675 look up the kinetix velocity manifold, it's a chrome intake
@@reneduran3675 quick thing to add, the velocity manifold is really nice when boosted and sometimes when tuned with supporting mods, but I’ve seen quite a few people say that it can decrease power if installed on its own. Just a heads up if you plan to purchase one. If you’re planning on boosting, it’s definitely worth it over an mrev2 and upper plenum
I just installed one or these and now I hear alot more engine noise.
I assume it's because it'd metal vs plastic
How’s the gasket sealer holding up I just removed the kinetix and the cort gasket literally melted off cause the oil I was wondering how’s the gasket maker holding after you reinstalled it ?
It's holding up great
@@latenightgarage7895 okay okay I literally have a tube of red gasket maker you think it should be strong enough? and thank you so much for the reply
How did you go about laying down the gasket maker right on top of the old gasket or on the plenum?
Should use black rtv bc it's not effected by oil. But scrape and brake clean the oil off the kinetix and then just lay a medium size line of rtv and use your finger to spread if needed.
@@latenightgarage7895 thank you so much I was literally searching up another cork gasket right now but I think ima do what you said and use the black rtv maker thanks bro I’ll let you know how it goes ! 💪🏾🙏🏾
@@latenightgarage7895 last question did you use the black rtv by itself or ?
Should I still use my plenum spacer ?
That's a good question, now I'm not 100% sure if you can run a spacer with the kinetix intake because it might not fit under the hood. If your running the stock aluminum intake then yeah use the spacer but you'll be sucking in hot air because it get heat soaked. I'm not sure if there a tune graph out there with a kinetix intake and a spacer together to show the hp and torque increase but whether you run the kinetix with or without the spacer there's gonna be a good increase in hp and torque
How much hp does this add?
Look it up online, I think it says in the description
@@latenightgarage7895 Don’t you know you’re the one who installed this part on your car bruh 😤
It's been awhile, I don't keep track of prices after I purchase parts.
@@latenightgarage7895 I’m taking about how much horsepower did your car gain after this new plenum
Save your money get ported ?
What do you mean?
@@latenightgarage7895 should I buy this ? Or just port my upper and lower manifolds ?
@@JuanRodriguez-uh4hr Gotcha I would go with the kinetix top because its a hard plastic that won't flex, and it doesnt hold heat like the stock aluminum one does. The Kinetix doesnt have the 6 bolts disrupting the airflow and it allows more volume wirhout a spacer which is a plus. Adding a Mrev2 lower plenum would also help. I have a comparison video on the Mrev2 vs the stock lower plenum. They make better lower end torque together.
(If you have a DE motor with out the Rev Up motor 03 to 05 the Mrev2 lower plenum won't make a difference, but if you have a 06 to 07 DE Rev Up motor the Mrev2 lower plenum will open up lower torque).
@@latenightgarage7895 yeah I have a 04 DE that I’m building I’m going to be N/A for a while gunna get tuned this summer by admin
@@JuanRodriguez-uh4hr Nice, yeah I would just port your stock lower plenum because that's the same plenum as the Mrev2, just not ported. Look up on how and where to port at and I'm sure you'll be better off than spend 500 bucks for the same thing but slightly better.
