Boosted 6 Intake install

Seriously, get hearing aids. They'll change your life and it is a safety issue if you can't hear. Your family and friends will thank you - Hu? What? Hu?

You're right. They are on order.

I really want the open air AMS intakes, but ill probably end up going closes intakes, well see idk.

... and you'll fully enjoy the beautiful sounds of that 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo. I love this car. Just got home from a little romp in it as the roads are dry today in NW Indiana! She's a beauty.

Sounds? What sound?

Anyone install/have this? Reminds me of the Velossa big mouth, but can't really tell from the photos.

I know it's purpose is to draw in cooler air when moving, so I like that idea.

My intakes are stock. I've installed a czp heatX, so when I had the bumper off, you can clearly see the fresh air inlet on the Z is partially blocked by coolant lines (aluminum lines and hoses), so it seem like a tight fit.

You can hear the turbos hiss when spooling and the blowoff between gears. I've got the NISMO kit which is closed (actually "cold air intake") but have removable covers. I left the covers off to hear the difference, and haven't put them back on because it sounds so good, even daily/unspirited driving. Intakes like the B6A with no enclosure around the filters sound even better (turbos and blowoff are louder).

I regret buying the Nismo air intakes, the B6A look cooler, come in a 3" version with an insert, and sound better.

The B6A kit is basically the NISMO without the brackets and boxes. Remove the brackets and boxes, remount the filters to the MAF tubes and WHAMMO!…B6A setup. Although the B6A has the extra inverted cone filter in the cap. From personal experience you do typically get more intake noise from filters with that added inverted cone.

…and then you can sell your NISMO boxes. There are people that would buy a fresh dog turd if it had a NISMO logo on it.

Well guys, thanks for the insight. Got them installed yesterday. Install really wasn't bad. Just some patience needed on that passenger side turbo clamp screw! Super happy and much more fun to drive with all the turbo sounds! Cheers!

On the passenger side, how did you slide the tube over the turbo inlet. No room to turn much as it seems i can only get one side of the tubing on.

It’s a blind shot for sure. I used super lube silicone and you have to go at it by feel…. After you think you have it seated, you can visually confirm that it’s seated or not with a good light

Here is my original comments on the install

Hands down one of the most beautiful rz34s I’ve seen, and respectful owners on this forum, and that’s your input? I’ll happily replace his washer fluid cap when they make one, if you show us your Z
