K&N Press Release – Viper Owners Get a Bit More Venom

The 2008 Dodge Viper defines brute power. Equipped with an 8.4-liter, 10-cylinder engine, the 2008 Dodge Viper is capable of producing over 600 horsepower. The Viper is often considered primitive when compared to ultra-luxurious supercars from Europe. However, what the Viper lacks in plush trim and options, it makes up for with its track credentials.

The 2008 Viper is reported to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds, and reach top speeds of around 200 mph. Combine that level of sheer power with the ability to precisely maneuver through turns, stop from 60-0 mph in around 100 feet, and the 2008 Viper will leave a venomous taste in mouths of European supercar owners.

K&N engineers are always hunting for more power. After looking under the 2008 Viper’s hood, K&N engineers knew the Viper was capable of more. Much consideration was put into the design of part number 69-2527TTR.
The stock 2008 Viper intake tract uses a dual throttle body set up fed by a common plenum with a single air filter. K&N intake 69-2527TTR replaces the stock pieces with twin powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubes and dual K&N high-flow air filters for improved air delivery.

K&N 69-2527TTR Installed

This performance air intake system incorporates a unique heat shield, and the dual air filters line up with the factory fresh air intake on the hood. The result of this hard work and enthusiasm for performance is a nearly 19 horsepower gain at the wheels.

K&N’s Research and Development Department tested a 2008 Dodge Viper 8.4-liter V10 on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed horsepower increases throughout the RPM range with a shocking peak horsepower gain of 18.69 horsepower @ 5,300 RPM! 69-2527TTR provides improved performance with attractive red powder coated aluminum intake tubes to match the 2008 Viper’s valve covers.

K&N air intakes completely replace the restrictive factory air intake assembly with an aerodynamically engineered tube and an oversized air filter. With a K&N Performance Air Intake System, consumers can count on extra horsepower whether cruising along with fellow Viper owners, or competing at Laguna Seca.

This air intake system uses two conical shaped, chrome topped, high-flow air filters (RF-1048) and a powder coated aluminum heat shield in place of the vehicle’s stock air box. The result is an air filter that captures harmful particles, flows more air, and provides long service life. This K&N air filter performs for up to 100,000 miles before service is required, depending on driving conditions. Improving the air path between the filter and the engine are the powder coated aluminum intake tubes. Our powder coated aluminum intake tubes offer power and a stylish appearance. 69-2527TTR takes about 90 minutes or less to install, using stock mounting points, requires no drilling, and is covered by the K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty.

For increased protection and style, K&N intake 69-2527TTR includes Drycharger® filter wraps (RF-1048DK) intended be used during inclement weather. Drychargers are made from a durable polyester material containing uniform micron openings which will stop small dirt particles and repel water; yet add little restriction to the airflow of the filter. Available in a variety of colors, K&N Drychargers can be color coordinated with a car’s finish.

Password JDM Press Release – Nissan GT-R Carbon Fiber Front Fenders

PWJDM GTR Carbon Fiber fenders

Introducing the Password JDM GT-R Wide Frontal Fenders… It’s a known fact that the GTR suffers from “understeer” which will be amplified once you add more power to the machine. Let’s face it… how can we ever leave “well enough” alone? There is nothing wrong with leaving a perfectly great machine like the GT-R in bone stock form. Hell, in stock trim, it kicks the living daylights out of cars 3 times it MSRP. For the fellas here at PWJDM… and especially for ADHD me… leaving well enough alone can be left to the competition. I was born to modify the hell out of any car that I own. The GT-R is no different.

For starters… we have done quite a bit, and for the most recent, we have completed the development on the PWJDM GT-R Wide Fenders. Extended a full 38mm, and much lighter than stock, the PWJDM Wide Front Fenders were designed to accommodate a 20×11 wheel wrapped in 315/30/20 Toyo R888. These are the widest tires available for the rear of a stock GTR, it was only fitting that we develop Wide Front Fenders so these can be had up Front as well. Being an AWD car, it’s only fitting that the same tires are on all four corners. With these PWJDM GT-R Wide Front Fenders, we can certainly claim that our goals have been achieved. You can easily push that corner that much faster when you know your car will be able to handle it. Getting wider fenders to accommodate wider tires are a must if you seriously drive your GT-R. Road sailing becomes that much more of a thrill now. ?

Made entirely of Dry Carbon and reinforced with Kevlar to safeguard from thrown rocks and such… the PWJDM GT-R Wide Front Fenders are the ultimate must have upgrade for any GT-R whether you have power upgrades or not. You will definitely feel the benefits of having larger rubbers up front instantaneously. There isn’t an option like this being offered by anyone else. These took us 200+ days to develop. They have been well thought out. Much consideration was given to aerodynamics, aesthetics, functionality, and having them “ADD” to the overall stunning looks of the factory GT-R. Although aggressive in theory, these Wide Fenders are actually pretty subtle looking. We also deepened the side vents on the fenders to help alleviate the high pressures at increased speeds inside the fender well. The front wheel arches flow perfect with the rear quarters of the car so well that you would think these were designed by factory themselves… to accommodate where the fenders meets the front bumper, we also designed a bumper extension that also deletes the front side markers for a sleek clean look. Since the clear side markers are so hard to get a hold of for a reasonable price, we decided to engineer these fenders to delete them so you won’t have to bother paying a ransom for them. These Wide GT-R Fenders along with the bumper extensions are sold bare dry carbon and is ready for refinishing prep work(painting)**.

**Installation is not difficult, but should be left to a professional body shop. Once fitted, the fit and finish is exact. We designed these to hold a very tight tolerance, so we undersized all the holes which can easily be opened up with a drill/rotary for a perfect fit and finish.

  • Ultra light Dry carbon Construction
  • Kevlar Reinforced 1 piece single op produced
  • 38mm wider and lighter than stock
  • Accommodates 315/30-20 R888 on 20×11 without the need for spacers
  • Includes matching bumper extensions
  • Matches and flows well with the rear quarter panels
  • Deletes front side markers
  • Addresses the “understeer” issues with the GT-R
  • …and attracts females in droves!

Nissan Z Celebrates its 40th Birthday in Style!

Nissan Z Turns 40October 22nd will mark the 40th anniversary of the Nissan (Datsun) Z.  First released in 1969 as the Datsun 240Z, the ‘Zed’ has evolved through the years, and we’ve had a front row seat to watch it grow.  As a child it was an impressive sports coupe that made US automakers sit up and take notice with it’s straight-six that grew in size and stature each generation.  From the 2.4L 240Z, to the 2.6L 260Z, to the 2.8L in the 280Z each iteration added more bang-for-the-buck and had people looking at the little coupe that could.  By the time adolescences came around, turbocharged versions of the car were available and the straight six was being ditched for a more robust V6 setup.

The early 80’s marked the entry of the 300ZX with the most iconic version coming in 1990 with the Z32 300ZX Twin Turbo.  A powerhouse and a design far ahead of its time, the 300ZX became the tuner’s choice and fired the first shots in what would becomes the Japanese Supercar Wars.  A brief hiatus in the late 1990’s set the stage for a triumphant return in 2003 with the Z33 350Z and subsequently the Z34 370Z, both of which follow the same trajectory as the Z didin the 70s with increased displacement release after release.
