well i was checking out sum places for parts and i saw this lil thingy on ebay.
calls it a cannon intake, says its a sought after part and in his personal message to me said it makes "big gains in hp"
then again it kinda looks like the stock part, just curious though if its any good?

Item: DATSUN 240Z 260Z 280Z DATSUN INTAKE CANNON (120126985646)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
babyhydro is the seller.



"Large gains in hp,big diff betwee the factory and the cannon."

 

um, it's actually a popular mod... it's meant for ITB's.

 

lol... yeah it is... theres a cool site that sells all the ITB **** for our cars, turbo and non turbo setups... pretty cool, but if i read it how i think i read it, its stupid expensive.... is the price they list for the set of ITB's or is it that much for each friggin one?

 

so it would be a waste of money if i bought it for my 76?
im stil working on a set a set of headers i can stick to these 2.5" pipes i put on.
but uh i might as well just work the question out, BESIDES A TURBO whats gona be the next hardest hitting mod i can do to the z after i get a nice set of heades on there?

 

you COULD get that item on ebay, even though its in kinda shotty shape, and then get yourself some ITB's for it and go to town. that would be a pretty significant mod

 

ic how much u think six throttle body's would run me......
gains.....

would it be better just getting it all as a kit new from _____ and a price on that....

im just a power ***** I NEED MORE ITS LIKE CRACK

holy **** i think im gona wait on this modifaction.

 

That's a Cannon manifold for triple Weber carbs. The carbs (new) and all the linkage will cost you at least another $600. I see them complete on ebay for about that much used. MSA sells new for $2000-$2300. I've never seen ITB's on one but 6 Hyabusa ITB's on it would be awsome with a engine management system. You can't just bolt on a bunch of things and get good results without starting on the inside of it. Your going to end up with a "ran when it was parked sale".

 

yeah i wasnt sure if that was for ITB's either because i didnt see any sort of injector holes and the throttle linkage runs over teh ITB's themselves no? but from that picture i couldnt make up my mind... so i kept my mouth shut.
