09-11 Nissan GTR R35
Description:
The Synapse Engineering R35 GTR Intake Kit is designed with headroom for high horsepower applications. For those that are merely looking for bolt-on performance, we have designed a purpose built tapered venturi insert to maintain the signaling that the factory ECU needs in order to have a smooth operating range. We've not only had thousands of road miles on this design to verify the validity, but also have thousands of track miles behind it in all weather conditions. This design is currently being run on the Fontana Nissan showroom stock car in the Redline Time Attack series. The results have been verified on multiple GTRs on and off the track. For those that look to make some serious power down the road, simply remove the inserts and have your tuner re-scale for the much larger MAF cross section.

Synapse Engineering is a performance shop based out of San Diego, California since 1999. Their fields of expertise deals in bypass valves, wastegates, intercoolers, turbocharger piping and accessories.
Synapse has been reinventing pneumatic actuators for flutter dump, compressor surge – issues which plague high-boost turbo setups – with a new technology called "Synchronic". Their products are low-maintenance, bolt-on performance pieces that are designed for easy installation – they supply couplers with matching t-bolt clamps, for instance.
Their Synchronic technology basically redesigns the geometry of a fluid-powered actuator, resulting in improved response and reduced frictional losses. Synapse Engineering takes time and effort with their build and R & D processes and the results speak for themselves.

Q: What's the difference between a cold air intake and a short ram intake?
A: Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender well area, which brings in a cooler charged air from beneath the car (outside of the engine bay), which is denser and therefore creates more power. The piping is a lot longer than a short ram which means the power gains are not seen until the mid to higher RPM band. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it doesn't make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall.
Q: What do cold air intakes do? Why buy a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes bring more air into the engine, which creates more power during combustion. Cold air intakes will generally help with throttle response and higher power gains, adding a pleasing induction sound to your engine under acceleration. A cold air intake also significantly cleans up your under-hood appearance and makes it easier to see and access components of your engine bay.
Q: How do you install a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes are a true bolt-on application. The removal of your factory air box and resonator will be needed and the cold air intake installed in its place. Basic hand tools are needed, and the intake installs in minutes.
Q: Do you have to buy an air filter if you're buying a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes are usually sold with all the components needed including the filter and all adapters.
Q: Are cold air intakes offered for every vehicle?
A: Cold air intakes are not offered for every vehicle and are vehicle specific. There are no universal kits available on the market.
