Silver Bullet spacer for exact engine and intake requirements

The aFe 46-36008 Silver Bullet spacer fits the listed single-throttle-body 3.5L VQ35DE applications. The similarly named VQ35HR engine and its different intake arrangement are not interchangeable application proof.

Key Features

  • 6061-T6 billet-aluminum serrated/helix entry design; claimed turbulence and reduced whistle do not guarantee an improvement on every setup.
  • 6061-T6 billet aluminum with serrated/helix entry.
  • The page supports factory intake or listed Takeda TR-3001B, 5X-11372 and TR-3015P configurations, subject to the exact vehicle and clearance.
  • The manual warns aftermarket-intake modifications may be necessary; the one-inch supplied extender supports the intake mounting point and is not the spacer's stated thickness.
  • Manufacturer power, response and installation-time statements are claims, not guaranteed results.

Fitment

Years / source scope Model Exact requirements
2003–2006 Nissan 350Z 3.5L VQ35DE
2003–2005 mechanical page/manual Nissan Altima 3.5L VQ35DE; older EO 2002 qualification

46-36008: INFINITI's official engine table distinguishes the 2007–2008 G35 sedan's VQ35HR from the 2003–2007 coupe's VQ35DE. The existing 2007 Journey/Sport sedan rows are removed. The product page's exclusion sentence combines G35 Sport, G35x and a NISMO-edition reference ambiguously; the existing G35 X group is withheld pending exact manufacturer clarification rather than certified from the generic manual. The Altima mechanical page/manual start at 2003, whereas read EO D-550-40 includes 2002; the earlier portion is withheld as a source conflict, not declared physically incompatible. Remaining G35 rows require actual coupe/sedan and VQ35DE verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 46-36008?

A model- and engine-specific Silver Bullet throttle-body spacer, not a complete intake or replacement throttle body.

Does it include a filter or coupling?

The exact parts list below governs. Generic manufacturer page fields do not establish a supplied intake filter or coupling for this spacer.

Are gains guaranteed?

No. Turbulence, throttle-response and whistle statements are manufacturer design claims, not guaranteed horsepower, fuel-economy or sound results for the actual engine.

Which sealing parts are used?

Remove the original throttle-body gasket. Use two supplied gaskets: one between spacer and manifold and one between spacer and body. Engraving faces body and sticker faces hood.

What is the correct torque?

The exact manual specifies 10 Nm (89 in-lb) for the four supplied longer throttle-body bolts. It gives no separate numeric extender-support torque.

Are all original search rows certified?

INFINITI's official engine table distinguishes the 2007–2008 G35 sedan's VQ35HR from the 2003–2007 coupe's VQ35DE. The existing 2007 Journey/Sport sedan rows are removed. The product page's exclusion sentence combines G35 Sport, G35x and a NISMO-edition reference ambiguously; the existing G35 X group is withheld pending exact manufacturer clarification rather than certified from the generic manual. The Altima mechanical page/manual start at 2003, whereas read EO D-550-40 includes 2002; the earlier portion is withheld as a source conflict, not declared physically incompatible. Remaining G35 rows require actual coupe/sedan and VQ35DE verification.

Can another spacer’s instructions be substituted?

No. Gaskets, O-rings, brackets, screw sizes, control cables and intake restrictions differ by exact part number.

Does the EO reference cover every application?

D-550-40 was read and has model/year/engine-specific coverage. Its broader G35/Altima wording does not override mechanical engine/body limits or resolve the page's named exclusions. Confirm the exact application and EO label.

Installation Instructions

  1. Read the exact manufacturer instructions for 46-36008, verify the actual engine, intake, hardware and applicable emissions scope before removal.
  2. For equipped vehicles, mark the strut-tower brace adjustment before removing it. Remove the oil-filler cap and engine cover as required by the manual.
  3. Disconnect the MAF harness and remove the intake tube. Remove the throttle-body socket-cap bolts and original gasket.
  4. Fit the spacer engraved side toward the body and sticker side toward hood, with one supplied gasket on each side.
  5. Use the four M6 x 80mm bolts with lock washers and flat washers; position the flat washer next to the body and tighten to 10 Nm (89 in-lb).
  6. Attach the one-inch extender at the original intake mounting point with the original bolt. Secure the intake tube to it with the supplied M6 x 12mm bolt and remaining flat washer.
  7. Restore the tube, MAF connector, engine cover, oil-filler cap and brace adjustment. Recheck bolts and clamps after 100 miles and confirm exact EO labeling.

46-36008: installation details and any unresolved source scope must be matched to the actual vehicle before use.
