Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - New Mods Dyno Results (Art pipes, Takeda, Custom Headers by Speed Force Racing, UPREV

I finally got all of my new mods on the car a couple of weeks ago and got it Uprev tuned at Advanced Race Technology in Sarasota, FL.

New Mods:
-Takeda cold air intakes
-Motordyne ART pipes
-Custom headers from Speed Force Racing in CA
-19 Volk TE37s

Their headers are 304SS, have 1 3/4" primaries and use Burns collectors. The quality is top notch! I'll let the pictures do the talking:

Prior to the new mods, the car had Tanabe exhaust, ERZ HFC's, M370 mainfold and K&N drop-ins. The car dyno'd 294/245 in 2010 at Proven Power, a Dynojet in Tampa that many 370's have tuned at with "normal" results. The weather was awful: 90 degrees and 95% humidity.

This time the weather was perfect.... 70 degrees with low humidity and I was running on 19" TE37s instead of Sports rims that I tuned with in 2010. I did 5 baseline pulls and they were all very consistent around 301/251 on his Dynocom dyno. The A/F was in the high 10s and the timing was way down. I guess those mods leaned my car out so much that it threw my stock ecu into "safe mode".

After UPREV tuning it made 306/273! The A/F sweet spot was around 12.2 At that A/F we were able to increase the timing a bit and make good safe power.

I then swapped out the OEM air boxes and K&N filters for the Takeda Intake, all while still strapped down to the dyno. 2hrs later and after retuning, it made 312/277.

Next we swapped out the ERH HFCs for Motordyne v3 ART pipes. 2 hours later after retuning, the car made 318/277. It's hard to tell from the graph but the results were impressive. The exhaust was noticeable quieter but a little less exotic compared to the HFCs. All in all they are very impressive and worth the money.

Next came the header install which went surprisingly very smooth. My friend and I were able to swap them out in 5hrs. He's a bit more mechanically inclined then myself, so he did the driverside, while I did the passenger.
After retuning for the last time, the car made 328/283.
When I took the car for the first drive after installing the parts I was blown away. The car has absolutely no traction through first and most of second gear and is sooo much torquier during normal driving in traffic. The new Fan tables dropped my oil temps by almost 20 degrees!

All of the final tuned graphs overlaid. With the graph being so zoomed out, it's hard to tell the difference but you get the idea.

The first part is him warming the car up to get the oil temps up to 170 degrees before tuning.

Props:
Huge thanks to Derek at Advanced Race Technology for all of the dyno time. He's a genius when it comes to tuning and was nothing but professional and patient with me. We must have done 30-40 pulls total! Highly recommend him if you are in FL and need an UPREV tune!!!

The key to a quality header for the 370z is the collector and it doesn't get any better then Burns. If you are in the market for headers, I highly suggest you give Tony at Speed Force Racing a call. He was great to work with and I couldn't be happier with them.

I hope you enjoyed the read and my results. This post isn’t about bragging rights or final dyno numbers but I tried to limit as many variables as possible. Let me know if you have any questions!
