Best Bolt on Setup?
 

What are your best dyno numbers with full bolt ons and tune?
Please provide setup. Thanks

213kw atw on hub-dyno

Stillen shorties, Berk HFC, HiTec CBE, K&N filters and UpRev tune

That's probably the worst bolt-ones setup lol..

For all those wondering, I looked it up and thats equivalent to 289 hp. Lol

To each there own. Guys probably not chasing horsepower as much as looking for sound and a solid tune. Not everyone is a dyno queen :tiphat:

My buddy just dyno tuned his 370Z, Stillen headers, Cats, Gen2's and catback, all Stillen and made 314 WHP and 261 WHTRQ, 6 spd manual.

I'm getting mine done ( X G37 Sedan) with
Z1 HFC's, ARK Grip catback, Takeda cold air, M370 mani( and with ported Stock mani) seymore4 tune on 4/3. I will post mine here also.

Usually the highest N/A power setup is something like:

Any popular exhaust (F.I., Motordyne, etc)
Test pipes or hi-flow cats
Stillen G3 intake or equivalent
Z1 shorty headers / F.I. long tubes
Uprev
Go from there and add stuff like the modified Z1 manifold + porting.

Seen similar setups make 330-340whp. Sometimes a little higher depending on the dyno.

G3's
M370 or Z1 intake manifold
FI long tube headers
Stillen exhaust
Light weight flywheel
Uprev tune

Bolt a turbo on

Perfect!

Apart from US dyno's that read higher than the ones down-under ... must be because we are upside down.

Could someone tell me their experience with headers vs the stock manifolds? Is there a noticeable difference in power and noise? Do they tend to quiet down at a cursing speed? Also what is the difference between the Z1 manifold vs a stock? These are 2 modifications I'm considering. Thanks

Best value to dollar to HP for the Z.

...

I have the FI LTH's with 12" resontors and CBE. It's a bit loud. I gave up listening to the radio. Also have a G3 cai, and port match intakes for 334hp. For the install of LTH's. The right side takes about 1.5hrs if you're drinking beer. The left side will take about 6hrs if you're lucky. The hard part is taking out the stock heat shield and manifold. Putting the header up in is easy. You have to watch out for the rack+pinion sensor too.

so far the highest basic bolt on HP goes to a owner here in GA:

Z1 intake manifold
09 Maxima Throttle bodies
Stillen G3 intake
Z1 headers and test pipes
Tomei single exit exhaust

It made somewhere in the ball park of 348whp... Call Jon at Z1 motorsports they have a 400hp package that will get you set off in the right direction! we have about 2 dozen 330+whp Z's in atlanta...

Any examples of the 09 Maxima Throttle bodies mounted on a VQ37?

What is involved in getting these working and the gains they might show?

Custom work

1slow370z had his custom manifold made to fit those twin 70mm tb's

Do you plan on tuning with uprev or ecu tek? You might be able to squeeze more hp tuning with ecu tek

Thanks for the insight Elmo370z. :tiphat:

Yes, I'm seeing the ECUTEK now showing some real advantages, not sure if they have roms ready for Q50 yet.

Also looking for a best parts recipe for the 3.7 in the Q that would make good noticeable improvements to possibly 320whp/270wtq with a tune.

Z1 intake manifold: Available

But most parts are not available yet::ugh2:

Need some headers to get the intake breathing, not sure if anyone is making headers for the Q yet though, might get by with some HFCs.

You guys collectively are the most knowledgeable on the planet I've seen in making the VQ37 scoot. :driving:

If I had money to burn; like everyone else would just send their car to FI for their TT kit and call it a day. :tup:

Bullet is far more knowledgeable than me. Good luck with the build

337WHP

Stillen SS Catback Dual Exhaust System
Stillen Gen 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit
Z1 Motorsports VQ Performance Headers
Z1 Motorsports SS Test Pipes
Z1 Motorsports VQ37 Intake Plenum Power Mod
Z1 Motorsports Urethane Transmission Mount
Uprev Tune

you mean this g37? ^_^

i swear i watch this vid daily.

Ill be breaking that record hopefully within the next year if someone else doesnt beat me to.the punch

I'm hoping to see huge gains after my build.
What do yall think about this setup:
FI 12" exhaust (or motordyne e370, can't decide)
Motordyne ART pipes
Z1 shorties
Takeda CAI (already installed)
Motordyne M370 manifold
Ported and polished throttle bodies
TWN short shifter
And to top it all off, tune with ECUTEK

i've already acknowledged it's around 6k for 60hp,using premium parts!
(+ or - a bit)

All depends of how steep of a slope you wanna tread. Or spend another 14k and get 300 extra whp.

317whp and 269 ftlbs
Stillen Gen 3 Intakes
Bored Throttle Bodies by Maxbore
Ported Upper & Lower Intake Manifold by Synergy
ARK Grip V2 Catback Exhaust
CNT Racing Resonated Test Pipes
NST Underdrive Pulleys
Jwt Flywheel


May be installing z1 headers in the future, not really too power hungry. More suspension work is important to me right now.
