-Stillen Gen3's
-Stillen UD Pulley
-MD M370 intake manifold
-Nissan Motorsports 34row Oil Cooler
-Nismo rear wheels mounted**

Should be a fun day. We have 4 or 5 of us tuning which should be fun. We've considered throwing the local Fast Intentions TT owner on just for sh/ts after his long haul home from Cali to MN.

You should put up pics of your new wrap! Loving the black!

I would add the M370 for the gains in torque...it's worth it!

I remember you from myg. Congrats on your Z, nice mods!

Over the years on myg37.com as well as on here and seeing everyone sell theirs with "no or minimal" gains, its very hard to justify putting it on.

I've had so many guys that I've seen sell them which I PM'd to get their honest opionions on, and they just say its not worth it. So many mixed reviews.

Hotrodz · 08-15-2014, 10:45 AM

Yup, I saw about a 10ft/lbs more on the torque side of things and increase in throttle and acceleration according to the butt dyno lol.

SS_Firehawk · 08-15-2014, 12:08 PM

The car does pick up a bit more growl. It's subtle, but it changed the exhaust note just a tad bit lower. The M370 is nice, but with the Z1 modified VHR manifold, the m370 gains over the modded but are minimal, but the modded vhr will continue to make more power, especially up top.

damn really? That was with a tune I'm assuming?

Should just go FI TT which I've debated up until this point on going TT, and BEGGED Tony@FI to fab some intakes, but at this point for me with a house being built, and baby boy on the way, TT is a bit outreached right now, so Gen3's, UD pulley and M370 hoping to hold me over for a year or so...

Come with me to Brainerd next Wedneday or the one after. We'll put you in my car for a 1/4 run or two or three. Then decide if you want the twins.

Hotrodz · 08-15-2014, 04:03 PM

I hear you loud and clear on keeping your priorities straight! But once you go boosted NA won't due anymore.

Yeah, the number I gave you were after a tune and is what Seb figured. My dyno sheets are posted in the Engine Section within the M370 Review tread. I pulled some pretty good numbers with just K&N drop ins, exhaust and ART pipes.

Update from Saturday's "test and tune".

Got the UD pulley installed (PITFA!!!!!!!!! who thought getting the bolt out and then pulling off the pulley?)

Put the car on the Dyno and.....the A/F looked perfect immediately. Added some fuel, took some away...running rich in the low end at 11ish could squeeze about 3whp at the top end. To me, just not worth it. Entire curve between all three pulls/adjustments in a/f were damn near identicle so I elected to stick w/ the OEM Nismo tune as it seemed to keep the A/F in the safest places, not to mention the idle was perfect.

Gen3's, M370, UD pulley, RHFCs and SS catback, put down 320whp and 258 ft/lbs of tq. My goal was 320 keeping the 300 cell cats intact, and we got there. (All of these #'s were with my 20" WORK GS2's mounted)

Yeeeeeah. It didn't take us going to the 1/4 mile for me to want Twins. A simple drive around town in Brian's (Arrvaxx) 40th FI TT was enough for me. I've also road in the Prototype out in Cali (Blake's), as well as Tony's GTR. Damn it it makes our NA cars just seem....sluggish. The sound of the exhaust...sure, great, love it....but the sound of each shift point or even a slight acceleration and letting off.....ahhhh, that blow off valve, that tq pull, ....baaaaaah, like I need to explain it to the both of you, you BOTH HAVE IT ANY TIME YOU WANT IT!!!!!!

We shall see. House closing is Sept 29th, our son is due in December. 2015 may bring on the next big step for the Z, but definitely not this year.

Hotrodz · 08-18-2014, 12:26 PM

Outstanding numbers for being NA! Glad you got everything installed. I hate the frustration factor when Dyiing lol...but the pay off is so satisfying!!!!

Arrvaxx · 08-18-2014, 12:37 PM

You should have seen him, seriously I swear it was 7 hours. He was NOT leaving that place without his pulley in and dyno run!

Iceman · 08-18-2014, 02:14 PM

1CleanZ, your car looks sweet, your black G looked pretty bad *** too! Just curious, was there anything particular you liked better in the G than the Z?
