My car had all of the following bolt-ons for both pre and post-tune.
- Takeda long tube intake (I cut out a portion of the radiator supports to avoid pinching the silicone elbow)
- Berk HFCs
- Ported TBs, and upper and lower intake manifolds by Synergy
- AAM Mid-pipes
- OEM Nismo Muffler

Nice numbers!! Looks like your factory tune wasn't doing well with the mods lol definitely a good investment!

Thanks! I was asking a lot of the factory tune before I brought it to Soho ha.

You can't see it on a dyno, but the new throttle mapping is a huge plus too - the tune really fixed the lag at the beginning of the gas pedal travel. Feels like a totally different car.

Took my car to soho today.

339 WHP after the tune. Just missed 340. Throttle response is excellent now. I'm extremely pleased with the results Nik was able to achieve off my build.

2014 370z automatic.

Build:
Stillen Cold Air Intake
Stillen headers
Z1 upper intake manifold mod
Fast Intentions HFCs
Armytrix Valvetronic exhaust (guess it paid off)

Pump gas

Damn good numbers for an auto!

Kzonts · 03-24-2017, 09:36 PM

Here are the results of my dyno tune today. Thanks to the team @ SOHO Motorsports!

2015 Sport. Mods are in my signature...

Gained ~24whp and ~14tq

And she feels a little more racier...

Holy crap thats stout!

zguynate · 03-28-2017, 05:39 PM

Thats nuts on a stock motor. Has me thinking about doing meth in the future.

SG4247 · 03-28-2017, 07:07 PM

Im not convinced this is a stock long block...

If its mine, its got coated Wiesco pistons and Oliver billet rods at a minimum. I would think it would hammer the ring lands on stock pistons.

I cant see the puny four bolt headbolt open deck block keeping this much cylinder pressure sealed up for very long.

Hey but what do I know! Maybe SOHO can provide more build info, as I am very interested in what is needed to achieve this level of power - reliably.

zguynate · 03-28-2017, 07:17 PM

According to their FB page this car has a "stock block", but is using e90 and a methanol water injection kit.

SG4247 · 03-28-2017, 07:51 PM

Boost is hard on parts, no matter how the boost is developed.

This was a stock block too, until it bent 4 rods and lifted the head.

I can tell you Ignite e90 is amazing stuff. I got an e70 tune with e90 and my whp jumped 617 sae rather than standard correction. Sae reads 5 to 10 percent lower than standard. I was at 604 before and Seb did not increase my boost at all. The fuel allows for additional timing to be taken out. Can't speak to the benefits of running meth with ethanol.

The car has 8,000 miles on it and the motor is completely stock... this is not the first car that we have made this type of power on. We have been running this type of power on our shop nismo for the past year trying to find the limit. Sebastian has also tuned a few cars with this type of power as well, it all comes down to the tune and fuel selection.

Still over 100whp shy of the stock long block record. This motors can handle the power.
