@@kapow_g37 Obviously they are just tubes, but they are not installed correctly. Your tubes are likely installed on the wrong side and/or MAF sensors are likely turned 180 degrees as intended. Again not the end of the world, and obviously your car is running just fine. However, Z1 intentionally designed them to have the sensors installed underneath, for a cleaner engine bay. Here is step 27 on the installation guide copy and pasted from Z1: Locate (2) air intake pipes and (2) large hose clamps. There is a left and right intake pipe. The MAF sensor should be on the bottom side of the air intake pipes, with the arrow showing the direction of airflow pointing towards the throttle bodies. Position loose clamp over post-MAF hose and slide in air intake pipe.
His tubes are not installed wrong. Most kits have the sensor on top just like stock. If he flips them over like you say.....A- mounting brackets wouldn't have anywhere to mount and B- crank case vents would have to be ran all the way to the other side of the tube.

Vq's will definitely not run properly with 3" intakes and different injectors without a tune- especially with e85 as the fuel values differ considerably. Not an option unfortunately.
@@RyanScanlan-o7o totally agree it won’t run properly but could run enough to drive it somewhere near to get tuned if done at the same time and want to install the parts yourself. Def not putting e85 in till a tune tho
On my 370Z I got 321 peak rwhp with a Stillen Gen 3 long-tube CAI, a Fast Intentions 2.5" true dual x-pipe cat back and an Ecutek tune from Specialty Z in Simi Valley, CA. I run 94 octane with Sunoco SS100 blended with 91 oct Shell V-Power Nitro+.
Jus got my g37x last week I’ll eventually mod it buh should I do these mods then tune or do intakes n injectors last n e85 tune or should I tune after every mod?(im new to the car scene always had a love for them ik a little ab a lot dis my first car I’ll be moddin)
I mean in a perfect world tuning it after every mod would be nice but tuning is very expensive. Can be $500-$1000 every time. Now you don’t need a tune if you’re removing the cats or doing headers, but you may get engine codes and your car might run a little different but definitely don’t NEED a tune. If you’re doing intakes or injectors, though you’re definitely going to need a tune or your car is not going to run correctly. I will say I did injectors and intake at the same time and it was running after I had them installed, but if you are spending that much for modifications, you really need that tune to make sure it’s doing what it needs to, and you have to really have a tune to run 85
I personally had a full exhaust and test pipes (removing the catalytic converters) and then got a street tune(no dyno) then I had actually waited to just do injectors and intake so that I could get them as a pair so I only needed to get tuned one more time with those mods
e85 is key. im at 322whp with oem AEM V2 intakes test pipes and tune! thats it. V2 AEM Intakes are so underrated. IMO the best intake all things considered. Although there might be w few reasons for my high dyno. I have a 2016 Nismo so the exhaust flows better than OEM and V2 nismos have the updated header design. Also the biggest restriction by far is the cats. I feel almost all 370'z can gain 30+whp with test pipe and tune alone. Everything else contributes slightly to the end Number. Basicially diminishing returns as you for and ultimately peaking at 330-345whp for most
Probably just the usual things of a kind of higher mileage car wise but engine wise car is still running very strong, transmission is definitely lagging, but I think that’s just a Nissan thing in general
@ love to hear that as my transmission has been lagging for awhile now. I’m excited thanks for replying back much appreciated from another higher mileage G
Lmao Fr I thought for number 5 he was gonna say a bigger fuel pump for sure, if you’re running e85 on stock pump you’re missing out on gains for sure lol
Just getting a tune could definitely increase some power and how it runs, but not too much without supporting mods, also unless you’re changing out the catalytic converters exhaust wouldn’t really make much of a difference maybe just a little if you replace mufflers
PRECIATE IT BRO. So I do everything myself, but my tuner had to install the intake and injectors at his shop, but I also helped and the intake and injector install plus retune was about 800 Dyno 200$ Injectors-320$ Intakes-400$ Catback-400$ Test pipes-200$ I do have a video on my channel that goes in depth with all these that might be a little more accurate !

“Technically” they’re not engine mods, they’re bolt ons. Engine mods would be internal upgrades. Not knocking the car. That’s amazing power out of some bolt ons man. A lot of folks do an exhaust and intakes and usually land around 320ish. Stellar power out of a NA v6.
Yeah, I called them engine mods because they still are part of the engine but for something like Bolton I just don’t consider them an “internal” mod which is more what I would call something like Rods Pistons, etc. But yeah, these naturally aspirated V6 is sure are fun to tune and make make faster.
Dead wrong. It’s torque that’s kill engines and trans not HP. VQ trans can take up to 400 lbs torque until you have to eventually upgrade it to VR30 trans or Level 10. You don’t have to upgrade trans yet if your just tuned or FBO but if you want to eventually add forced induction( supercharge, turbo) then upgrading to the VR30 trans is priority. VQs can take a beating and the internals are already strong, supports up to 600-700 max HP, anymore than that you’ll have to start upgrading the engine internal components.
Funny enough I originally bought some off eBay but then had been hearing bad things so I returned them and then got these off Facebook marketplace with a possibility of them being fake, but they were in some Nissan packaging so pretty sure they were legit.
