Kevin C wanted to spice up his daily driver Z33 so we added a Motordyne  5/16″ plenum spacer to complement his JWT Pop Charger:

UPREV tuning followed with peak gains of 13hp/10tq for a total of 256hp/245tq to the wheels:

Ismael P came to Z Car Garage for a Motordyne exhaust system install and dyno.  Here is the Motordyne Shockwave True Dual exhaust system with burnt Titanium tips:


Stock vs Motordyne:

 

While enjoying his Z at the drag strip the clutch slave cylinder failed so we had it towed to our dealership to enusre sure they covered it under warranty.  We picked it up and UPREV tuned it with nice gains bumping peak power to 324hp/267tq to the wheels:

 




Boost is Better: Reuben’s Vortech 350z

At Z Car Garage we specialize in performance modifications for your Nissan/Infiniti. We also perform full maintenance services to keep your car running in optimal condition. Reuben M visited ZCG in 2008 to have the 30k-mile services completed on his stock LeMans Sunset 350z. Keep in mind that it is hard to avoid the temptation of forced-induction when one catches a glance of the many boosted-builds in our facility. Fast forward to 2013 and 13k-miles later…guess who has the craving for more power?

 

Reuben chose the Vortech V3-polished supercharger kit for its CARB-friendliness and daily driver operation. The dual-personality nature of the Vortech provides the potential for big power yet smooth, linear delivery.

 

A GTM 25-row oil cooler keeps oil temperature in check while the JWT HD clutch/flywheel help put the power to the wheels:

 

With the Vortech supercharger installed Reuben’s Z made 375hp/327tq to the wheels. This was a +123hp/86tq improvement over stock:


We love how sleeper this Z is! Our ZCG bypass-valve silencer keeps things quiet and the FMIC barely peeks from behind the OEM grille:


Enjoy The Boost, Reuben!

Kunal J is the owner of this very sexy G35 coupe with Volk TE37s wheels and tasteful ride height. He came to ZCG for brake services, ART pipes and an UPREV dyno tune. We happily installed brake parts that Kunal brought in himself and replenished  the clutch hydraulics:


ART pipes, and fresh tires for the timeless TE37 wheels:

 

Rob UPREV tuned the G and gained 16hp/4tq for a total of 278hp/261tq to the wheels. The dyno shows improvements throughout the entire rev range:

Thanks for letting us work on your G35 Kunal!
