Kevin L wanted to improve the performance of his 2007 Infiniti M35. Thankfully this large, 3rd-generation sedan sports Nissan’s venerable VQ engine so many bolt-ons are available. We started with Motordyne plenum spacer/lower intake and Injen intake:
UPREV tuning maximizes the improved breathing for peak gains of 15hp/6tq for a total of 238hp/230tq to the wheels:
The M is no lightweight, and driving a little more “spiritedly” can over-tax the factory brakes easily. Kevin opted for the Concept Z Performance Akebono Big Brake Kit (BBK). This kit uses the OEM brake components found on the G37 Sport Coupes and is a direct bolt-on for the M.
OEM vs the larger rotors 14″ (F) and 13.8″(R) will definitely help shed heat and prevent fade. Front calipers installed and framed nicely behind wheels:
Rear OEM vs BBK:
More power and better braking make Kevin’s M sport sedan exciting to drive!
