Alex T is the owner of this pretty Black Cherry Z34 and he visited Z Car Garage on referral from our boost junkie friend and customer Juan F. To satisfy Alex’s desire for forced induction we installed a Stillen supercharger kit that was actually used on Grant K’s Nismo 370z.
Out of the box, this older Stillen kit left plenty of room for improvement so we invested in several upgrades like 1000cc injectors, Aeromotive high-flow fuel pump, pulley and these engine oil/automatic transmission coolers:
The transmission received a GTM valve-body upgrade and stock bypass valve was replaced with a blow-off valve:
Fast Intentions test pipes replace factory cats:
To put the power down more effectively we installed a Quaife limited-slip differential, using the stock 3.36 R&P:
With all of the modifications and UPREV tuning Rob extracted 435hp/343tq to the wheels. This is a 147hp/104tq gain over stock:
To monitor vitals Alex chose PLX Device’s OBD2 multi-gauge. We first installed this trick, wireless sensor/gauge package on Steve’s G35 with an iPhone interface. For Alex’s Z34 the multi-gauge was seamlessly integrated into the OEM pod:
We love the brilliant display and wealth of data that can be accessed:
Enjoy the Ride Alex!
