We love the latest version of the Nismo 370z. In fact this is the aesthetic that should have been released from the start! Although the Nismo Z has improved cosmetically the drivetrain still summons the same 350 horses and 276 lb-ft of torque it has offered since the package first appeared in 2009(!).

 

Power junkies need not fear, Z Car Garage is here to help. With only 22k miles on the odometer, Rasheed B came to us with his stunning 2015 Nismo Z finished in Pearl White for a full Vortech supercharger kit.

 

Here are a few pictures of the Stillen Black Series supercharger kit installed:

How does it perform?

 

Bone stock from the factory, the Z put down 295hp/242tq. The Stillen supercharger added 84hp/58tq to the wheels with the kit-supplied CAN tune:

Rob’s tuning yielded even more power with final numbers of 420hp/320tq, improvements of 125hp/78tq over baseline.

 

This Nismo 370z now has more power to back up those aggressive looks! Enjoy The Ride, Rasheed!

 

Ron L came to Z Car Garage from a dealership referral and we installed a full Stillen supercharger kit on his 2013 Nismo 370z.

Stillen’s kit offers VQ37 owners 400whp and full CARB compliance—it’s extremely popular with ZCG customers and we have performed numerous installs over the years. Here is Ron’s polished setup:

 

The install went smoothly and we added a Stillen 25-row oil cooler and GT-R spark plugs:

 

Yes, we miss that OEM Nismo red intake cover but the Stillen intake is equally pretty and still fits under the NISMO strut tower brace!

 

On the dyno a CAN tune with ZCG touches nets a satisfying +132hp/70tq gain for a total of 436hp/323tq at the wheels:

 

Icing on the cake is that next time Ron pulls beside a police officer he will be cool as a cucumber knowing his 500hp Nismo Z is 50-state emissions legal 🙂 Enjoy The Boosted Ride, Ron!

 

 

James L is from San Francisco and visited ZCG to get Stillen intakes and an UPREV tune. This is one of the first Q60’s we had our hands on:

 

The Gen3 intake installation is straightforward:

 

Before/after

 

UPREV dyno tuning time! Baseline numbers for this 2013 Q60 were 295hp/253 to the wheels:

 

The intakes add +6hp peak hp:

 

UPREV tuning however optimizes both power/torque curves with gains throughout the rev range.Total power is now 308hp/256tq to the wheels:

 

 

 

Richard M visited ZCG earlier this year for an UPREV tune on his 2009 370z. We made great NA power with the tune but boost was beckoning so 3k miles later Richard came back for a full Stillen supercharger installation.

 

We added a Stillen 25-row oil cooler and GTR plugs:

 

The kit comes together seamlessly, before/after:

 

How does it perform? With a CAN tune out of the box we saw 376hp/284tq to the wheels. This wasn’t terribly impressive considering baseline NA numbers were 305hp/251tq, netting gains of 69hp/33tq:

After Rob’s custom tune we squeezed another 58hp/55tq for a total of 433hp/339tq to the wheels. The gains are significant all the way to the VQ’s sweet 7500rpm redline, even with slightly less boost!

 

Richard should be happier now with over 400whp 🙂
