More Power: Alan’s Vortech G35

Our last major update on Alan E’s G35 was in 2009 when he made the jump to forced induction with a full Vortech supercharger install + supporting mods. Alan recently came back to ZCG for more power upgrades since we all know that boost is addictive!

We installed ART pipes to complement the upgraded exhaust system:

A 2.87 pulley generates more boost along with uprated 650cc injectors and an Aeromotive 340LPH fuel pump:

 650cc injectors and Aeromotive fuel pump:

The initial build several years ago produced 417hp/320tq at the wheels:


With the current mods and Rob’s tuning, the G now produces 457hp/351tq to the wheels!

Will Alan’s craving for power be satisfied now? Stay tuned to find out!

Dailey A is an auto-tech school student and came to Z Car Garage because he wanted his SR20 powered (S13)240sx to be a reliable daily driver. The car needed sorting and had its share of issues. We took care of intercooler leaks and sloppy work performed by the PO like a damaged gas tank. Upgrades included a Z32 MAF, JWT ECU, GReddy FMIC, and an Aeromotive 340 fuel pump:


Dailey’s 240sx now makes a dependable 222hp/218tq to the wheels:
