Octavio’s G35 Coupe

by Alvin G @ 4:47 pm on May 8, 2013


Octavio came to ZCG for bolt-ons and tuning. Here are the goodies: Motordyne MREV 2 lower intake plenum,  5/16″ plenum spacer and JWT pop charger


(Left)MREV2 plenum vs stock and (Right) 5/16 spacer :


To complement the improved breathing the stock intake was replaced with a JWT Pop charger:


The bolt-ons alone yielded gains of 7hp and 14tq to the wheels:


What is even more impressive is how Rob’s UPREV tuning takes advantage of the bolt-ons improving the baseline 251hp/227tq to a final 270hp/254tq to the wheels. Overall gains of 19hp/27tq!

Stephen is a Google employee and came to Z Car Garage on referral by GT-R owner Atila.  Stephen wanted to enjoy some track day fun in his NSX so we upgraded the brakes with a Stoptech Sport Kit consisting of slotted rotors, stainless braided lines and new pads:

Stock vs Stoptech rotors:

We love this Honda. Have fun at the track Stephen!

Once a Z owner, always a Z owner! Ruben is a long-time 350z owner and we supercharged his car several years ago, here are a few pictures:

 
Ruben is now the proud owner of this 2010 370z 40th Anniversary Edition and he came back to ZCG for some UPREV tuning. Check out the improvements in hp/tq throughout the entire rev range with peak gains of 16hp/12tq to the wheels for a total of 300rwhp/253tq:

We are pleased to hear that Ruben reports a more responsive engine from the UPREV tune!

Geri R moved to San Diego so we just want to wish her best of luck and give her many thanks for letting Z Car Garage be a part of her Z restoration. Geri could not find a buyer for her 260z so she kept her baby!
