by Alvin G @ 12:38 pm on February 12, 2012

Chris P. came to ZCarGarage to see how his bolt-on mods netted any performance gains. He installed Stillen Gen 3 intakes and Berk Hi-flow cats himself and Rob UPREV tuned the Z34 for an improvement of +11hp/9tq at the wheels:

Later this week we will have updates on several Z34 and G37 projects from simple bolt-ons to full forced-induction setups…stay tuned!





ZCG 300zx Twin Turbo Makes Serious Power

This Z32TT has been with ZCarGarage for several years and in its current form showcases what the right formula of parts and tuning can achieve. Rob and Seb recently dyno’d the Z with impressive results: 644hp/571tq at the wheels on 100 octane!

Rob was kind enough to take me for a spin today and I was blown away by the raw power of this car. Acceleration was violent, and when the tires had enough heat in them to hook up…I was getting dizzy with each roll-on. Here’s a short video clip, more to come!

LONG LIVE THE Z32 TWIN TURBO!

Special thanks to Seb of SpecialtyZ for tuning this beast!

Joe E’s Red Alert Titan truck got some extensive power modifications last year and he has been enjoying the ride as evidenced by a 0-60 run of 5.6 secs(Gtech)!

If 91 Octane just doesn’t cut it…100 Octane will make you happy! Rob continued tuning Juan F’s G35 making even more power with 100 octane fuel: 462hp/380tq at the rear wheels!






Juan’s Vortech’d G35

Juan F. hails from South S.F. and met Rob back in July ’11. They discussed building a supercharger setup for his G35 coupe that would allow room to grow when more was desired.  The Vortech tuner kit provides a solid foundation with flexible power levels; Juan was impressed with the midrange gains from the SI wheel upgrade seen on previous ZCG Vortech builds and decided he wanted one for himself!

The V2 Vortech supercharger is fully polished with supporting mods including Stillen headers, 725cc injectors, GT MAF, upgraded fuel pump, JWT cams, JWT clutch/flywheel, ARK GRIP exhaust with Fast Intentions HFCs, and a ZCG oil cooler.

Suspension upgrades consist of  TEIN Flex coilovers with EDFC and F/R camber arms:



Juan supplied the trick, STI-ish gauge pod with DEFI instruments. It blends seamlessly in with the OEM information display. The glovebox also houses a custom gauge panel for the EDFC display, oil pressure and A/F meter:


Juan wanted the G to look very unassuming so we blacked out the FMIC and piping. Aside from the aftermarket wheels this G remains under the radar.
With Uprev tuning by Rob, this is the most powerful supercharged G35 to come out of ZCG. With the SI wheel on the V2 the car was detuned  to 431hp/363tq at the wheels!
