Scott B was the first Nismo 370z to be supercharged down at Stillen. After a few years and 25k miles he came to Z Car Garage because the car was acting up. Rich A/F ratios from the (early) Stillen tunes had fouled the catalytic converters.

   

We installed ART pipes which are test pipes without the traditional raspy sound:

After the install we re-tuned Scott’s Z picking up 17hp/14tq for a total of 416hp/313tq to the wheels:

Enjoy The Ride Scott!

 

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!

 

Mike U visted Z Car Garage back in May for Stillen intakes on his Nismo 370z. The Z was a gift to himself and with just 2800 miles on the odometer he got the modification bug. In addition to the intakes we installed a Fast Intentions exhaust system and Eibach springs:

A few more shots of the system:

 

The Fast Intentions system looks great and also frees up some power!

 

We saw a 7hp peak gain at the wheels over baseline:

 

With Rob’s UPREV tuning Mike’s Z34 now makes 315hp/256tq:

 

Eibach springs improve the stance and SPC camber arms keeping the alignment in check:

  

We dig the slight ride height reduction:

 

Enjoy The Ride, Mike!

Mike U came to Z Car Garage for a Stillen intake install on his 2013 Nismo 370z. This is his first sportscar and he’s got more mods on the way including a Fast Intentions exhaust system UPREV tuning.
