Air-to-Air Intercooler Kit by Z1 Motorsports... Let the fun times roll.

Yea I got a dremel and cut out part of my wheel well to fit my NACA ducting. I was thinking something similar to get it around the front frame.

Many questions and no answers from the TS @rayden2001 . I agree with @traska_rz34 and @Niks_Mowing comments and questions.
The pictures show a lot of work for a DIY person to do on the install. I use my Z as a daily driver, so any extended time in the garage (my garage) costs me in gas ... my backup driver is a 1998 K1500 ... that gets MAYBE 14mpg.

Yeh this will take some time to install. This isn't my daily so I just worked at it over a few weekends just to make sure it's done right and I don't have any boost leaks. Its a very nice kit. The quality is very good.

I believe you can work your ducting for the brakes around the kit

Are you running stock turbos and what BOV's are you running?
Who did your tuning?

Been thinking about getting this kit.

Just did mine yesterday. Waiting on my final tune code from Ecutek. How has it been for you?

 

[rayden2001]

I have stock turbos and running turbo smart bov. Jon @z1motorsports is working on the tune for me. He's still dialing it in for me. Once we get the tune done I'll give an update on the performance of the kit.

Z1 Motorsports Air-to-Air Intercooler Kit.

I see you routed the air filters outside the bay. Did you have to cut the support and or move the aluminum ac lines?

Yes I did on both.

Nice. I dislike the ac lines blocking the air inlet on the driver side.

If only it was clear like the Z34.

When you open up the area around it they drop down out of the way. It wasn't a problem.

It's hard to see in your pic. I was looking to see where you placed them. Thanks!

Nice, I'm currently looking at options for tuning before I pull the trigger on this. I'll most
likely go with the HKS Bov's.

I see air to air and now I think I need upgraded turbos. Then I think I need PI. Lol

Hi Everyone,

Great work there
EZ Ryder9

Couple of questions:
1. After removing the Air to Coolant coolers, did you just plug the lines? because i see that the coolant cooler is still present under the new air to air cooler.
2. Does the cooler box feed something else and is there a need to keep it?

3. What is your recommendation for methanol injection? Since you work with Z1 so closely, are they planning on introducing a methanol injection turnkey system for this model.

Regards,
Sabbi
