Nice! I see that they charge $5k USD for pkg only on website. I guess I am going with my version of a pump gas version - 91/93 Octane (hence no fuel delivery related components), and intercoolers rather than heat exchanger, with full catted downpipes instead of lowers only. Being a new car I am leary about front end dismantling to get at heat exchanger for now. With installation, I'm looking at about $12k Cdn all in. Heat exchanger and Nismo street exhaust may be later.
I would highly suggest a heat exchanger to go with those intercoolers, since you're vacuum bleeding the cooling system either way. Without adequately cooled fluid, the intercoolers will not be as efficient or effective, thereby becoming interheaters.
Good advice.I would highly suggest a heat exchanger to go with those intercoolers, since you're vacuum bleeding the cooling system either way. Without adequately cooled fluid, the intercoolers will not be as efficient or effective, thereby becoming interheaters.
Same goes for a catback really...otherwise you're just handicapping your build and not extracting its full potential (image restricting a garden hose down through a drinking straw). 3.0" pipes feeding into 1.75" pipes where your exhaust gasses slam into a steel wall aka flange. Especially if you're paying someone to isntall & tune it all, might as well do it once to avoid duplication of efforts/cost.
Again though, just my 2.7-cents (CAD)
dont worry about the front end, mines been off 2/3x. probably more to come.
Agreed. Especially for an experienced shop, its quite easy. Mine has been off twice now with zero side effects.
One other thing, don't feel you need stick exclusively to AMS parts either (unless you want to, obviously!). Their stuff is great, but you are paying a markup for the name. Mishimoto also has a nice pair of intercoolers & heat exchanger (what's personally on my car), and CZP makes a very nice heat exchanger as well.
Thanks. Funny. I almost went with Mishimoto intercoolers, but read they didn't cool as well as AMS on repeated pulls. Though, I admit that I liked the the idea of AMS continuity in my package.
I liked that I was also able to retain my stock engine cover with them as well. I appreciate the R&D and engineering details that Mishimoto shares on their website; always an interesting read.
You are correct. I looked deeper, and the Wheel HP/TQ numbers would be less on 91/93 pump gas. Overall, it's looking like my pkg would amount to about 90-100 hp and 150 tq gain.
| Setup | Crank HP | Gain vs Stock | Crank Torque | Gain vs Stock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock 2024 Z NISMO | 420 hp | — | 384 lb-ft | — |
| Tuned package on 91 octane | ~495–530 hp | +75 to +110 hp | ~530–580 lb-ft | +146 to +196 lb-ft |
| Tuned package on 93 octane | ~515–545 hp | +95 to +125 hp | ~550–595 lb-ft | +166 to +211 lb-ft |
Interesting. Am I reading this correctly? Stock Nismo no mods other than tune on 91? That's impressive then!This is the most I've ever seen for a Nismo on 91 octane but I wouldn't trust this for two reasons.
It's 91 octane
And Map 2 on JB4 is +5 psi with that low quality gas.
What I find most interesting about this power difference though is the Nismo was completely stock(no intake, ldp or exhaust) with the crappy 91.
