Im looking at upgrading the stock heat exchanger and noticed between the AMS, Nismo and Z1 is a huge difference, the first 2 sitting in well the 1k mark, while the Z1 sits around 500 mark.

is anyone running the Z1? thoughts? results?

are you paying for better quality or just the name? because at the end of the day they are just bigger radiators and look almost identical?

Cheers

as far as i know AMS and Nismo are near identical in performance? AMS uses Garret fins inside the units and did more R&D towards the heat exchangers.

don't quote me on it, but I heard Z1 and Mishimoto were made in China. While AMS is made in house USA, not sure about nismo (maybe japan???)

At the end, I perfer to go with the one that did more R&D and could provide that Data that come with it

I am running the Z1 heat exchangers. So far, they are running good. It sure is better than stock.
