2003 Nissan 350z @ IFO – UpRev

On Saturday before the race event this car arrived and needed a calibration right aways since he wanted to make it to the race event.  The motor which is a built VQ35DE which was installed, put in the engine bay by another shop and it needed to be tuned, so the client contacted us.  Time was not in our favor since it was just a few hrs before the race on Sunday. We checked the fluids and also the spark plugs since we were told that pistons on this build were a little higher compression.  We opted to put a 2step colder plug for added insurance.

Engine mods list:

Machine Work – Stage 2 VQ35 Long block / High Compression Pistons
Wiseco 96mm 11.1:1 CR

Eagle rods / ACL bearings

JWT C8 VQ35 upgraded camshafts 272 dur.  /.473 lift / JWT shim and Spring kit

Rev up Oil Pump / Kinetix intake manifold / AEM intake / TB  / CBE

Dyno Dynamics final numbers on the day.

Ambient conditions on the day 85F, 54% humidity and 30.14 baro.

For all you dyno jet people this is what it would have made on that machine when the conversion to the charts are made on the Dyno Dynamics.

Here is a video of 1st qualifying run of both of my clients going at it.  Jason with the red 350z made it to the final of his category and finally was bested  by a red 370z. That 370z which won the category was very consistent all day at the event.

In conclusion good showing by my client’s Z and Gs out there.
