- After years of bolting on mods I get my 350Z's engine tuned for maximum power.

Blimy, i need to up my prices. Ive been tuning engines for 26yrs now and charge £140.
The price he paid would have included the UpRev software licence though.
Fellow 350z owner here! Great video series! Have taken mine to Jez at Horseham to adjust mapping to get rid of a bad stutter at low revs. Now totally gone and feels so much better to drive as a result. Not a huge power gain for me either but this correction for me was a total game changer, even if the addotional power is barely noticeable! Enjoy your car!
Nice and honest summary, really love that!
Greetings from Bavaria
Awesome, thank you!
I had the exact same results without a remap (276hp), but with different mods : mishimoto air intake and silicone hose, an aftermarket exhaust that starts after the cats, and reinforced ignition coils. So I guess you could get a 20hp gain with only bolt-on mods and a remap, which is nice. I felt a small difference after those, but the BEST mod I have right now is...a polyurethane diff bushing. Maybe mine was shot but it was night and day, the power is going straight to the rear wheels almost instantaneously !
Lovely Jubbly video, but nice to hear someone telling the truth for a change on RUclips about modding their car and advantages they've achieved.
Cheers mate
Love the 350z content as a fellow z owner ❤
I’ll use this videos as a reminder of why I need a remap. My car has similar modifications and is running the stock tune. I expected my AFRs to be slightly lean but 13.5:1 is very lean
I did long tube cold air intake, long tube headers, custom Y pyp, plenum spacer and light weight flywheel and retuned with uprev tunning I again flet a huge improvement in throttle response, power difference is noticeable from low to mid rpm range aswell as Rpm is raised from 6600 rpm to 7100rpm and the car is happy with that
Nice that u mentioned it’s only marginal gains, for the costs of all the mods! 👍
I really value this channel because it has helped me with my own BMW e92 320d M sport restoration projects, without the need of dealership intervention as the parts i needed to change are in Road and Race archive videos "how too"! Your easy to listen to and you do not miss steps in what you need to do or adjust! Thank you so much
Thanks mate. Glad the videos were of some help.
Short and straight to the point. Great video 👍
Cheers mate
Honestly I love your videos. You made me want one, look for one in turn know what to look for and finally buying one. Thank you bud. Keep the videos coming.
How about the idler pulley delete or a light crank pully next. Heard good things
Good to hear you bought a Z. Hope you are enjoying it. Will keep those ideas in mind!
Just started watching this series. Ironic in a sense that you posted this video so recently after the break since your last one.
Great video would be awesome if you could do more regular videos as you explain stuff brilliantly
Big thanks. Going to try to start a new project series in the coming months.
You should have noticed a significant improvement in engine smoothness and drivability. I had the uplift model which was reputed to have higher horse power (296hp) all be it at a higher rev limit. I had sports CATs fitted together with a better "Y" pipe but standard exhaust and with a remap got about 310hp, all done by Abbey Motorsport. The engine felt very different and was much smoother and more refined. If you're looking for more power, then best to look at alternatives like the E46 M3 as the heatsoak with V6 engines is a major limiting factor.
i got hks knockoff exhaust bet thats why it maped 313 with same mods. Picked that exhaust up for 100 quid used was deffo worth it for sound hehe.
I love too see old cars getting the care they need
Lovely upload and exactly the same feelings I had. Some folks say it mate a massive difference, but can only assume it was running utterly rubbish before or had an issue. If the engine is running well prior to a remap, the changes won't be greatly felt.
Cheers Davey.
You have to do Motordyne ART pipes and a plenum spacer to feel a noticeable difference....I've done that twice and each time puts a grin on your face...only reason I had to do it twice is I sold the ART pipes and XYZ pipe to raise money to help someone out, then later bought ART pipes again and yep....even without a tune you'll smile. :)
@@locophoto6881 Yeah have art pipes and xyz, plenum spacer, 06 airbox, full exhaust and what made the most difference was the lightweight crank pulley 😁
Just got my 2007 Nissan Murano SUV remapped by Remap Kings. It’s the same engine as the 350Z but factory de-tuned to 230 BHP. NOT ANY MORE !!!
They use a cloned 350Z Nismo stage one map
Just been dyno tested at 274 BHP
And, YES ! You can certainly feel the difference, with a corresponding 20% up-lift in torque. Which the super smooth CVT gearbox handles very well
AND, incredibly, it now does 3mpg more around town. And 6 mpg more on a run
MWAH HA HA HA HAAAA (evil laugh)
Want big power from only a remap you have to go turbo, or supercharger with a smaller pully. Simple really. Great content, thanks.
Cheers Darren. Yeah, defo.
@@RoadandRacetv your to kind, you already knew that ;)
the graph at 2:14 where you say the engine is running lean - is actually running rich between about 5100 rpm and 5900 ish which I wouldn't call "low revs" either. it's Air:Fuel, anything less than 12.5 is less air to fuel thus it's running rich. Ideally you want to run at 13-> 13.15 cruising, and 12.5 under load (extra fuel can cool the valves etc) . that said 12 instead of 12.5 isn't THAT bad, just wanted tuning out is all. Though I think your audio at 2:14 actually does apply to the graph you show 20 seconds later that shows 13 to 13.5 - that's fairly typcial OEM map for emmissions and fuel efficiency.
Gr8 vid mate and gr8 editing
BIg thanks mate
I did the plenum spacer install but removed it after a year. It sounded great until the engine got up to temperature; after sitting for a while and restarted, it sounded angry and unpleasant.
Interesting. Just one of the reasons I don’t like n/a engines is that tuning is almost pointless for the small gains you pay lots for.
Interesting, thanks.
Excellent content cheers
Glad you enjoyed it
The zed is back!
Should have done Motordyne ART pipes, plenum spacer, and a cat back exhaust....THEN the remap...you'd get about 25HP and very noticeable torque....speaking from experience and I didn't even get the remap....a remap would have made it even better
Good to know. Thanks.
It's the weight that's the killer in the 350z.
Yeah, it's heavy. 1.6 tons I believe.
@@RoadandRacetv Thing is built like a tank gotta sy it does feel solid when driving over my dc2 that was just 1100kg miss dc2.
What kind of fuel was on it when you did the dyno? Regular 95 or higher?
Shell VPower 99
Cool
That was very VERY EXPENSIVE . €200 to €250 in Ireland on a rolling road for remap and you didn’t gain much …
That would mean the tuner is basically doing it for free as revup license is not cheap.
Well everyone with a rolling road is changing around that money here and I really thought it would have been cheaper over there .
I couldn’t believe how much I really thought he made a mistake in the video..
@@midnightrider6985 will not be a custom remap will be a plug and play for that cost due to revup costs
An intake would make a difference on your car or at least performance filters!
The in take is sufficient, just needs the velocity stack mod inside the standard box and a drop in performance filter
Performance filters do not add anything. Ive been tuning engines and doing dyno runs for 26yrs. Most "Cone filters" as people call them generally cause a loss of 4bhp due to taking in hot air from the engine bay. Even performance panel filters do not add anything other than a bit of induction noise.
@@dj_paultuk7052do there are no aftermarket market intakes that for the 350z that improve performance? 🧢s hats off to Nissan they did a great job
@@dj_paultuk7052 I went with mishimoto box and was dyno tuned on that. Later on iw added intake pipe mostly for looks. I consider that mishimoto box only proper upgrade over stock. I could use retune now with hfc and intake pipe change bet lost some power from cats deffo gained some low end torque over test pipes. Now it passes emissions i was sick of swapping test pipes every year for mot and paying extra 100 cause of that lol.
