She's BACK!!! + Gauge Pods & DRL's
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2021
- Over the past two months I have been working to get my Nissan 370Z back on the road, after a complication with the supercharger install left my car with low oil pressure and timing issues. I discuss what went wrong with the VTC solenoid which caused the failure, and also talk about the new a-pillar gauge pods that I installed, along with the DRL's which were put on back in October.
I also talk about my upcoming videos, including a video on how to tune your Z34, a Q & A with my remote tuner Eugene Turkov, and dyno results of my boosted Z Car soon to come!

I would love to see a parts list and links. You’ve been a great resource as I’m building my Z
Great to see her alive and kickin', happy new year dude! Man, im so inspired to get my Z boosted too, never experienced to having "boost face" like you did hahahaj 🤣
Those EVO R LEDs are really bad, I went through a lot before deciding to take action. Just an idea, but I gutted out the EVO R LEDs so it was just the metal housing (can be done easily by jamming a small screwdriver through the back and popping out the lense) and then got the "Custom Made Board [7x4] 4P Bi-Color, Plain ver. 600x600mil" from Corso Motion which fit great inside the same metal housing. I then soldered the same wires from the EVO R LEDs to the Corso Motion LEDs and ran the wires through the back of the metal housing. I then used epoxy to seal them from the front and back, which gives them a little lense too if you pour enough epoxy on the front. I guess you can then hook them up to any 12V thats active when the ignition is on, but i went for using a GHOZT lighting module to control them.
Nice video! I just got my car back last week, from Dynosty in Louisville and it put down 627whp. I agree with you that this is an amazing kit and my only critique is the annoying flutter/chirp. Please inform us if you ever go with bov/spring setup that prevents/lessen the flutter. Keep up the great work!
Glad you got the Z back on the road, it's starting to come together, awesome job man 👍
very cool man, i have one that is very close to what you have just a auto. so following closely. Had lots of belt slip up in the rev range but tightened it up today, all good now but it bogs a bit on shifts at full throttle.
Great you are back! Too bad that you couldn't enjoy it for the past two months for such a simple broken part. It looks noisier than what I expected but on the inside I couldn't notice it
It's not too bad with the windows up, though the flutter is definitely noticeable!
Can you do boost control via 3 port solenoid valve! You can do boost control via an ECUTEK flashed ECU. Would be very interesting video to watch (i plan to do it myself with TT)
Also you may be able to cut boost in response to traction control not sure. Anyway it's awesome you're back making videos and the car is back on the road. One of my favourite channels. Happy new year
Also Galeforce PODS! amazing! I just came across his build realizing he's from ontario like me. Going to be getting some pods from him for sure myself!
Ask Eugene: Do you select closed loop in ecutek so it’s constantly searching for your inputs from startup to shutdown?
Ortiz Custom Pods makes pods from factory parts or you can send yours in. I'm waiting on my dual pods now. Thanks for the video. Keep it up.
Your 370z looks good...nice set up👍
Welcome back fella!
How does this channel not have more subscribers?? Best 370z content by far
Chang the spring in the blow off valve
I love how vortech SC noises at idle
Damn, I have that same exact Hood from Fly1 Motorsports! What year is your car? Is it a nismo or did you put the bumpers on? I'm currently installing the Soho air-to-air supercharger kit by myself in my garage on a 2014 low mileage manual Sport.
You should install the larger radiator as soon as possible. These motors are prone to over heat NA. The radiator will significantly lower coolant temp which should in turn help with oil temps.
The Vortech sounds nice.. and glad you are back Carizon! i have been debating between a single turbo and supercharger kit.. and beginning to lean to SC. Even though this question might seem silly.. Given all the extra power.. what would you estimate your MPG's are?
Bot sure if this question was intended for the Q and A but since the Q and A will be for tuning questions I'll answer this here. I've been keep track of my fuel economy and am making 18.8mpg combined highway and city.
Best, intro, ever!
Great to see update -- I've watched a good number of your videos for some guidance on my 2011 370z Sport (also pearl white!) Located in Houston btw. N/A for now I haven't taken that financial dive yet! Your journey with your project is inspirational, very glad to see major issues resolved by an explainable cause.
I do have a question for you -- what width are your tires on the rear? And what tires are you considering next? I have 285 potenza S-04s on rear...while they perform well they have lost tread faster than I would've hoped. Guess you can't have it all, and I knew that would be the downside going into it. I also don't have 500 WHP or even higher that you are going to...do people go 305 and wider for a build like this? Spinning in 4th would scare the piss out of me, but maybe it's something you just get used to.
Best of luck, I'm excited for tuning / dyno updates.
Alec, I have 275's in the rear, 245 up front. It's tough to say if they need to be wider, I originally ran 305's in the back but they just didn't fit snug on the wheel and had a ton of play. I think the type of tire/tread material is more important. That's why I want to go with a softer tire, but it does mean tread life will be compromised.
Great 🤩
I’m going to be doing the TopGunz Kit as well, but do want it to be quiet because I’m in Cali and don’t want the cops attention to much. But I found a video that actually puts a Suppresser on the BOV and supposedly quiets it by 60%! Great Video, definitely going to shout you out when I record my vids on me installing it! 👌🏽
I have just had smc suppression solution from Patrick forsman in Sweden to screw onto the tial he assured me I won't hear it at all after fitted
@@nicholashollingsworth2670 do you currently have it on your car or you recently just order it from him ?
@@Speedycory6 I just received it from him
Ill get it on and do a comparison
I have pictures but can't ad them here
@@nicholashollingsworth2670 what’s your IG? Would love too see it! Because that’s literally the only thing turning away from the supercharger vs Turbo. I have exhaust cutouts that allow me to be extremely loud when I want to and quiet when I close them which is why I don’t want my supercharger extremely loud all the time !
@@Speedycory6 I am interested too. My kit will have the Precision Turbo 50mm BOV, and I want to further limit the noise at low RPMs.
did you film a video of boost gauge install?
Question for your Q&A! Do you recommend the evo-r spoiler?
The Q & A will be for tuning related questions so I'll answer that one for you here: The EVO R spoiler is great, the shape is accurate to be functional, though no tests were conducted to prove that. It looks great, it's held up so far for the two years I've had it, so far no yellowing of the clear. And it's adjustable! The cost is the only downside since you will have to spend four digits but, I think it's worth it.
How much work was required to re-route the wiring for the gauges from the glove compartment to the driver's-side pillar, and how did you address the now holes in your glove compartment? The cheap universal pillar I purchased on line doesn't fit and the SOHO pillar cannot be ready until a month after purchase (their supplier makes them when ordered). I should be picking up my car from Dynosty on Friday, April 2, but my gauges will be in the glove department. I'm trying to get a sense of whether it will be worth it to order a proper 2-gauge pillar and re-locate the gauges. Any insight would be appreciated.
Do you have a link to there a pillar out of curiosity? Wire rerouting wasn't bad, though getting the wires up from the floor board to the pillar can be tough if you don't take the entire dash apart. And I never addresses the holes in the glove box. No one looks in there.
@@thecarizon504 I don't have a link. Before ultimately choosing the ACE Kit and Dynosty, I reached out to SOHO about parts, labor and tuning. They had the pillar as part of my listed parts, but it's not on their website. When Dynosty told me that they would need to put the gauges in the glove box, I reached out to Nick about getting the pillar that had been listed on my parts listing. Unfortunately, neither SOHO nor the vendor keeps inventory of the pillars. Once they are ordered, it takes a month to get the pillar made and back from the vendor. I told Nick that I would likely be calling him back on the pillar, but I want to make sure that I am not looking at a huge (hourly) project, as I won't be doing the work.
Sounds like you may need some street slicks to get her to hook
I watch TJ Hunt and he has a 370z for drifting and he noticed the same hot oil temperature. What he did was get a larger oil pan for an extra quart of oil. After doing that he has experienced lower oil temps. That might help alot too.
Im not the most car smart but i have a 370z as well and love the car.
Yeah that definitely could be worth a shot!
Z1's 370z turbo had issues with heating, with a bigger radiator and dual oil coolers... The solution they came with is to put a VR30TT. For extreme track racing it overheats, for regular user it should be fine with existing options without getting rid of the 3.7. (Source: ruclips.net/video/tLYvKnrZVfg/видео.html )
How do you feel about the engine life ? Like isn’t it too much power for the stock motor?
I've heard the VQ's are fine handling 500whp no issues. But the majority of the drivimg around town is below 3.5k rpm and half throttle, how you drive it and the safety margins of the tune are the most important things. Eugene and I will discuss this in the Q and A
Q/A question: do you recommend tuning the 370z with an admin tune for burbles with a catback litespeed exhaust and K&N intakes only as mods?
k&n intakes are short ram and arent very good. you wont gain any power with those, i recommend buying admins 3 in intakes. as for your exhaust, ive never heard of litespeed so i cant give you any feedback there. if you want power id go with isr or ppe headers (longtubes)
@@juliancc4710 got it thanks Julian
@@juliancc4710 look up Litespeed 370z exhaust and first link has alot of info on it
@@iTeHee no prob bro
Z Nation rise up.
Try launching in 2nd gear. The Z is geared pretty low. It will also save you on a shift. :-)
I had to leave a like for that intro!
And btw if you ever do want the triple gauge pods ortizcustompods on IG makes any kind of pod you need! I was going to go with him if I ever do go supercharger/turbo route.
Bro I had the same codes for my car! Wtf! This is crazy I even made a video on it
Is regular Stillen much quitter then?
Was always hoping to make a sleeper Z one day, so it drives and sounds like stock. I had success with my other car in the past.
The original stillen kit is a bit quieter in part due to the lower boost levels which din't require a BOV.
@@thecarizon504 darn, will need to rethink my approach
My Q&A has to do with exhaust options. I am currently running a 2.5 Fast Intensions Cat Back Exhaust with Fast Intensions Hi Flow Cats. I'll be running a flex fuel kit and want some type of Cat for smell and emissions testing (OBDII but no sniffer). Will both the factory cats and Fast Intensions Hi Flow cats be viable options for me or is one much better than the other?
Good question, I can bring it up in the Q and A. Just to clarify, you are currently running factory cats AND hi flows? And are you emissions tested or do they just check the check engine light?
@@thecarizon504 I am currently running the High Flow Cats with the FI Catback, as the stock cats are in my basement. I'm wondering whether heat, tuning, emissions, or other factor(s) makes stock cats or high flow cats the better option with the ACE Supercharger. For Emissions, they just plug into my computer once every two years - there is no sniffer placed in the tailpipe.
@@thecarizon504 I’m actually curious on this question as well. I currently have Fast Intentions RHFC but am considering going back to stock cats to quiet it down a bit. Looks like the power ceiling is plenty high with the Rotorex kit, so not worried about that
The only input I have on this is that high flow cats are probably best, but modifying the emissions control system is going to be illegal no matter how you slice it, and there's no guarantee HFC's will pass emissions.
But keeping the stock cats will severely restrict flow and could potentially suffer damage from increases exhaust pressure and are at a higher risk of becoming clogged
@@thecarizon504 I eventually elected to put the stock cats back on the car. I had called Fast Intentions in order to get my 34 row oil cooler and I inquired about the options. They told me to take the HFCs off and sell them because they would not withstand the heat. The advised that stock cats were much better built for the heat, but they too will eventually give out. At the high power levels available for either the ACE or Rotorex kits, giving up a few ponies in exchange for addressing the e85 smell and neighbor killing noise is worth it.
Question for Q&A: is it possible to get a quality tune and maximize performance while on the street, or is a dyno absolutely required? Are there specific limitations that occur while street tuning?
This is possibly my favorite subject that eugene and I want to cover in the Q and A. We'll definitely be touching on it!
@@thecarizon504 Awesome. I look forward to it :)
Street tune is just fine.
Love the video, love the super charger kit. How much does it cost? I have a Blue 2012 370z. Thinking about doing something like that for mine. Thanks for all the info that you can give me .
I'll do a cost video at some point but between supporting mods and the kit, expect to spend MINIMUM 8k if you are buying new 10k if you are having some one else install it.
Thank you for the information. Wow that's a lot of money.
@@larrywhite8282 forced induction is an expensive business for sure. You may be able to find a used kit for up to a few grand cheaper.
@@thecarizon504 yes it is for sure 👍. When I get my car paid off, I'm going to try and do some upgrades on it.
Where did you get your gauge pod holder from?! I can’t seem to find them anywhere and I’m waiting on back order. Thanks let me know!!
The a pillar double pod, or the individual pods I had in the globe box?
@@thecarizon504 the pillar pod for the boost and afr gauge
@@amanns807 they are custom made by @galeforce370z you can find him on IG
@@thecarizon504 Fersure thank you brotha! 👏🏽
@@amanns807 His looks great and is high quality. I am going with a cheap alternative (under $20) at Amazon. www.amazon.com/AUTOXBERT-Pillar-Bracket-Nissan-Skyline/dp/B087CW8RYT
Car looks and runs amazingly! What's the brand of your hood, and have you experienced any negative issues with it?
Fly1 ams gt hood. It does flutter a lot in the wind, been meaning to get hood latches.
@@thecarizon504 I am waiting on my Top Gunz kit and have been monitoring the fluttering noise discussed on the 370z forum. I plan to daily the car, and I am concerned about the noise levels. Don't want to add to it with hood noises at high speeds. Have you researched silencers for the BOV?
@@brianjackson5732 to clarify, when I say the hood flutters, it's silent, but the cf flexes a lot.
As for the flutter, silencers on the bov won't fix it because the noise comes through the impeller in the sc unit itself. Silencers on the bov will only help improve the woosh from the bov when it opens, but wouldn't fix the flutter. Aaron from topguns said that the k amd n filters from the original kit helped quiet the flutter noise.
@@thecarizon504 Got it. It's my understanding that the K&N filter robs the kit of horsepower. I guess that's the sacrifice that I have to make. I found a cheap two-gauge pillar. But it looks like its 12 inches long. Today, I measured the stock pillar and it's a lot longer than 12 inches. Do you know the length of your two-gauge pillar?
@@brianjackson5732 you can always daily drive with the filter on, and then take it off for a track day/dyno pull.
What oil do you use?
I use castrol edge for engine oil.
What tire setup are you running?
Nitto NT555G2's 275/35 R19 front, 255/?? R19 front with some crap tires I am running temporarily until I get an alignment.
@@thecarizon504 Oh ok. Im running hankook ventus v12 evo 2 295/30 in the rear but i still spin and im not even boosted 😂. So im going 305 next time.
What are you making for boost?
Supposed to make 14ibs, making closer to 13, need to tighten the belt.
Not bad I have a 2004 g35 with a vortex kit on it only made about 8lbs
you didnt get it tuned on a dyno ? you really need to see your numbers
I'm going to see them once we are done tuning the car.
@@thecarizon504 ya that's cool really interested to hear. The air to air ethanol kits for these superchargers make some crazy numbers and still conservative on the torque so it's safer for the trans and diff. Especially since ur in texas in the heat and e85 abundant maybe it's worth a look to go ethanol
Soho motorsports can get the triples
