Very nice power by twin turbo. You got the red sport 400 ?

@LayzeLyfe

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah. It's a Red Sport 400. I drove both engine types and I had to have the extra oomph!

Just some helping advice. 1. You dont have to take the front shroud off. 2. When you separate the enclosure, you'll see two little notches on the bottom front part of the enclosure. The back half of the enclosure has little "Feet" at each side on the bottom. I put the feet into the notches first, pry the enclosure a part just a bit then drop the filter in, its a very tight fit but it ensures your bottom isn't separated when you put the clamps on the top left and right. I have a 2018 Q50 tuned on ECUtek, fast intentions full down pipe / cat back exhaust and Z1 BOV's to help keep the turbos healthy. Rocks 450whp 498lb torque. I run these air filters and havent had an issue, love em!

Thanks for the advice. I will try that on my next oil change! Nice setup! Without the cats, do you smell alot of unburnt gas fumes? How loud is that setup. I was thinking just lower DP, Cat back, and a Tune. I want the power but not too much extra noise. Actually DailyQ50's Exhaust setup is the sheet. I don't know how much that would cost though.

@@LayzeLyfe You smell the gas a bit, yes. Although, it doesnt come into the cabin but if you're at a stop with the windows down, you'll smell it a bit. The Exhaust has a 14inch Resonator on it. Really loud between 4-6k RPM but crusin on the highway you can't hear it. Now they make a 10inch non res and thats loud pretty much all the time and i didnt want that. Im lowered with 10.5x20's all the way around so instead of going with Greddy I went with Fast Intentions. The mufflers themselves don't come near the ground compared to the greddy but a good exhaust will cost between 1500-2000 for a 2.5inch.

Np prob, it's really easy. Look in the recent comments on this vid. Someone else made some good pointers that I didn't know.

I gotta tell you that my '18 Q50 Hybrid had aftermarket filters that were made in Poland already installed. I replaced them with OEM. The perimeter where the filter fits into the housing fits a little snugger, so the filter doesn't wiggle around as much. The gasket part is a little thinner on the OEM and easier to get the covers back in place. The twin turbo model working space is tighter than the Hybrid.

Have you thought of leaving off the top shroud to help heat up the motor and heat up the cabin quickly by turning it into a warm short ram intake

@LayzeLyfe

2 жыл бұрын

Aftermarket intakes do that. With the stock box I would imagine the top shroud really helps funnel the air int the boxs. That's why i keep it on. There is a vid done that shows on a dyno that the stock setup with high flow filters are better than most aftermarket intakes.

@@LayzeLyfe ok thats true cold air is denser. I was just saying in the winter if it took a long time to warm up the antifreeze it'll take a while to warm up the radiator to the heater core. Plus more fuel to more oxygen rich dense air might just spin the tires for daily commute when i need warmer air for the cockpit it probably won't overheat the motor if the ambient temperature is like 25 to 55 even in march and april these days lol? Just saying

Next time unbolt the front pieces (2 bolts). It gives you that extra space you need without risking breaking the intakes :)

I have never had a problem like this changing an air filter before on any car. I can't believe that Infiniti made this so hard to do. It is a very tight fit, Infiniti should have given at least another 1/4 inch of room for this. In the Infiniti Ms and the Gs, changing the air filter was so easy. This just sucks, I don't look forward to changing the filter in the Q60 at all.
