Supercharger Install Ep. 6 - Top Guns Ace Kit Install

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I detail the installation of the Top Guns ACE supercharger kit on my Nissan 370Z sports car. This kit is an air-to-air conversion of the original Stillen kit for the Z34 Z car, and the Infiniti G37. It features a Vortech V3 Si procharger, painted intake plumbing, and large intercooler. Under 14 pounds of boost, this kit should make by 370Z's VQ37 reach 525WHP.
I highly recommend watching my previous video on Turbo Chargers vs Superchargers to understand why I chose the supercharger route:

    29:08 if you hold your hand up close behind a small object that won't easily come into focus...it will help focus the camera on it(camera focusing on stuff further off since dipstick is so thin...bring hand up an inch behind dipstick to force camera to refocus on what you're wanting it to). This looks knarly!

    I monetize my videos after the first few days to let subscribers watch it ad free, in terms of the frequency of embedded ads, I don't have control over it outside of turning them off completely. I'll have to go back and watch my own video/see if there's something that can be done. I have driven the car for the first 2500 miles and it has run strong, the car seriously pulls, but I hadn't dyno'd it yet because my tuner and I have been trying to workout an afr+belt slip issue, and an oil leak caused my timing to get thrown off. I'm posting an update video soon.

    Tuner Dub, the Top Guns kit is better imo for the reasons A Didis just mentioned. The use of the factory manifold reduces install time and is superior to the stillen manifold in terms of power. The top guns kit does look cleaner as well, and the color options make it more customizable. No need for the maf extensions which both on the stillen kit and soho kit are known to have problems. As for your question on guages, depends what you want to see. I already have access to afr readings through ecutek, so I try to look at gauges that present more info, like fuel pressure.
