Supercharger Review - TopGuns ACE Kit on My 370Z 

Really appreciate it, seriously thank you. 🙏

@@thecarizon504 agree with him, i have more knowledge myself, the fuel pump work is intimidating, installing that supercharger looks easy however

Thank you so much, glad the recent efforts to improve the video quality and editing haven't gone unnoticed!

It should be adjustable like the one on the DE vortech kit. Idk why anyone changed that.

lmao same, they’re like the new 240s

still think g bodies are ugly at though

same

my buddy just got a 09. i drove it. i wasnt impressed. but he got it for 12,500 (which is great) and i drive a V10 R8, which is a completely different kind of thing, so, im biased and everyone should go and build the car of their dreams! but! the Z didnt like high RPM shifts, clutch was high, and the power dissappeared at 135-140mph.

@@bruceparkinson2651 rich ass

He deserves to be the first one to get a buyback upgrade! great resource for all of us Z and G enthusiasts with great quality content. With that said I also want to get in line for the buyback too xD

Just fixed a bent tie rod from that incident the other day. Yeah she is almost completely recovered from it, still have to replace the core support at some point.

IG, dm me @the_carizon

Hey have you had to upgrade anything? Transmission or anything?

@@Me.Cruz123 Yes I upgraded the clutch with a Z1 clutch and went ahead and did the Z1 slave cylinder kit. I highly recommend the kit. Since you're pulling the tranny to put a new clutch in. other than that I did the "musts'' fuel pump, fuel injectors and ecutek . bolt ons are fun but after a while of having a car that sounded fast now I have one that is fast!! highly recommend the s/c route if your on the fence

@@Me.Cruz123 hey man, not the original poster but if you are on an auto your good to go if your in a manual you definitely wanna upgrade the clutch

@@ricardocasas2496 what did that cost you total?

@@Unxpekted I had purchased and installed a new Z1 clutch about 4 months prior in preparation for the s/c . I had purchased z1 fuel injectors and have since replaced them with Injector Dynamics (highly recommend ID) All in I was around $9000.00 ''ish'' includes install and tuning. The initial mishap I had was the supercharger belt breaking due to a loose pully. It was a new kit at the time and a replacement belt was a BITCH to find. At the time supply issues made it difficult to find so the wait time was awful. All in all when it's all said and done I couldn't be happier. It really is worth it and other than the ''bad luck'' pully the system is very reliable and damn near maintenance free. I was on the fence of s/c or twin t's and it came down to reliability vs double the trouble and double the maintenance. I went to the ends of the internet doing my research and it was The Carizon videos that made my decision for me. Plenty of juice and lots of PSSSSSSSSSSSH a true head turner and plants your ass in the seat when you hammer it!

Thanks! I've been working to step up the editing. Glad it's going noticed!

Stock block

OEM is not 350whp it's 350 HP at the crank

Glow shift digital fuel pressure and boost gauges

Most important thing is tires, diff second. I definitely get good tracking from an LSD but want to get out od the NT555 tires

@@thecarizon504 r888 seems to be what everyone leans towards

Right?!?! That thing is a pain to install from what I heard.

Me too! Picked up my ace kit from his crib😂

Where’s he from?

@@ZRIEST Minnesota!

@@xStaySkilledx damn I’m in Pennsylvania, does he do the tuning there ? Or would have to get tuned by a shop?

Talk with Aaron, but I think it sits between the bov and the intake plumbing/intercooler.

Eugene Turkov from Enthusiast Autocare

@@thecarizon504 Lol that’s great! He’s amazing... I had no idea ... he flashed my last 07 350z ECU for me... lol That’s interesting :-) Thanks

Not as familiar with the 350 but I believe there is a stillen kit

Under powered for the price I think. Plus the manifold is a pain to install.

200 to the stores, 220 on the freeway / pulls which.

@@thecarizon504 I'm also seeing about 200-205 when driving around town, 215-220 on the highway, but 230-240 when I open it up. My coolant temps are staying between 200-215. So, it looks like I am overreacting to the temps. But, I also get the dreaded p300 (random misfires) ever so often. My spark plugs are new and I got my MAF sensors and throttle bodies cleaned two weeks ago. I have not felt any symptoms at idle, cruising, or getting into high boost. Not sure how concerned I should be about the random misfires.

@@brianjackson5732 if you are still working with your tuner I'd give them a chat ans see if it could be tune related. Do you only get the misfires when running hot?

@@thecarizon504 That's a good question. It normally happens when I am high in the RPMs, but I had not paid attention to the temps. I ran the car pretty hard over the past two nights to see if I could replicate the event while data logging. But, you know that cars don't cooperate when you are trying to diagnosis an issue. I am going to try to get a log when I get a code. I talked to Eugene and will be sending him and my original tuner a copy of the log once I replicate the code.

No experience with it and haven't seen it in person but from what I can see online, it's marginally more expensive, longer to install, doesn't look as great IMHO, and the stock manifold is superior to the stillen one from a heat soak standpoint.

Yeah that's because he hasn't released his new kit yet. I believe he is taking pre-orders soon. Visit the370Z forum to see his thread.

Eli.. do you even watch videos before posting?... He left us on a cliff hanger and said it isn't available lol...

55k

220 cruising

A turbo shop will absolutely be able to do this install, its much easier than a turbo kit.

Definitely been thinking on it. 😆

@@thecarizon504 Seeee... lol. I’m probably going to get most of the supporting mods this year, and order the Boosted Performance twin turbo kit next year. I gotta wait until after June cuz we’re having our house built in Northlake so I can’t do much with $$$ right now lol.

Im getting the z1 rotrex kit installed on my z and ill be taking a 16 hour trip in December hopefully everything goes good

I would talk to Aaron from top guns. Should be an easy modification.

Evo-R GT wing.

Yeah, it uses the QRJ bov and a silencer that aaron sourced. I would get in touch with him if you want to snag one.

@@thecarizon504 I will. I am dropping the car off on Monday, March 15. I will email Aaron. Thanks for the information!

@brian Jackson There is actually a thread on the 370Z forum that was posted today in regards to flutter. Personally I switched to the Tial-Q with a modified 2psi spring and it helped a lot to reduce the sound but it's still there. Definitely worth it tho because I couldn't stand the flutter from the PT50...it was unbearable. Aaron stated in the thread that he will be providing ACE customers the silencer for free. Now we just wait...😔

@@godzzla_z3438 Which thread. I'd like to read about it.

@@brianjackson5732 it's under the Forced Induction section.

I know that the cams limit the torque NA around like 6.5/7k, had originally thought this as well.

lol one guy says its theoretical as a function of math and the other says it's mechanical in the engine. I'd agree in this case the engine gets flow limited up top.

@@nighthawk0077 pretty sure half of what that guy spouted is wrong but didn't want to say anything.

You said bpv (bypass valve)......

I got 1050's from injector dynamics, you can order them here: www.z1motorsports.com/fuel-system/injector-dynamics/injector-dynamics-fuel-injectors-set-of-p-13280.html This is what I am using for fuel system, with dual 340's and one 340 as a lift pump: www.radiumauto.com/Fuel-Hanger-Surge-Tank-Nissan-370Z-P1730.aspx

The whole point of a BOV is to release excess pressure from the system when the throttle bodies close. This is especially important with superchargers as they will keep producing boost at rpm even when not giving it gas, so you need to bleed that pressure off.

@@thecarizon504 so why challengers does not make that sound

@@sherlonio it looks like it uses an electronically controlled bypass valve which probably recirculates back into the intake making it a lot quieter.

I linked the cost breakdown video in one of the shots. (See the part where I was talking about cost)

$5300 - $9000

He's got a new kit going out next month!

I'll check it out. Just need a few things like upgraded fuel pump and a couple of other things. But I like it. Durability is a must for a daily.

Don't. Go single turbo and make a good financial decision

@@clintpopham5691 instant boost > or built up boost hmmmmmmmm

It's hard not to be tempted to do pulls in this car.

@@thecarizon504 I just refilled, 16.5mpg pure highway. Oh boy... No more 150, 120 is enough.

They are called 'Prochargers' which is a supercharger that has the same volute shape as a twin screw/whipple supercharger.

@@thecarizon504 I know bro, I was playing

I was using the term boost loosely when describing how it felt. This wasn't intended to be a technical write up on SC operation.

Wait for his new kit next month. It's insane.

That's what you are supposed to be using, I only put 93 in mine. When boosted you should shoot for E85 but it's not strictly necessary.
