Going for 600+WHP on my Z1 Supercharged 370Z

[@angelcolon2026]

One of the best Z’s I’ve ever seen. Very clean build.

[@Niishmo]

Thank you, I really appreciate that 🙏

[@thestockg37]

thanks for sharing! was always curious how the admin remote tune works 😎👌

[@Niishmo]

No problem! I hope it helped!

[@fernandohood5542]

@@Niishmo Ecutek makes the remote tuning possible.

[@v36vhr]

​@Niishmo do you have a fuel return system?

[@Niishmo]

@@v36vhrsorry man just saw your comment, but yes I do. I have the CJ S1.E kit with a flex fuel kit as well

[@CynisterZ]

Awesome Z, looks and sounds great. And I know this is random but could you possibly tell me what rearview mirror that is? I want it for mine lol

[@Niishmo]

Thank you! Yeah no problem, I got mine on Amazon. It’s a wolf box mirror dash cam. If you search that up, it’ll be one of the first ones that pops up

[@CynisterZ]

@@Niishmo awesome thank you!

[@QTL-life-NC]

Hey brother! Nice z and video What is the big screen in the middle you have it there?

[@Niishmo]

Thanks brotha. It’s a head unit from Workshop12, they sell everything needed to run this on a your Z

[@yungshenanigan]

so good bro, cant wait to boost my G

[@Niishmo]

Thanks bro! You’ll love it

[@v36vhr]

​@Niishmo what fuel pump were you running at the time of this video? Did you have a fuel return as well??

[@derekwhitman9354]

Best Z on KZbin 🔥

[@Niishmo]

Appreciate that man! 🙏

[@Egnartz]

Been loving the progress. Was originally going to go supercharger with my Z but changed my mind recently. What head unit do you use and how did you have the GoPro set up? Wanting to datalog via a head unit like that and all my GoPro footage seems to be too high if I use a hat mount

[@Niishmo]

Thanks man! I have a workshop 12 head unit, it’s pretty much an android tablet that runs everything. I just used a head mount with an adjustable mount for the GoPro. I adjusted it to face downward and it seemed to work out.

[@Egnartz]

@@Niishmo Awesome. I'll look into that unit for sure. I liked how you could put your fingers on the screen and pull down to change volume and such. My exhaust is rather loud so I don't use the sound system much anymore but still a cool feature

[@03-AALIYAH-Supplice]

Where did you get the plate above the radiator and the dipstick? It's super rad and thinking of getting it myself. Sick build btw!

[@Niishmo]

I got it from @mazterpiece_automotive on IG! He has a ton of other titanium dress up for the Z’s as well. Thanks!!

[@tahkyenoysavanh8334]

Are you running a fuel return system in this video? Just wondering because I thought i that was needed to go E85. nice build brotha

[@Niishmo]

I am running one yes. CJM S1.E fuel return, you definitely need a fuel return to do E but it’s a good idea to have one even if you’re going to be running pump gas.

[@v36vhr]

​@Niishmo I have a 2014 q60s aka g37 and thanks to you I'll be buying the z1 kit too. Do you know if I could safely run the 80mm pulley with a 340lph pump, 1050x injectors and z1 fuel return on pump 93? I see boost will be in the 13-16 psi range. Can this setup handle 13-16 psi? My goal is 550-580 whp and 400-425 wtq. Thanks bro!

[@curyman000]

How was your oil and coolant temp prior to the new radiator ?

[@Niishmo]

Prior to radiator and with ambient temperatures of 105+, oil would sit around 215/220 if in standstill traffic or if driving on the freeway. Coolant would sit around the same, but there were a few times where it got up to 230+ because of being stuck in traffic or driving for longer periods of time on the freeway. CSF rad made a HUGE difference, I don't ever see above 215 coolant temps now. Oil temps are lower too.

[@Sastisyesno]

Looks like you put in the new gauges. What adapter did you use for the oil sensor? Also, what phone mount is that.

[@Niishmo]

Yup, I replaced all my glow shift ones with AEM. I extended the oil pressure harness myself since there are no plug and play harnesses out there currently. Phone mount is just a vent mounted one off Amazon.

[@Sastisyesno]

​@Niishmo thanks man, have you experienced any heatsoak, beside hot weather where your at. Like normal temperature, spirit driving etc.

[@mikeymilli0ns]

So you can do everything on your phone? You don’t need to plug in a laptop to the car?

[@Niishmo]

Correct! PhoneFlash makes it super easy.

[@mikeymilli0ns]

@@Niishmo damn no 350z or G35 compatibility. I was about to say, how have I not heard of this lol 😂

[@andyjolson6586]

Does you belt hit the bigger lower coolant hose

[@b3nkocarnik]

It does not

[@Niishmo]

No it doesn’t, it’s close but does not hit

[@EatYourFood5]

Do you have a link for front panel. I like how that screen looks. It replaces that compartment cubby on the dash.

[@Niishmo]

Yes sir, here is that link: workshoptwelve.com/products/nissan-370z?srsltid=AfmBOoqEkBik0QV2IoXFkpqTYNkJv_0mII1SAySAe7sJ2rLqDwOEL_I4

[@jessejuliano8056]

bro this is sick! what a great build.

[@Niishmo]

Thank you bro, really appreciate that!

[@cj41079]

830th sub here.... Here for Mexico content 😂😂

[@Niishmo]

Haha that will be coming as soon as the temps drop here in AZ. We just had a 115 degree day yesterday, boost season can't come soon enough! Appreciate the sub!

[@lostunder12]

is that a catch can you have? would you be so kind as to lmk where you got it? also how did you get ecutek to talk to your tablet? mine won't connect

[@Niishmo]

Yes, I made a custom dual catch can setup since nothing on the market currently fits with the Z1 supercharger. They are small dual baffled catch cans from Amazon. Working great so far. I just turned on Bluetooth and downloaded the EcuTek app on to the tablet, never had any issues with it.

[@lostunder12]

@@Niishmo Thanks, I have ones made by ADDW1 dual baffled cans (it was an impulse buy) so I guess I'm gonna have to fab up a bracket for it. Must be the tablet I have, it won't connect with the ECUTECK OBD dongle at all, but my phone works great no issues there. I'm sure you heard of the topgunz SC kit, what made you choose the Z1 kit instead?

[@paolaalvarez2710]

Great video babe! You explained everything so well

[@Niishmo]

Thank you babe! 😘

[@wesoakes]

Did he bring the redline down to keep it from making 16 pounds or just going to run it?

[@Niishmo]

Just going to run it for now, boost ramp is slow so motor should last long as long as I’m not beating it 24/7.

[@wolf1597]

You need to get the csf triple pass radiator and mishimoto 66c thermostat i run it on my z runs around 180f

[@Niishmo]

The CSF rad I have is the triple pass one, works good enough as is without the Mishimoto thermostat. I might look into it in the future though, thanks!

[@theoracleprodigy]

Sorry is anything exciting after a r1?

[@Niishmo]

Can’t even compare the two

[@theoracleprodigy]

@@Niishmo Your right. It would take 1500hp to come close...

[@fernandohood5542]

I can see a well sized turbo eating your for lunch on dig. Boost comes in really late.

[@Niishmo]

Don’t even care for digs in this car, but think about how quick rpms climb in 1st gear. I am hitting boost fairly quick after launching. Now, yeah a turbo can build boost at the line so that’s an advantage there. Pros and cons to both for sure. Turbo always tends to be faster if set up right on these cars.

[@victorfilmsZ]

What rear view mirror is that ?

[@CRAZY-nv9cz]

wolfbox

[@Niishmo]

It is Wolfbox mirror dash cam from Amazon. I've had it for 2+ years now on 2 different cars and it has worked great.

Nice man! Congrats on the new car. I’m usually always at some meets throughout the month, I’m sure I’ll see you there at some point!

[@Rhelentless]

@ heck ya bro!

[@eward08]

Is that a carb sticker you have? If so how? Lol

[@Niishmo]

Yeah it is, but it was for the Z1 intakes I had before I boosted. Thought it was be a clever way to trick some cops into thinking the kit was carb legal lol

[@kousterx]

@@Niishmo You need a CARB sticker for Arizona? I thought CARB is California Air Resource Board. Wouldn't it be AARB sticker then? Asking for a friend. I can't buy some Z1 stuff for my car cause they won't ship it here in Cali due to it not being CARB legal (Z1 airbox intake for 2005 g35). Nice Z !!

[@BFG2021]

I think we got the same name lol

[@Malficion]

I really would not go 600whp+ on SC. The engine is really doing 700whp+ since the engine needs to power the SC.

[@WadesR20vvl]

I was thinking the same thing bro

[@Niishmo]

Yes, a supercharger takes power to make power. It is roughly 10hp for every pound of boost. So if I’m pushing 16psi at redline, it’s taking 160hp to spin that supercharger at that boost level. But that doesn’t mean that if I’m making 600whp, that in reality I’m doing 760whp. There would be no 600+whp SC stock block VQ’s out there if this was 100% true. They would all blow up after a few high boost pulls.

[@corvettezr1ism]

​​​@@Niishmoyou're right actually. The engine isn't seeing 760hp in its internals. After power losses it's only seeing 600hp to it's internals. The extra 160 HP is being lost by the supercharger belt and being turned into work being done by the SC. Energy can't be lost, it's always transferred into smth else. But hp isn't what kills engines. It's actually the torque rating as HP is just a derivative of torque at 5252rpms. Remember you can't calculate hp without torque.

[@corvettezr1ism]

What I would rec'd is that he dial down the boost a bit. Looks like max capacity is for 16lbs. For reliability reasons that should be toned down to 14lbs if there's a way. I'm not sure how you can do that on SC setup

[@ZRIEST]

Keep it under 550tq , 450tq to be safe frl.. , nice broski 🙌🏽
