How reliable is a 500HP TUNED Q50 3.0t after ONE YEAR

Thankfully I have not had any major issues overall with having the car tuned for a year now. Overall my experience has been 9/10. The only reason why it's not a 10/10 is that I'm constantly scared of the turbos going out or of something breaking but thankfully nothing has happened yet.

Bro don’t do a flush on the trans just do a drain and fill, and it’s supposed to be every 30k miles that you change the trans fluid other wise that 3rd gear will start to mess up. Usually when people have 3rd hear issues it’s cause the valve body is going out I just replaced mine on my fbo RS

[@josewraps]

Interesting thank you so much bro I didn’t know this. I’ll do some more research. this might even be a good video idea.

[@MultiSwagger4Life]

Facts Drain and refill for the WIN

[@mohamedhosini2103]

Did you the replace the whole TCM unit or just the defective solenoids?

[@RonnyBravoh]

100% because my 3rd gear is trippin and I had to swap out the solenoid and do a flush

[@InpatientBand]

Thank you brother!

[@Andyliu-wx1ij]

Keep up the good work. I love watching your videos

[@josewraps]

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

[@escotavo5049]

You should swap to 5w30 0w20 was meant for better mpg and other regulations and use Nissan gtr filter also manifold gauge pressure is the turbos psi not the boost bank

[@Amberino]

I love watching your videos ❤ keep up the good work

[@josewraps]

Thank you baby.

[@Aspen910]

You should have your oil pressure on your dashboard. SonicTuned has a recent blog post about him seeing a car per month destroy the engine because of an oil solenoid that goes bad. You want to be seeing 50-55psi in high RPMs. The VR30 has a low enough oil pressure as it is, definitely want to be monitoring that. Replacing the part if it’s low can fix the problem and save the motor. And those akebono pads just scream. Pretty normal for performance pads, brake dust build up. It will go away and then pop up on another side. Aston Martin has the loudest brake squeak, so I just pretend I’m in a Aston 😂

Do you only use ow-20? Bc during the summer I was running 5w-30, but colder days ow-20

[@josewraps]

Only 0w-20

[@Gofast8954]

When you ordered your tune, did it come tuned to your vehicle, or do they tune it when you send in your data log? Or did you have to upload your own tune

[@PW.Skyline.V37]

Full remote tuning. Gotta send them data logs

Will the Invidia Gemini exhaust fit a 2021 3.0t?

The pops will be louder if you go full straight pipe but you gotta drop the engine to do it

How many miles are you changing your oil I’m doing mine at 5,000? Nice review!!

[@josewraps]

Right now I’m doing 3k miles

[@jelleklinge9743]

Why, so short, have had a lot of cars only dit oil change every 12500 or 20000 miles. No issues at all. Its the normal manufacturer recommendation here in NL.

[@LuisC202]

​@@jelleklinge9743 Lol on this engine you do not want to go over 3k when tuned

[@Q6IXTY]

Looking to get tuned by AMS. Just moved to Illinois for work. I want their stage 3 package 450whp & 500wtq

[@josewraps]

I wanted to get tuned by AMS as well. They actually don’t do tuning in California so that’s why I had to go with racebox. I will probably say if you want to go reliability go ams and if you want a little more power go racebox. Racebox is good at both reliability and power. Also that’s basically what I have the AMS stage 3 1/2 🤣 I have all the stage 3 things plus low pressure fp, flex fuel, and running e30. Personally I don’t know anyone tuned by AMS but I’m sure you can’t go wrong.

[@josewraps]

Another thing too is that all the parts on my car are AMS except for the Catback (MBRP) and catch can (mishimoto). That made me lean towards getting tuned by AMS however ultimately ended up with Racebox

[@Q6IXTY]

@@josewraps yeah bro I’m from the IE. I would’ve went racebox if I didn’t move to Chicago. I know AMS is able to send base tune files directly to their customers no matter how far but its not a custom tune. I have the fast intentions cat back exhaust on my Q, love the sound of it. MBRP is nice too!

[@josewraps]

@@Q6IXTYonly reason I got the MBRP is because it’s one of the only cat backs that’s 3” which mounts up perfectly to the 3” AMS LDP. Also I love the sound

Those are 3.7 not the 3.0 but they are more reliable than the 3.0 just not as much power. I would look for something still with less miles tho.

[@NicksQFiddy]

do you recommend a tune? i have a 2019 3.0 and have been debating it. i don’t wanna void any warranty, but ive been thinking ab getting a 93 tune. car has 42k miles. just worried about reliability

[@NicksQFiddy]

also this is what i’d buy just so you know what all i’d be doing (incase you recommend something that’s better) Ams downpipes ams heat exchanger ams intakes invidia gemini exhaust and then obviously the ecutek and what not

[@josewraps]

Tbh my car like I said has been good to me so far. I would 10000% recommend getting an oil catch can. I have the mishimoto one. Oil change every 3k miles and you’re good.

Did the lower downpipe and the exhaust help with performance while your were stock

Not at all. Just made it sound nicer. It kind of felt like it but when I raced a stock q50 they were the same.

Engine was stock when it happened. I learned that 2016 and 2017 motors were prone to having porous blocks and that’s what happened to mine. It’s not something I hide I’ve stayed that multiple times in other videos as well. I was back on the road with another engine thanks to Infiniti within a week and a half.
