Nissan 370z Intake Test Shootout!!! ADMINTUNING VS STILLEN VS Z1

[@RiskyRabbit]

Numbers without the Dewla air guide were: *Stillen* 323.75 WHP 265.24 TQ *Z1* 323.23 WHP 266.37 TQ *Admin* 322.46 WHP 265.34 TQ great video thank you for your research to the z community!

[@07wrxtr1]

z1 = no cutting of radiator support needed

[@alienpoker]

But Z1 are not CA (CARB) compliant.

[@C7Tmac]

Is this with a tune ?

[@ryanscanlan9875]

The admin intakes need a spec custom tune - with that it should bring higher number than the others.

[@RiskyRabbit]

Ryan Scanlan that doesn’t make any sense, how are you going to change one of the variables for only 1 of the intakes?

you're only 20 subs away from getting that ad revenue. keep hustling.

[@PR1NCETD0T]

The only thing keeping me from getting the admin is having to tune the car and cutting the core. I’ll most likely go for the Z1’s since they made the most torque and they’re the best bang for your buck.

[@rodrigoguzman4052]

More torque right wuich intake made more Hp

[@PR1NCETD0T]

Rodrigo Guzman torque is more useable than HP... HP only matters in the top end, you aren’t maxing the speedo on the streets especially in an N/A vq.

[@erikgehander7304]

Unless you port the stock Throttlebodies from 60mm to 61mm or buy the daytona non oem with 70mm which is 2.75 inches you wont benefit too much from 3" intakes... you will still have the restriction from the throttlebodies mate :)

[@07wrxtr1]

Heads up: For cleaning/refreshing - the K&N filter cleaner spray works wonders for those that live in the SW where you get that finer powder like sand in the air + the separate oil that comes in a can that you can spray from K&N (they do not come together in a kit). I've found that combo to work really well. I didn't like/enjoy the bottle of oil methodology (this is the cleaning kit)...so get the spray (they make you buy separately), as it's much easier to get even with using the correct amount in order to avoid any MAF issues down the road. I drove through monument valley in a crazy wind storm (apocalypse mad max style!) - When I got home, the next day, popped the front bumper and both intakes were just covered. No amount of washing in the sink or even using a bucket/water method really got them super clean. Using the K&N spray cleaner, then letting them sit for about 15 mins, then back in the bucket with water = looked like new again! Then let sit in sun to dry out for a hour or so, then hit with a light coat of K&N oil spray conditioner

What if u pair the stillen gen 3 or z1 with the velocity stack air intake upgrade from z1?

[@JpCharisma]

Good question but its been proven that Velocity stacks will increase power by 5WHP

I would like to see the z1 vs stillen with those velocity stacks pls make a video for that

[@JpCharisma]

I wouldn’t take the time to make a video of Stillen VS Z1 with velocity stacks. Unless it’s convenient for me. Since there is no significant difference in Horsepower between any intakes.

[@fernandohood5542]

It shocking that so many from a "first world country" do not understand the principles detailed by Bernoulli. You go off buying intakes because a popular tuner sells them.

[@licensetosend8551]

I'll do you all a solid. Want power and have a 350z or a 370? Go Boost. Every other bolt on is a waste of money and time. The VQ platform sucks with bolt ons. Save your money for boost or nitrous.

[@turbointerceptor86]

Which is the best intake?

[@John_the_baptized]

So, wait, you’re telling me that stock diameter intake and larger diameter intake produces about the same power without tuning (I’m aware scaling needed, but that’s not really a tune)?

I’m telling you comparing 3” vs 2.5” intakes power margins are insignificantly different. Ultimately debunking that 3” intakes perform better than 2.5”.

What you need to do is create an after burner setup by drilling and tapping a port for an additional fuel injector that will spray fuel into the exhaust pipe just after the test pipe. The extra thrust will lower your 0 - 60 times and 1/4 mile E.T.s.

[@johnnyboi5661]

I’ve tried z1 and stillen gen 3 intakes, definitely good intake system, but it is a little bit more difficult and time consuming to install. One intake that I’m trying right now is the k&n air intake system with the heat shield, and tbh with you it’s actually quite good, because the heat shield does quite a good job, and there so much gap for air to flow in from the bottom.

[@Will-xp6jh]

Throw the K&N kit in the trash and go back to long tubes. I had the K&N and then switched to Z1. My oil temp was 5-7 degrees cooler and stayed lower when riding it hard. They make more power and they keep your car cooler. There's nothing beneficial to the K&N other than price. They heat soak quickly and then you're losing power.

[@johnnyboi5661]

Will I took them off because they were to good. The gains those long tube intake makes in my opinion requires a tune, and unfortunately I don’t live close to any tuner, so all I have is E-tuning only.

[@alsochi5669]

Tune the timing and everything after the intakes, a proper tune not just slap them on and call it a day by doing a simple maf adjustment

[@JpCharisma]

I do not care for your opinion, each intake was tuned individually. To produce the perfect AFR’s. We did multiple dyno pulls. If you know anything about dyno numbers. Not every pull on the dyno will show consistent numbers. Since air temperatures and humidity levels fluctuate. A lot of tuners like to show false gains. By providing the lowest Dyno numbers for before and the highest numbers after. Making it easy to manipulate people into believing 3” intakes are better.

JpCharisma preachhhhh now question for you my guy should i go for velocity stacks first or the air guide??
