[@RadicalBastard187]

How’s the reliability on em at that 500 whp mark

[@kennethpowers8995]

Do you guys see any issues long term on cars at this power level with no blow off or bypass valves? I have essentially the same setup as your RA 500 package and currently making like 450/530 whp/wtq. Basically as much power as I can make on the stock turbos right now, but I don’t have BOVs. Initially my tune was setup so the throttle doesn’t close immediately to try and save on the thrust bearings in my stock turbos until I’m ready for Stage 2’s but at times that got a bit hairy because the car wanted to keep pushing for a half second after you let off from WOT. So now I’m setup so when I get off the pedal the TB closes immediately but I know all that pressure going back to the turbos can’t be good. Especially considering the stock boost level on a Pure/Luxe is like 8psi and a RS is like 14 but I’m running around 18psi now. This is the only turbo car I’ve ever had with no blow off or bypass setup so it’s new to me. I did start running 5w30 rather than the 0w20 hoping that would help a bit.

[@txripper1]

To bad the Nissan Z won’t have a D-tuned GTR 3.8 in it. Even so on E85 / Meth Intake/Exhaust/Tune could net 550WHP. That’s a fun street car!!

[@briankress9997]

Great video I have a Q 60 I want to know is it OK to wrap the intercoolers to keep the engine temperatures away from them

[@Quietgames]

Second this would love to know!!

[@Mikey6048]

Being that it's a liquid/air and not a Air/Air. I would say yes it's OK to wrap them to prevent heat soak. But then again it being liquid, it could possibly force the intercoolers to retain heat more. Since some air flow over the metal bodies could pull heat away too. I'm also genuinely curious as to what AMS has tested. I always been iffy with heat exchangers.

[@AMSPerformance]

This is not something that we have tested so unfortunately we can't say one way or the other. We'll pass along your suggestion to the R&D team for future testing. Thanks!

[@Fanmaster59]

No

[@G3T_R3KT_XM8]

Do you have to build the automatic trans that's on the VR30 to hold 500WHP or is that what the stock trans is max rated at?

[@TankQ50]

Simple driveshaft upgrade and billet flexplate and it’ll hold up fine. The 7AT might not be a DCT but it’s relatively strong till around 750whp 530-550wtq

[@Royal_Shmeat]

But how reliable is that 500whp on this car can you daily it comparing to the n55 and b58s for 500WHP daily

[@Sqizzyman]

It holds up pretty damn good. I think that's about the limit though, personally I wouldn't go past 500whp with stock internals on these cars.

[@bobbykwok5583]

Nice I have a 2017 RWD Q50S Added AMS Airboxes and Stillen Cat Back Exhasut...I'm at 426 hp now...any other ideas?

[@timelapsega]

From their site this package is : "Red Alpha Cold Air Intake System, Red Alpha Heat Exchanger, Red Alpha Full Downpipes, Red Alpha High and Low Pressure Fuel Pumps, EcuTek Bluetooth Kit, the RA 500 E85 Tune. I'm not sure if they left the exhaust out of this package but it sounds like you need a heat exchanger, downpipes, fuel pumps and an e85 tune to make closer to 500whp.

[@jadensandlin746]

You push 426 with those 2 mods and your not a rs?

[@Unplugged704]

Man that’s a lot of gains for 2 mods. Wonder down the road if there will be problems blowing the engine..?? 17’ Q50 Sport spec is on 300HP/295 Torque.

@@Unplugged704 the low boost vr30 is mechanically identical to the RS in everyway except boost pressure. the RS has turbine speed sensors but the low output engine also has the capability to monitor shaft speed, it just does it differently.

So what is AMS' stand on BOV's? They're not in any of your packages and from recent talk in the forum's, they're not needed and said to be detrimental to the VR30 platform by many tuners. The red Q50 didn't appear to have them and the blue Q60 did. Did these 2 cars have the exact same builds, except for the BOV's? 20HP difference between the two cars on the dyno.

[@Qightz]

They don’t sell them you buy it separately Secondly, it just protects the turbo’s which is worth getting. Unless you want your turbos to blow.

Can you guys get me a forged carbon engine bay trim kit?

[@coreyforte6673]

I’m gonna ask a dumb question but with e85 can I use premium gas

[@vetacoth]

E85 is a type of fuel. Premium gas (typically 91 or 93 octane) is also a type of fuel. If you are asking if you are able to use premium gas in a car tuned to take E85, it’s not ideal. The spark timing is completely different as well as a host of other factors that not only reduce efficiency but also may put parts of the car in jeopardy. If you’re planning on only running E85 and have reliable access to it anywhere you go, then go ahead. Otherwise, just go for a 91/93 tune (which is what I recommend for most people wanting power) or a flex fuel tune if you so desire.

Learned that if you see 10-15% humidity in the forecast during the winter = be prepared. I suspect the horrible winter behavior of the 370z on snow has to do with being staggered and the rear differential... easily the worst vehicle I've ever delt with in the snow... my $800 pos mazda college student vehicle did much better, and it was a total $hitbox.
