Turbonetics 350Z makes 415whp on our Dyno Dynamics

This week we had the privilege of tuning Mike’s 350Z, who drove 6+ hours to have a Haltech installed and tuned here. We fit a Haltech Platinum 350Z EMS, boost control solenoid, wideband, and boost gauge to his blue 350Z. We quickly found the limits of the injectors included with the Turbonetics kit, and replaced them with Deatschwerks 600cc injectors. On a safe daily-driver pumpgas tune we were able to achieve 415whp on our Dyno Dynamics at 14psi. The car left operating like stock, and makes impressive power considering a normal Turbonetics kit produces ~340whp on our dyno.

Mike called the following day and said he needs wider tires :)

John Reese Breaks 1/4 Mile GTR Record

Over the weekend, NAGTROC member John Reese bested his own fastest 1/4th mile time in a Nissan GTR with a blazing fast 10.53 @ 128.27. Unfortunately, a few launches later, the transmission finally let go after nearly 100 launces with Nissan’s launch control. Modifications include: HKS GT570 kit with ECU tuning, Amuse exhaust, Harman Motive intake, and lightweight Volk TE37s with drag radials. John already seems to have transmission upgrades in the works, and we are glad for enthusiasts like him to break the barriers and play the guinea pigs for the rest of us.

Earlier this week, Freedom Autosport hosted a small and exclusive track day at Road Atlanta in order to begin testing a few products on their Nissan GTR. Sharing the track was our friend Will in his Carbotech and Hoosier outfitted GTR and Sharif of Forged Performance in his new GTR. With no more than 10 cars being run at any given time throughout the day, it allowed the guys to make plenty of fine tuning adjustments and play around a little bit through the corners. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time we’ve seen three GTRs be able to play on track like this together in the US. Thanks to Sharif and Derek on NAGTROC for the pictures and video!
