Z1 Motorsports: AAM TT Kit Installed & Evaluated

John@Z1 · 02-10-2015, 11:13 AM

As most have seen we were able to get our hands on the first AAM TT kit released to the public to install on a 2010 6MT 370Z. The AAM kit uses twin BorgWarner EFR 6758 turbos which packs a nice punch without sacrificing spool.

The TT kit was chosen for a couple of different reasons. One reason being the client wanted a turbo kit that was readily available through Z1 Motorsports. We only had a couple of choices, so we called Max at AAM and talked him into setting us up with the first kit available after showing us a few numbers from some of the vehicles tuned at AAM.

With the numbers discussed the client was a go. We selected the tuner kit as we had already tuned the vehicle before via Uprev. I will say it took longer than it should to receive it due to the kit being delivered to the wrong address and our former client not wanting to let go of what he didn't purchase. This was taken care of with the help of a nice police force and Fed Ex

After we Finally received the turbo kit with the addition of CJM stage 1 fuel return kit, 1000cc inj, aeromotive 340 fuel pump and HKS boost controller. We proceeded to install. We also kept the Tomei Expreme Ti single exhaust with hopes to still hit our 530rwhp goal at 10psi. There were a couple of more hiccups through the install process but they weren't big because we called AAM and the problem was solved with ease.

After all of the hiccups were scared away we were able to hit the dyno. With Tom's engine being very healthy and not over boosted before hitting the dyno we were able to net 538rwhp with in the first 9 dyno pulls. On run 13 we were at 580rwhp at 9psi in 4th gear. At that point I decided to go through with a full 5th gear pull which pulled a very impressive 609rwhp 596 SAE with ease on 93oct fuel. All of this power is pushed through a Z1 clutch and flywheel combo w/Z1 CSC Elemination Kit!

After the dyno I called Tom and gave him the results and we both agreed to stop at the power level we were at and just clean up the throttle response and drive ability of the tune.

For you that haven't had the chance to experience the response of the turbos you don't know what you're missing.

We would like to thank Paula, Marken, Max, Mike and the rest of the AAM team for all of the help with retrieval and questions.

Daaaayum! Nice work. I even turned down BIG's Big Pappa to listen to the video lol.

I wish my kit allowed me to use the Z1 CSC elimination kit. Congrats to the owner. Im jealous!

610whp on 9.5 psi?! that AAM kit is pretty serious

theDreamer · 02-10-2015, 11:46 AM

Looks good, is the owner on the forum will add them to the FI finished builds thread.

aamc@AAMComp · 02-10-2015, 11:50 AM

Great review and feedback John, thanks for taking the time to provide this community with some additional information.

And I will agree - the Shipping Hiccup was most interesting. I never would of thought that somebody would try to keep items that were shipped to them by accident... FEDex's Security team and the local police surely changed his mind on that.

If anybody has any questions on the TT system I would be more than happy to answer whatever John cannot.

Happy Driving!

That much hp on 9.5 psi is crazy! Congrats on the build

Nice job!!!

John - What Z1 clutch is used the full face or 6 puck? Also any hard start issues with 1000cc on pump gas?

phunk · 02-10-2015, 01:04 PM

The hot side of those EFR turbos is performing very well. To spool up so quickly while flowing so well to keep the boost pressure low is impressive technology.

Well done on the tuning... much smoother lines than I was able to do with mine.

Thanks for using our fuel system and mentioning it!

It's the 6 puck version and no hard start issues.

Thanks Charles, that means a lot coming from you and we love the ease of use on your kits.

Sweet! Does AAM include instructions? I wonder if this can be a DIY

You will need to lower the motor for installation so your gonna need access to a lift.

Everytime I read one of these reviews, I regret that I did not wait to the AAM TT kit or the F.I kit

Great job, hats off to Z1 and AAM

ANMVQ · 02-11-2015, 07:26 AM

The more I read about this kit the more I want it, I just wish a had a manual AWD sedan. Twins and Auto scare me. I know about the level 10 trans but :/.

COSMO · 02-11-2015, 08:19 AM

That's a lot of power on a stock block. How long do you expect it to last at that power level??
