This kit is really tempting, gotta way the benefits vs the extra cost vs a centrifugal kit. I wonder if the Fast Intentions flexplate alone with a transmisison cooler would be enough to reliably handle 400 trq.

Any hood updates? I think a lot of guys would like it to look as OEM and subtle as possible (no big noticeable vents down the sides, just keep the one in the back of the dome)

the debate:

Whipple PD SC kit
vs
Vortech A2A kit + 2015 Nismo front and rear bumpers.....

I would LOVE it if I could run the stock transmission. I'd consider keeping the car longer and going with the RJM. I'm also 500 pounds heavier than a Z so that may have an effect on longevity.

No way in hell is ANYONE running around at the 600hp level on the stock transmission.
Here's the Q50, he's been running around these numbers for a good while now on stock trans. He also daily drives the car without a filter cause he's crazy. I honestly thought something would have blown by now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...01fb08e67c.jpg

Do you have any more information on that particular car other than a shot of a dyno plot? JMS is my backyard and I've been on their dyno. How do you know this car is a 7AT? They come with 6-speed manuals as well. There's one sedan in town that runs the SC kit but I'm pretty sure it was a manual tranny.

No filter IS crazy. I've taken apart too many damaged turbos to ever run without a filter, LOL.

What are his trap speeds/times?

@ Ape...Never heard of a Q50 with MT.

milkcow500 07-08-2017 07:31 PM
This is a 7at. I think the first year of the q50 came in 6mt if I recall.

He has trap times on his IG. I think they were mid 11s.

Actually I know Eric. Met him at Nismo Fiesta a few years back. Very nice guy and his car is indeed a 7AT. I don't know how in the hell that transmission is holding up being completely stock especially with the extra torque E85 produces. One lucky SOB.

I might have to reconsider selling the G for a turbocharged German car.

I wouldn't be surprised. There is a guy here in Australia with a GTM TT 7AT running 468 whp and 550nm and the only upgrade he has done was the flex plate. He said it has held fine since 2012.

550nm is about 405 ft.lbs.

Man, that second PS hood looks great. Would be perfect with the vents from the AMS hood.

zer099 07-10-2017 01:35 PM
The Q50 has a different model RE7R01A tranny then us. Different TQ converter specs, different gearing, different shift programming, most likely different clutches and band. I would be hard pressed to say you can compare their's to ours.

Check the FSM for reference: 2009 vs 2015
