Building the Nissan VQ37VHR!

To run from the main tubes to the filters, Z1 provides filter adapters, silicone couplers and molded valvecover vent tubes.

The difference between Z1’s street and race intakes is that the race intake uses a larger filter with a velocity stack.  The front bumper reinforcement has to be modified slightly to get the larger filters to fit but its not that big of a deal. Although the Z1 intake has the capacity to flow a lot more air than stock, it can still be run without re-tuning the ECU.  Although re-tuning will produce the best power output.

Stay tuned, in our next installment we do some machining tricks on the block, ad some interesting mods to the heads and VVEL system and assemble our engine!
