It’s truly a pleasure to take a good car, and simply improve on every aspect of it, transforming it into a great car. Recently, we had the pleasure of building this great 370Z Twin Turbo for a customer, turning a bone stock Z, to a 450whp track monster. We performed upgrades to all portions of this 370Z to help prepare it for High Performance Driver’s Education events. Here are the specs:
Engine: • Greddy Twin Turbo Kit
• Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
• RC engineering 550cc Injectors
• Greddy E-Manage Ultimate Engine Management
• Stillen Oil Cooler
• Fast Intentions Exhaust Drivetrain: • Spec Stage 3+ Clutch Suspension: • Hotchkis Front and Rear Sway Bars
• HKS Hipermax III Coilovers Brakes: • Factory 4 Piston Front Calipers
• Stoptech Slotted Rotors
• Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Lines
• Stoptech Ceramic Brake Pads
• Tilton TSR-1 Brake Fluid Safety: • Sparco Fighter Seats (Red)
• Sparco 4 Point Harness (Black)
• Mazworx Custom Built 4 Point Roll Bar
Head Technician: John Ferguson Custom Tune: Darin Dichiara
The end result is a well balanced car that can compete at the track, while still being daily driven. The owner can now enjoy and feel comfortable with the car at any race track and make the most of his “GTR Killer” with improved brakes, suspension, engine and safety upgrades.
GReddy Performance Products has just released some much needed cooling solutions for the Evolution X, in the form of two new Circuit Spec Cooler Kits. The V-mounted SST (MR -twin clutch transmission) and Engine Oil Coolers increase the efficiency of the OEM coolers, by increasing the fluid capacity and cooling surface area, while controlling and improving air-flow to the cores. The factory SST transmissions found on Evolution X MR are known to trigger a “Safety” limp mode when the internal fluid hits 140C (284F,) which is not difficult to do during hard driving. The GReddy SST Cooler Kit uses an additional independent system with its own compact 160l/hr pump for superior cooling. It is easily installed by connecting to the existing fluid “Filler” and “Drain” ports on the transmission case. (NO machining required.) The V-mount arrangement is mounted in the front left inner fender under the factory unit (and to fit it, it also includes a new aluminum I/C outlet piping.) Another benefit is that vital areas, like the Radiator, are not covered. The kit also includes carefully designed Inlet and Splitter Ducting to evenly divide and control airflow through both the Greddy and OEM cores, while the Outlet Ducting helps increases flow. The V-mounted 12row (-08) GReddy core takes advantage of the airflow under the vehicle to draw out even more air through the core, (while the stock core has to fight with the air turbulence of the spinning wheel in the wheel well.) Also included are precise patterns for trimming of the under liner.

GReddy Curcuit Spec Engine Oil Cooler Kit:
Mounted in a symmetrical configuration as the SST Cooler, the GReddy Circuit Spec Engine Oil Cooler Kit mounts in the right inner fender under the factory core. Like Greddy’s other Circuit spec kits, this V-mounted 14row (-10) core uses Greddy’s signature inner fin technology for high efficiency. This greatly helps improve the durability of the engine oil and in turn the life of the engine. The kit adapts to the factory cooler and routes the oil in series, for a simple install. The kit also features carefully crafted Inlet, Splitter, and Outlet Air Ducting to increase flow to and through both the GReddy and factory coolers. Light-weight Nylon-braided hose add to the upgrades on this kit; as does the necessary trimming patterns for a perfect fit.
