Default 465WHP on Stock Motor!

Thanks AAM! 465WHP on ’06 G35, Greddy Twin, Stock Motor!

Just got my '06 G35 back from Altered Atmosphere Motorsports in Gaithersburg, MD. I was expecting around 400-425whp, but when they called me up and said 465... I was blown away. They used the Turbo XS UTEC to tune me up and it pulls STRONG. Under the hood it's really clean and everything looks immaculate.

I just wanted to take a minute and say thanks to the crew at AAM. They really took care of me. Mike Mahaffey (tuner and owner/manager) puts out some crazy numbers on almost any setup. I can’t wait to start building the motor! I definitely recommend AAM for any 350Z/G35 that needs mods.

Nice numbers.

I've been having second thoughts about my TT. All these blown motors are making me nervous.

I think I'll end up saying, "f*ck it" and install it anway. I guess, if my motor blows, it won't be as bad because I'll be expecting it.

Awesome. I keep waiting to see just how much the stock internals can really handle.

Thanks Ryan! Your '06 G35 is a striking car and it was a pleasure working with you. Noah told us this morning your G was the main talk and a big hit of the Dunlop HIN roundup show this weekend!

The VQ is an amazing motor and everyday we learn more about how to reliably gain more power with the stock engine. Ryan's car could have easily made more power but we were limited by the 440cc injectors. When Ryan upgrades to 650cc injectors I have no doubt his current setup will provide between 485-505rwhp.

I'll ask our customers who are making over 500rwhp on the stock motor & pump gas if they want to post their dyno graphs for everyone to see

8psi on the Greddy TT. See my signiture for a complete list of current mods...

Mike's right about the injectors. They need to go in favor of the 650cc. Afterwards, I'm expecting a little more power. I'm planning on an engine build this winter to facilitate more, but for now, it's insane as a daily driver... Worst case, the motor takes a crap between now and then. If it does, then the build will come a little sooner.

Our 485rwhp - 505rwhp stock engine customers all use GReddy Twin Turbo kits w/ modified fuel systems & engine management (AAM Fuel System, AAM Big Pump Upgrade, ECU Flash, HKS F-Con or UTEC, 550cc+ Injectors).

We like the GReddy Twin Turbo kits for our high-end customers because they have proven to be the most reliable and upgradeable.

Boost pressure at this level on the stock motor is ~10psi with the AAM 3" True Dual MaxFlow exhaust.

Hope this helps,

Default check this out

https://my350z.com/forum/forced-induction/184918-just-blew-my-stock-motor-with-aps-tt.html

It happened a few hours ago. I was pulling away from a stoplight (not getting on it all) and all of sudden...BOOM, then I heard various ungodly clanking, and then an oil/coolant trail followed me all the way to a close parking lot, a trail probably at least 1/4 mile long!

Then there was the adventure of trying to get a flatbed in my area to pick up a lowered car with a bodykit. My front bumper is only about 4" off the ground. I thought I might have leave her overnight in this retail store parking lot. Man, what a nightmare! Luckily, I was finally able to find one who would come out and was actually very careful. I had to help lift the front end so they could get her up without scraping.

I'd appreciate any advice from you guys that have built your motors. What's the best approach and what you might do differently. I know everyone says you're never happy with the hp you have but I'm sure, I would be very satisfied with 500-550whp. I can't imagine a 100whp more than I have now.

Any help or advice for the build and these power goals would be greatly appreciated!
