I want to do a Nissan 350z Intake Show-Down. But first we have to take a look at each specific Nissan 350z Intake. And the K and N Cold Air unit is the first choice. K and N have been making intakes and more importantly air filters for decades. Their air filters are so well know and popular that I bet there is not one form of motor racing where they are not present. Let’s have a look at two different intakes from K and N for the 2003-2006 VQ35DE and 2007-2009 VQ35HR engines. Read more »

Methanol Injection is also know as water-methanol injection and is a mostly unknown power adder. The Snow Performance Kit for the Mitsubishi Evolution can give a big boost in power. The quick description of a methanol kit is that the water or methanol helps absorb heat in the cylinder. Less heat means less chance of detonation.

And with a bigger turbo and the Snow Performance Stage 2 Methanol Kit, the Evolution can see peak horsepower to the wheels at 430 with torque checking in at 340 lb-ft. That’s some big time performance for about $420. Read more »
I absolutely love turbo 6-cylinders cars. All of my favorite modern day muscle cars have these configurations. The old Skyline, new GTR, Supra, 300zx, Buick Grand National, and 3000GT were all bad ass car capable of huge horsepower figures. Now more recently Ford have gone the turbo V-6 route with the ecoboost engine. And who would have thought that BMW would release a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine? This is the first time in my life I have ever seriously looked at getting into a BMW. Dinan is a long time tuning outfit of all things BMW. And the Dinan Chip for the BMW 335i adds some serious power. How does the addition of 80 HP and 120 lb-ft. of torque. All from a few simple products namely a Stage 2 ECU reflash . Read more »
