How much power does the AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake add?

The AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake produces up to +30whp peak and an average +24whp above 5,000 rpm over the stock intake, with torque gains across the entire rev range. The maximum figures come from the fully open configuration without the stock-size MAF insert sleeves.

Does the AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake require a tune?

It depends on the configuration. The AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake requires no ECU calibration when using the included stock-size MAF insert sleeves. The fully open setup without sleeves requires custom ECU tuning, for which AMS provides MAF scaling data and a dedicated calibration guide.

How does the AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake compare to the stock and competitor intakes?

On the flowbench, the AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake supported 560whp-equivalent airflow at just 1.0 psi of depression versus about 1.9 psi for the OEM system, and flowed significantly higher than both OEM and a leading competitor. Its 80mm housings are the largest available for the VR30 platform.

Is the AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake hard to install and tune?

No. The AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake uses support brackets to lock the MAF housings and filters, plus keyed MAF flanges and keyed silicone inlet hoses for repeatable alignment. This avoids the inconsistent placement and idle issues of oversized competitor housings and reduces calibration time.

Does the AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake use an oiled filter?

No. The AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm intake uses serviceable dry filter media with a radiused entry. Restore performance with a quick inside-out blast of 30-40 psi compressed air; for heavy buildup, use a biodegradable cleaner, rinse, blow out from the inside, and air-dry 24-48 hours.

Description

AMS Performance 80mm Air Intake Kit for RZ34 Nissan Z

Nissan Z 80mm intake from AMS Performance is engineered to maximize airflow and power on the RZ34 Nissan Z with the VR30DDTT twin-turbo engine (2024-present). This AMS Nissan Z 80mm intake uses oversized 80mm MAF housings, the largest-diameter piping and MAF housings available for the VR30 platform, delivering gains up to +30whp over stock with an average +24whp above 5,000rpm for a broader, more usable powerband. The open-element design heightens turbo acoustics while out-flowing the factory system, and serviceable dry filters simplify upkeep. Stock-diameter insert sleeves enable a no-tune setup, while included MAF scaling data and an ECU calibration guide make custom tuning straightforward.

Why the AMS Performance Nissan Z 80mm Intake?

Designed by the AMS Snailworks Engineering Team with a single objective of maximum airflow, the Nissan Z 80mm intake features the largest-diameter piping and MAF housings available for the VR30, making it the highest-flowing intake on the market. The 80mm architecture reduces restriction and pressure drop to improve turbo efficiency, delivering cooler compressor outlet temperatures, quicker response, and sustained high-RPM power. The intake path keeps flow to the twin Garrett turbos as unrestricted and laminar as possible, with optimized MAF housings and silicone couplers creating seamless, consistent-area transitions and a radiused filter entry to reduce inlet losses. Extensive flowbench work and in-car validation confirmed a significant boost in volumetric efficiency, with peak gains of +30whp and an average +24whp above 5,000rpm, while the provided MAF calibration data preserves precise metering and stable drivability.

Flowbench Proven

The AMS Snailworks team benchmarked the OEM intake, a leading competitor, and the AMS Nissan Z 80mm intake on a MAF-based flowbench with MoTeC dash and datalogger under controlled, real-world-representative conditions. The OEM system reached its limit at roughly 560whp-equivalent airflow with about 1.9 psi of depression, and the competitor offered only a modest improvement before hitting its own restriction. The AMS 80mm system supported the same 560whp at just 1.0 psi of depression, nearly a full psi less than stock, and flowed significantly higher than both OEM and competitor at equivalent pressure drops. Back-to-back dyno testing against the factory system in the fully open configuration (without stock-sized MAF insert sleeves) produced up to +30whp, an average +24whp above 5,000 rpm, and torque gains across the entire rev range.

Tuner-Friendly by Design

AMS pairs the Nissan Z 80mm intake with a dedicated ECU calibration guide. Where oversized competitor MAF housings can cause inconsistent placement, poor orientation, and idle issues, the AMS solution locks the MAF housings and filters with support brackets, while keyed MAF flanges and keyed silicone turbo inlet hoses ensure repeatable alignment and cut calibration time. The guide includes AMS MAF calibration strategies, a Throttle Airflow (TAF) relearn procedure, and radiator fan speed curves, all validated on the dyno and in real-world testing, provided in an easy-to-use Excel format for quick copy-and-paste into common ECU software.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
