How much power does the AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake add?

The AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake produced a 10+ WHP gain out of the box with no ECU changes in dyno testing, rising to 15+ WHP when custom calibrated for peak efficiency. It also improves torque throughout the RPM range for better drivability and low-end power.

Does the AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake require a tune?

No. The AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake requires no ECU calibration, delivering a 10+ WHP gain out of the box despite the larger MAF housings and silicone couplers. A custom tune is optional and raises the gain to 15+ WHP, but the intake works fully without one.

How much larger is the AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake than stock?

The AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake provides a 23% average increase in cross-section over the OEM intake pipes, along with a larger MAF housing, for a substantial improvement in airflow to the twin Garrett turbos.

Does the AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake keep out engine heat?

Yes. The AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake uses closed intake boxes that seal against engine bay temperatures and align with the factory air ducts, drawing cold air directly from the front bumper so only cool air reaches the engine, even in high-temperature conditions.

How do I clean the filter on the AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake?

The AMS Performance Nissan Z cold air intake uses a dry-media filter that requires no oiling. Restore performance with compressed air at 30-40 psi from the inside out. For a deep clean, use a mild biodegradable degreaser such as Simple Green, rinse thoroughly, clear residual water with compressed air, and allow one to two days to dry.

Description

AMS Performance Cold Air Intakes for RZ34 Nissan Z

Nissan Z cold air intake from AMS Performance is the top-tier intake system for the RZ34 Nissan Z with the twin-turbocharged VR30DDTT engine (2023-present), delivering a 23% average increase in cross-section over the OEM intake pipes and a gain of 15+ WHP. The AMS Nissan Z cold air intake uses closed intake boxes to shield the engine from heat and block hot air, a larger MAF housing for more airflow, a dry-media filter for easy cleaning, and 4-ply wire-reinforced silicone couplers for smooth air delivery. Best of all, it delivers these gains with no ECU calibration required, adding a more aggressive engine sound and a hassle-free install.

Why the AMS Performance Nissan Z Cold Air Intake?

Heat is the biggest power-robbing factor in an intake system, so the AMS Nissan Z cold air intake is built around closed carbon airboxes that shield against engine bay temperatures and align precisely with the factory air ducts to draw the coolest possible air. The airboxes and tubes use organic shapes with gradual bend radii and smooth pipe-size transitions so air flows unobstructed to the twin Garrett turbo compressor inlets. The turbo inlet silicone couplers are designed for seamless airflow and are wire-reinforced, so they hold their shape against the crushing vacuum the turbos generate. The result is a 23% average cross-section increase over OEM with a larger MAF housing, and despite the increased airflow, no ECU calibration is required.

Dyno-Proven Power

AMS ran dyno tests to quantify the gains from the Nissan Z cold air intake in two configurations. Compared to the stock intakes with no ECU changes, the AMS Nissan Z cold air intake produced a 10+ WHP gain out of the box. With both the stock and AMS intakes custom calibrated for peak efficiency, the gain rose to 15+ WHP. These improvements also translate into better torque throughout the RPM range, improving drivability and low-end power. The intake ducts cold air directly from the front bumper and integrates with the factory front ducts to draw exclusively cold air, lowering intake air temperatures entering the engine.

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.
