What makes the counter-flow design of the AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers better?

Most aftermarket air-to-water intercoolers use a conventional cross-flow core. The AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers use a counter-flow design that strategically pairs the coolest water with the coolest air within the core, optimising thermal transfer for heat dissipation that surpasses conventional cross-flow cores.

How much larger are the AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers than stock?

The AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers have cores 70.4% larger than the OEM units — the largest core size on the market — with custom AMS-spec fin height and density. This delivered a recorded 40 degree Fahrenheit drop in intake air temperature over the factory intercoolers.

Why does the optimized TMAP location on the AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers matter?

On OEM and many aftermarket intercoolers, the TMAP sensor sits in an air pocket in the end tank, delaying temperature readings and the ECU calibration strategies that rely on them. The AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers optimise the sensor location for faster, more accurate data, letting your tuner precisely calibrate temperature-related safety trims and corrections.

Do the AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers fit the Infiniti Q50 and Q60?

Yes. The AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers fit the RZ34 Nissan Z (2023-present) as well as the Infiniti Q50 (2016-present) and Q60 (2017-2022), all of which share the VR30DDTT 3.0L twin-turbo engine.

Do the AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers work on a stock car?

Yes. The AMS Performance Nissan Z intercoolers install in the OEM location with upgraded water lines and couplers and can be used on stock or modified vehicles to reduce heat soak. Note they do not fit with the factory engine cover.

Description

AMS Performance Intercoolers for RZ34 Nissan Z

Nissan Z intercoolers from AMS Performance are a counter-flow air-to-water intercooler upgrade for the VR30DDTT 3.0L twin-turbo engine, fitting the RZ34 Nissan Z and the Infiniti Q50 and Q60 that share the engine. The AMS Nissan Z intercoolers feature cores 70.4% larger than the factory units, precision CNC billet aluminum end tanks, and enlarged air inlets, outlets, and coolant ports for a complete reimagining of VR30 heat management. Where most aftermarket air-to-water intercoolers use a conventional cross-flow core, the AMS Nissan Z intercoolers use a counter-flow design that pairs the coolest water with the coolest air inside the core for thermal transfer that surpasses cross-flow cores.

Why the AMS Performance Nissan Z Intercoolers?

The factory VR30DDTT intercooler system is a limitation as power levels climb. The AMS Nissan Z intercoolers solve this with motorsport-grade counter-flow cores that are 70.4% larger than OEM, the largest core size on the market, with custom AMS-spec fin height and density, delivering a recorded 40°F drop in intake air temperature over stock. This is the intercooler used on the world’s fastest VR30-powered car, which ran 9.53 at 144mph in the quarter-mile. The counter-flow design strategically pairs the coolest coolant with the coolest air within the core for optimal thermal transfer, reducing intake air temperatures whether you’re in a hot climate, drag racing, or making high-speed runs. CFD analysis was performed on both the core and tanks to optimize heat dissipation, and the system shows negligible air-side and water-side pressure drop versus the OEM.

Optimized TMAP Sensor Location

The TMAP (Temperature Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor feeds vital data to the VR30DDTT ECU’s compensation tables, but OEM and many aftermarket intercoolers isolate it in an air pocket in the end tank, delaying temperature readings and the calibration strategies that depend on them. The AMS Nissan Z intercoolers optimize the sensor location for more responsive, accurate temperature data, giving your tuner precise air temperature readings to finely calibrate temperature-related safety trims and corrections optimizing power output and enhancing safety in any condition.

Engineered to Be the Best

The AMS Nissan Z intercoolers use CAD-designed billet 6061 T6 aluminum end tanks for improved fitment and aesthetics, large CNC-machined integrated barb fittings, and high-quality coolant hoses. The line kit uses feed lines 33% larger and return lines 20% larger than OEM for drastically increased coolant flow, with the highest-quality materials selected throughout for years of trouble-free operation. The 2.5″ inlet and 2.75″ outlet flanges allow unrestricted airflow to the engine, and the intercoolers install in the OEM location with upgraded water lines and couplers.

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.
