Add Est. 9 Horsepower to 2009, 2010 & 2011 Nissan 370Z with AEM's ETI Cold Air Intake System!
- Apr 30, 2010
The all-new 370Z incorporates outstanding advancements in both mechanical and electronic features alike. Powered by the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR dual-over-head-cam V6 engine, the 370Z generates an impressive 332 horsepower (at the flywheel) in stock form. This abundance of power is made possible by utilizing Nissan's Variable Valve and Lift Control technology (VVEL). Nissan's VVEL variable valve timing technology allows the VQ37 engine to be more efficient while improving response and power output at higher RPMs. In order to harness the power of the 370Z's V6 engine, Nissan invested particular attention to the 370Z's power delivery system. To transfer the power to the rear wheels, Nissan couples the powerful engine to either a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, or a 6-speed manual transmission that features the first ever synchronized downshift rev-match system.
To match up to the VQ37's dual throttle bodies, the 41-1001P and 41-1001C are comprised of dual mandrel-bent aluminum inlet tubes. Each 2.75-inch inlet tube originates at the throttle body and routes to the left and right wheel wells. It is in the wheel wells that DryFlow performance air filters are mounted to each inlet tube. The oil-free DryFlow technology is very durable and easy to clean. To take the filtration properties of the DryFlow performance air filter even further, AEM offers Filter Wraps that are manufactured from durable micro-screen materials that are pretreated with a proprietary hydrophobic process. AEM filter wraps repel water splashes and extend the filters service life. For the 41-1001P and 41-1001C air intake system, AEM Filter Wraps are available as a separate accessory (part number 1-4000). In order to clear enough space for the DryFlow air filters, AEM includes a custom designed windshield washer fluid reservoir with each 41-1001P air intake system. Each 370Z air intake system also includes two pre-programmed ETI modules. Both of the 370Z's Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensors plug directly into an included ETI module, which are specifically programmed to read the proper air density data. The result is more horsepower and torque gains. In the case of the 370Z, the VQ37 engine responded well to AEM's ETI technology. The 41-1001P and 41-1001C cold air intake systems improve the 370Z's power output from the stock baseline of 241 hp to an estimated 250 hp with the intake installed. In addition to enhancing the peak horsepower performance, an estimated gain of 9.67 horsepower was also recorded at 7,100 RPM during AEM's testing. As seen on the dyno graph, a vast improvement is made from 6,600 RPM until the VQ37's redline.
