620HP Supercharged Nissan 370Z Nismo Review! Better Than Turbo?

The Nissan 370Z has been out for nearly 12 years. Throughout the years the people at Z1 Motorsports have done their homework on this platform - everything from twin turbo setups, big single turbos, even a VR30 engine swap from the Infiniti Q50 and Q60 Redsport! Today we hop in a first for me - a supercharged Nissan 370Z making 622 wheel horsepower! The sensation the power is delivered is very different than the large single turbo and also feels surprisingly balanced! So let's see in the end which is better for the 370... turbo or supercharger?

The supercharger kit makes all you'll ever need power wise in a simple and easy to maintain setup.

[EnthusiastPOV]

Thank you for reviewing my Z. Hope you enjoyed as much as I do.

“Feels like you’re driving a normal 370z”

Driving double the hp it comes out of the factory with 💀

I love how we all complain about these cars never getting updated but also complain about updated cars feeling so dull.

EnthusiastPOV built this Z so well! The SOHO a2a kit is fantastic!

[Flysohighx]

This supercharger setup on a VQ37 would be great as a daily driver.

I've always loved superchargers so knowing that theres such a good supercharger makes me want to buy an 370Z let's hope

The air-to-air kit makes almost 200 whp more than the stock Stillen kit. It can be over 200whp when running e85, as I'm running. Never go stock Stillen.

My dad has a 350z with the stillen vortech kit. It’s not nearly as wild as this 370z, obviously. It’s pretty mild, probably making 350-400 hp based on the information given by stillen. But man is it fun. Been trying to buy it from him for 5 years 😂 I love the fact that you can’t tell without opening the hood other than the “woosh” when you aren’t making boost

After owning 2 Zs and tunning both I learned that this Z here is what you want! Motordyne for the win! and SC Soho air to air just upgrade manifold!!

[allstarvb]

That Z is really well done and super clean. The S/C setup is totally fine and makes tons of power for what most people will ever need 🤙🏼

Speaking from some experience but not with a Z, I used to have a GSR Integra ended up building motor with Ctr pistons and valvetrain with skunk 2 int. manifold/ DC sport 4-2-1 W/Hondata but yearned for more so went Jackson racing roots blower and it had the best torque and most linear powerband, perfect driveability. Ended up selling blower and going 18G turbo and top end pull was insane yet driveability suffered..Mind You this was before E85 which would have solved alot of those issues I feel like. Moral of story is when taking a not notoriously torquey engine and looking for ultimate bang for buck I'd go Centrifugal due to its simplicity and there easy to add charge coolers etc to increase output.

[nukexD]

God damn that’s a clean Z! The Tommy Kaira shift knob, powder coated intakes, and the TE’s! Save some drip for the rest of us Enthusiast POV 🥵
I love the single turbo builds but the topgunz a2a is a lot simpler and more manageable don’t know which one I would choose...(yes I’m aware he has the soho a2a)

[DeezNuts-kssv]

Hi David ! Thank you for making me a car guy !

[ThatBustedVQ]

Awesome car, and the silver actually looks really good on the Nismo, definitely prefer the supercharger over a turbo

[MangoMotorsportsLLC]

Literally the best exhaust note I've every heard coming from a 370z... Ever

[Rei-gyeo]

Ayy its EnthusiastPOV's Z! I love this build

[ISSpartan]

Dude... that’s the coolest 370z I’ve ever heard. Those last 1000 rpms sound absolutely wild! This just makes me want a Z as a second car now... Awesome review David, it really helps to make it entertaining when you’re ripping it the whole time and have an awesome soundtrack to accompany your talking.

[Tain]

I feel that every modern manual car should come with Rev match.

[ddifi]

I actually just ordered a Topgunz SC kit. I'm not going to push mine quite as high but I think I'll stick to about 450 WHP. Good vid.
