AMS Heat Exchanger

The AMS Heat Exchanger is double the thickness and core size of the factory version, doubling fluid capacity. Upgrading reduces heat soak which is crucial in extreme climates or for track use. Its installation is straightforward, with a 100% bolt-on design requiring no modifications. While it won’t add noticeable horsepower, the AMS Heat Exchanger helps maintain cooler temperatures, improving overall power output. Though removing the front bumper may seem daunting, AMS provides detailed instructions so enthusiasts like you and me can easily install it in a home garage.

AMS Cold Air Intake

Let’s talk about AMS’s Cold Air Intake, this system features appealing aesthetics, and reusable filters, and claims to be the highest power-producing VR30 intake. It boasts a 10+ WHP gain out of the box or 15+ with a tune. The system pulls air directly from the front bumper, with housings protecting against heat and providing visibility of the filters.

In conclusion, AMS’s Cold Air Intake and Heat Exchanger are impressive upgrades for the RZ34 Nissan Z, suitable for both full builds and stock setups. In addtion to that, the ease of driveway installation makes them accessible upgrades.
