The latest Z boasts a VR30DDTT twin-turbocharged 3.0L engine that's shared with the Infiniti Q50\/Q60. Off the lot, the VR30 produces up to an impressive 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Its two air-to-water intercoolers work well enough to keep the stock V6 cool, but they weren't designed to keep up with increasing power levels from various performance upgrades and tunes. Having previously worked with the VR30 while developing our Infiniti Q50\/Q60 intercoolers, the engineers at Mishimoto used this design as the foundation to perfect the Mishimoto 2023+ Nissan Z Air-to-Water Intercooler Kit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis kit features a pair of robust bar-and-plate intercoolers that boast a 49.8-percent increase in core volume over the stock intercoolers, resulting in superior durability and heat soak resistance. The intercoolers are also 51-percent less restrictive than stock and allow your turbos to work more efficiently. With dyno-proven charge air temperatures up to 23-degrees cooler than stock, we were able to produce power gains of up to 8 HP and 12 lb.-ft of torque without a retune.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn increase in power requires superior durability to match, so we crafted our intercoolers with cast aluminum end tanks, eradicating potential leak points and stress concentrations that welded tanks may face. In addition, the included ancillary hoses and couplers ensure coolant and air flow reliably through the intercoolers. No cutting or modifications are necessary for installation and, as with all Mishimoto products, this air-to-water intercooler kit for the 2023+ Nissan Z is backed by our Mishimoto Lifetime

It wouldn’t have assimilated into our lexicon if it wasn’t, right? The same sentiment rings true for Nissan’s Z-cars. These sporty coupes don’t change much between generations, but we can help but adore them. The latest generation is no exception to this trend. Nissan upcycled many of the primary aspects of the latest Z. From the retro styling, the 370Z DNA underpinning the chassis, and the VR30DDTT nestled under the characteristically long hood, we’ve seen these designs before. To some, it may seem like a parts bin model, but we all know this concoction results in a new, exciting car packed with potential.

Trickled down from Nissan’s GT-R, this V6 is the beating heart for the Z’s highfaluting cousin, the Infiniti Q50 and Q60. Like the Infinitis, the gateway to unlocking serious power for the VR30 lies in the intercooling system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure data-content-type=\"image\" data-appearance=\"full-width\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cpicture\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mobile-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/image-34.webp\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-element=\"mobile_image\" data-pb-style=\"LTAP3Q8\" width=\"1064\" height=\"690\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Z is equipped with an air-to-water intercooling system from the factory, which includes a secondary radiator and a small intercooler for each cylinder bank. These intercoolers may be small, but they’re mighty since the thermal conductivity of liquid is greater than air. However, even in air-to-water intercooling, size matters, and we already have plans to improve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more on the intricacies of intercooling, make sure that you visit our tech article:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIntercooling Methods Explained\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design for the Z’s intercooling system overhaul started with our development of the Q50 system. Since both platforms utilize the same intercooler units, we can upcycle our improved design for the Z as well. But before we dive into how they look and perform on the Z, let’s take a look at how we’re improving the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs previously mentioned, these Zs are rolling off the assembly line sporting a pair of air-to-water units, one for each cylinder bank. These intercoolers combine a tube-and-fin core mated to a set of plastic end tanks. This construction method is ideal for OEMs since they can be produced in mass without breaking the budget while providing adequate performance. However, for those demanding more from their VR30-powered sports car, these factory units leave something to be desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cfigure data-content-type=\"image\" data-appearance=\"full-width\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cpicture\u003e\u003cimg class=\"mobile-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mishimoto.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/image-35.webp\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-element=\"mobile_image\" data-pb-style=\"IXWP1G5\" width=\"1038\" height=\"693\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe started with a core overhaul to keep up with the demand of big turbos and performance tunes.

Obviously, it needed a slight attitude adjustment going from a luxury sedan to sports car duties, but more importantly, there were updates made for fitment. Some components shifted around, so we also needed to adjust our intercooler kit for fitment. While our kit technically fits in the Z without modifications, we still opted to make our design updates so that our intercoolers fit like a factory component.
