AMS Performance 2023+ Nissan Z 80mm Air Intakes
Discover the AMS Performance 2023+ Nissan Z 80mm Air Intakes, designed specifically for the twin-turbocharged 3.0L VR30DDTT engine in the 2023 and newer Nissan Z models (RZ34 chassis, including all sub-models like Sport, Performance, and Proto-Spec). This intake system stands out with its massive 80mm MAF housings and larger piping, delivering the highest airflow capacity available for the VR30 platform. Dyno testing shows a peak gain of +30 wheel horsepower over stock, with an average +24 wheel horsepower above 5000 RPM, plus torque improvements across the full rev range. Flowbench results confirm it supports up to 560 wheel horsepower at just 1 psi of depression nearly half the restriction of the OEM setup at 1.9 psi and outperforms leading competitor designs at equivalent pressure drops.
These gains translate to cooler compressor outlet temperatures, quicker turbo spool, sharper throttle response, and a broader powerband that enhances every drive.
What sets this intake apart from factory and aftermarket options is its engineering focus on unrestricted, laminar airflow. The organically shaped inlet tubes feature gradual bend radii for smooth transitions, while radiused filter edges minimize entry losses. This reduces turbulence and pressure drop, allowing the Garrett turbos to operate more efficiently for sustained power and better low-end drivability. The open dry filter design amplifies the turbo’s aggressive induction sound, drawing in more air than restrictive stock components without compromising reliability. Clean the filters easily with compressed air or mild degreasers for long-term performance in any condition.
