Dude you're killing it with the content. Every question I ask you make a response video a few days later. Already liked before watching. Keep up the good work 👊
Thank you Dexter I do appreciate you very much.
@@BoostInMotion Boost, first of all, you remind me of Kingface. Second, I am watching your videos closely. You've done some awesome, cost effective mods to your Q. Looking at moving from my G37S to the Q
This video from 3 yrs ago just swayed me from going for a RS and looking at 3.0t S Thank you.
I totally agree! I'm surprised that more people don't know the answers you provided. It's good you informed them
Thank you to bad people upset with me because of it
Love the detail and the honesty. ...I just bought a 3.0T Sport with the Performance Package, drove it and loved it, just did not find it worth it to spend the extra $$$ for the Red.
Soild video bro I would get redsport lol because I’m a fully loaded buyer😂🤣
Got a 2017 Q50 RS 400 with 42k miles for $27k. I'm loving it
How’s it holding up? I’m think about getting a 2016 q50 rs around the same price and miles.
Need more people making videos like this for other cars. Great video keep it up!
Thank you bro appreciate that
When you add all them upgrades you are better off buying the redsport.
Okay thank you for watching
@@BoostInMotion nah. By buying the lower in model it sends a mesaage to infiniti that they need to actually make the sport worth buying. This community here loves to mod. Like he says market is huge and the prices are very affordable and cheap. Im sure infinit can see all the things we do. From upgrading the in touch to adding power amd performance. Which i do believe with the "black" program is trying to accomplish, but only if the price point is right. Ebays market does have the best prices, but have gone up a little with the new state taxes now being on there, so alot of folks might use alibaba. In all the 3.0t sport used in a couple years would be a fun car to buy used amd modify and upgrade with bigger better turbos.
Boost, dead on with speaking to infiniti. They need to offer better power amd performance options, better tech in the cockpits.
@@BoostInMotion excuse me have you ever driven the 06-08 infiniti M45 do you think its just as fast as the q50?
Cedric Miller Faster than the 3.7 q50 but not as fast as the red sport.
This is one of the vids that made me take a second look at the Q's when I was up for a new ride. I didn't think I could afford one... brand new. Used versions are alot cheaper. I ended up test driving a Q60 luxe and a Q50 RS400 (both used). I bought the RS400. OMG soo worth it to spend an extra 100 bucks a month for all the extras... and 400HP!
After a year, is it still worth it man? Do you still like it?
Answer the man!
I think what Infiniti does is great. They keep it as a tuner platform. So people who know what they are doing can get in on a lower end and then whoever doesn’t want to bother just gets the Red Sport.
The 3.0T S should actually be called 3.0 T “SILVER SPORT” (silver S) ...vs the RED S
But... if you want 400hp our of the factory without being paranoid of voiding warranty (I know I know you can pass inspection at sketchy places and your dealer might not care) then red sport is the choice. With the red sport you won’t have to go through any trouble trying to get more power as you would in the 300hp model. Boost I can tell it’s tough informing the audience, but you’re doing a great job doing that keep it up!👍
You wouldn’t have much trouble considering they both have the same engine but the 3.0 non red sport is just detuned from factory. With a simple tune you’re just as fast if not faster than a red sport
@@anaccount7923 Doesn't it come with a different intake, brakes, and springs?
@@MossyRootz yeah, but that’s it
Love the video. Very informative! Keep up the great content! I spent a lot of time searching and test drove both. I however at the end opted to a Q60 Red Sport for my purchase. I suppose personal preference. 🤷🏽♂️ I just didn’t want to spend so much time&money in searching for aftermarket parts here and there to essentially make it perform/look like a Red Sport. The car is fast enough in my opinion. Of course there’s always improvements for upgrades but it honestly looks/performs perfectly straight from the factory.
How’s it holding up?
im looking at getting a 3.0t premium in next 2-3weeks. reasons why:
1. with the price difference between 3.0t and RS, i could mod premium to close to 450whp
2. i have BBK from my g35x (save money, transfer components over)
3. sound system is the 14 speaker bose, not the 16 speaker bose performance series BUT its better than the luxe and signature series 6 speaker base system.
Sounds like you riding the rails bro lol you'll be happy in your purchase.
RidinOnRails q50 or q60?
@@tylerandrews9244 i picked up a '16 Q50 (a sedan man always) lol.. loving every second with the car
How much would it be to purchase all these mods on a Q60? I’m looking to buy a premium because the red sport has such a big boy price when you can mod it yourself and make it faster than a red sport for cheaper.
@@jaayytaps6692 hell, $1000 installed and you could be faster that RS400 by far (megan lower downpipes + jb4) the akebono bbk with rotors and pads probably another $1000 (sourcing used calipers) the sound system, not much difference between 14 and 16 base systems..
I bought the 2019 signature addition. White with the black chrome 19" wheels. I hadn't done my research when i went to Infiniti to look where i saw this car with its dark premium grade window tint, the Infiniti logo pin striping and those black chrome, beautiful rims with the outside sports body package. I had to have it even though i hadn't researched much. At the time this was one of their first signature editions to hit their floor. There wasn't even much reporting on the internet about this car where it was just released at the new york auto show or some show not forsure.
Love love the car. Makes me enjoy driving again. Things that i wish that this model had now that I'm somewhat more knowledgable with this car. The upgrade to the bose stereo is a definite have, tilt in electric side mirrors would be nice to have. Tilt down in reverse side mirrors beneficial to have also. Other stuff I'd elect to have is electric assisted opening and closing trunk would be a super cool feature, the electronic steering column adjusting for driver to get in and out helpful and those are the features id like to have and don't in the Sig Edit. Love the 360 cam view, front and rear camera with the top screen dedicated to these views/feature. Bottom screen for aircon, radio and features. Love it.
Things i thought i wanted but don't need or never wanted. Electronic adj suspension could be cool but sort of lame (want more like magna ride), adaptive cruise control, 360 degree blind spot monitoring (have front camera for collision monitoring, memory seats not very important for me, memory mirrors and maybe the air cooled seats. My car stays incredibly cool in even the south Texas heat and my airconditioner acts like a freezer box). Jump in the car and it cools down nicely in 1 minute.
Bad thing about infiniti or my model: runflat tires. I didn't like them. Replaced them with only a few 100 miles on car. Kept runflats for when i sell the car to get a new infiniti 21-22 model.
Only thing i believe I'm missing out on is the extra 100hp of the Red Sport model but that can be added. If there's a way to keep the stock tune saved, upload the new 100hp tune but still revert back to stock tune at anytime then that's the only way I'll get the tune. My Cobb tuner Accessport V3 allowed this function.
Thank you I love this comment
@@BoostInMotion From what I'm guessing the ecutek software tuner/tune for the 3.0T when you upload this modified tune to your car then you erase/overwrite the stock tune. Only way to replace-get the stock tune back is likely at the dealership with an automatic warranty decline. From my past experience with Ford and a turbo car, i had the need to remove my aftermarket tune many times for warranty work, TSB's and one time a out of the blue factory ecu update at the dealership.
What some people may not know or have experience with is the Accessport V3 tuner device from Cobb tuning. They make premimun and expensive performance parts for certain cars and a awesome tuning device for big-time fast Subarus, GTR's, Mazdas speed 3's, Porsche, VW and Ford mustang/st/rs. One thing their tuner did before uploading their or others customs tunes to your car, it would record the factory tune and save it. It would always swap out the oem tune and vise versa. If the tuner device was sold or removed permanently from car it removed aftermarket tune and reolaced factory tune wherby unlocking the device. Cobb makes the tuners for the specific car model but they can be sold if you sell your car or dont want the tuner any longer to another specific car owner. Also this device stores all the tunes you've paid for on it until you delete them. Helpful and beneficial for new owner because they reap the benifits of your free upgraded tunes/maps..
This feature of storing the oem tune is not going to keep the car's ecu from being able to recording/documenting the change to a aftermarket tune if the dealership chooses to investigates in the case of a major component failure for warranty but having access to swap back and forth from tunes in many instances is extremely helpul.
On a side note:
I'm doing a job next week that will provide me the expenable cash to buy ecutech tuner/Bluetooth dongle and maybe try one of the popular people who tune these cars from Q50 forum.
Also, im reaching out to Cobb tuning and asking if they can make their tuner available to tune the Q50- Q60. They have one for 2008 G37. They also have a specific plug and play tuner for the Nissan GTR too. Their tuners come with included cobb tunes, map switching, launch control, data logging, 50 plus custom guages to monitor engine parameters and code clearing/reading. Can have anyone reputable create a custom tune and load it up to your car.

@@BoostInMotion Update...there's a pretty highly regarded shop here for GTR's and imports and such in Dallas Texas. I've been trying to go in there a few times over the last year but have been going to the street over. They don't answer their phones either because of how busy they are so I thought they were closed/out of business until today. I finally got in there and met with the manager Tony. Place is called Jotech, youtube them. Got a quote for their custom Ecutek tune and dyno session to properly tune my car. Base recommendation for my use (just for occasional fast fun) was skip the dongle/blue tooth cables where they will set the car up perfectly for this area/climate and 93 fuel so no need to data log/clear codes as they are just up the street 10 min away. They are a Ecutek dealer, stock AMS parts for Q50/60 and are wanting to get into the Infinity Q50/Q60 game because of the potential these cars have for the community here in dallas, Tony's (store manager) words.
th-cam.com/video/fiwvNwUJkMQ/w-d-xo.html
Price I was quoted was 983.00 total with the complete custom dyno tuning session there in the shop.
Jotech and AMS supported dealership: th-cam.com/video/P4_T8rN5gDI/w-d-xo.html
I went with a redsport an honstely the cooling goes a long way in this florida heat and it’s a nice flex to have one of the only Q50 redsports out of all the vr30’s in my area
and in 2017 they released an exclusive redsport option called the designer package for the Q50 and that gives it mocha brown interior with wood grain accent btw, my car came with it and i covered the wood grain with carbon it looks amazing
Any years to look out for or their practice identical
At the end of this vid, I’m happy I bought the RS 😂
Rs haha wtf
I just got a 3.0
@@jakelatayan8062 red sport
I got a 3.0t premium, thinking about trading it in for a red sport.
getting my 2018 3.0t tommorow so excited
Nice hopefully you can find a 3.0 T sport
So did you get it
@@Diioooonn Yes 🤣
Just bought my red sport yesterday thanks for the info
for your info: the q60 r/s muffler weighs 28 #, not 36#. deleted it and found the sound almost silent at highway speed, louder when accelerating but not unpleasant. thought u all wud like to know.
Thanks for the breakdown partner.
Red Sport engine oil cooler 2 water pumps better gearing turbo sensor big brakes which comes red better wheels
Good video. I have been thinking of getting a Q50. Drove the q50 sport and was not impressed compared to my 2017 Charger RT. I drove the Q50 red sport and I liked the power but not the price. I like modding my car to add 50-100 reliable hp. If I switch, I will probably go with the Q50 sport and mod it.
Perfect explanation. No one even knows it’s a redsport 😢
It’s ok I do
Definitely a question I had
If you think Infiniti short changed RS400 buyers on the Q50 motor then Acura royally screwed TLX buyers with the A-Spec.
had a 2003 G35 2007 G37 2014 Q50 2019Q60..brought this back because i couldn't fit my son in the back seat so i got a 2017 Q50 3.0 for 20k cash, got a tune, then a retune, LDP's , CBE, INTAKES, HX i think I spent 3500 for everything for over 150HP
I would say that's the best bang for its buck
@@BoostInMotion yeah man maybe a little over with tints and nitto tires, but thats about it, but I probably will sell this car next year
change is coming G37 didn’t make them in 07 buddy u probably had a g35 with the same body as the G37
Hi Boost. First time viewer here. Great vid! Really liked the info
Thank you I appreciate it
The ipl added 18hp and better springs to it handled better to.
I agree.
I IPL-ed my 2018 AWD Red Sport. 😂🤣 even put the IPL badge on the trunk lid (left), and AMS badge on the right.😁😎
With all car mfrs, you can upsell features that get you closer to the higher trim. The difference with the higher trim is - IT INCLUDES EVERYTHIONG STANDARD + more HP and torque, plus exclusive wheels, + the exclusive red color, + all the other unique items you downplayed.
LMFAOOO "y0U hAv3 A anDri0d". Good content boost. I literally get all my knowledge about Q50 because of your page. Im in my second year of college rn and I'm saving up to purchase a q50 when I graduate, I was contemplating between the RS and 3.0T and this video definitely showed me which way to go!
This was really helpful thank you boost!!!
Q60S Silver Sport was the best option for both stock use and a great platform for future mods… unfortunately the last year offered as option was 2018.
@alexkennedy7235 it was essentially a 300hp version of the Red Sport. Same upgraded larger brakes and adjustable sport suspension.
You definitely helped me out with this video. You have a new Subscriber! Thanks
I like the redsport but I like the sleeper idea of the regular 3.0 and is more underrated than redsport....
Boost giving it to the people straight that's what's up thanks brother look forward to seeing you in the streets ske3ert!!!! Vpower baby
Keep grinding bro! Great videos and personality
thanks for this video bro, definitely helped a ton.
Boost is speaking major facts
Excellent video Boost. Agree with your assessment and appreciate your insight. Glad I found you .
Dig the round specs, they are coming back. Also, good info on the Q50's, thanks!
This guy knows what he is talking about
I don't regret buying my 2018 AWD RS. I did not want DAS but I would have liked Adaptive CC, and Lane Assist. But DAS comes with it.. I believe.
I have added most everything you can besides Coilovers, as no DDS compatible coilovers are currently available for the Q50/Q60.
We tried to get KW to make a few DDS compatible coilovers for a group buy..but no go. I'm waiting for them. Maybe some day.
When AMS releases the bigger turbos I'll drive out and have them installed along with an AL one piece drive shaft. Allegedly 600 HP with the turbos and retune on pump gas.
Be advised the AMS RS600 test car has a Level 10 transmission on it. The RS600 "Kit" will not include a transmission upgrade, BUT I would NOT consider going to bigger turbos without out a Level 10 upgrade.
Be aware the OEM transmission will overheat at a high EcuTec levels of power. Since I'm keeping my RS I had Pat at Level 10 upgrade my tranny.
It has more than just the modified torque converter and "Bulletproof valve body". It's good to about 1000/1000. It shifts harder and has 8% less slippage than OEM. It also has a higher volume pump to help with cooling.
I have a more conservative EcuTec tune from Sep. It's not as hot as the other Co., but does not push the OEM turbos far out of the efficiency range. This is for turbo longevity.
Already Infiniti is starting to replace turbos due to failures (leaking)
The 425/500 tune is at the very edge. Mine transmission showed signs of overheating at only 420/485 FYI. Keep this in mind.
I did the tranny for the better shifting and because bigger turbos have always been part of my upgrade path.
Then I went to the 6 piston front and 4 piston rear AP Racing BBK
Best mod, with ZERO buyers remorse, was my Fast Intentions catted full downpipes and CBE.
I wanted the lower gearing the RS has, and put in the Z1 LSD to help put the power to the road.
Naturally I have AMS intakes and Heat Exchanger. HKS blowoff valves too. If you tune it, you SHOULD have blow off valves to help reduce boost spiking damage. I also got mine for the improved drivability, eliminating the surge "off throttle". A must have if you race your Q. IMHO.
Boost in Motion is right. You can get any 3.0t and make 425 hp to save $. Most people don't NEED sport brakes, dual water pumps, oil cooler, turbo speed sensors, red thread in their seats to go fast. 90% of the drivers don't care about the gearing difference either. A Silver Sport can make tons of power.
In the end its just a car. Get what you want as your base. A Lux, LDPs and a JB4 will get you there and save a pile of $ but in the end it's still just a Lux.
The only thing that makes a 300 hp a 400 hp is the ECU parameters nothing mechanical. Unlike the G37IPL which had HARDWARE differences to make the power. Exhaust, and ECU tweaks (stiffer springs too.)
Whats up bro. Couple quick questions for you. I also have a 18 rs awd, fbo. I was thinking about getting tuned on corn this weekend, but a conservative tune 500/500 after changing out and putting fresh diff and tranny fluid in from amsoil, do you think it would help? Or should i wait and upgrade the tranny first? I dont beat on the car im already on a conservative tune as well like u 430/490 havent seen no issues yet. Do you think the motor is gonna be able to take that extra boost on stock internals with the upgraded turbos?
@@antjr971
@@johninnh4880 thanks for the fluid info bro.. im definitely changing the tranny fluid and front and rear diff. Im definitely gonna do a conservative tune on the corn like i did on the 93.
I already have all the parts on to run the corn. Hpfp, lpfp, aluminum one piece flex fuel etc etc. Just have to tune for it this weekend. My concern was the transmission holding up.
Im not really a.corn guy either but its a temporary fix untill those turbos come out and see how the motor responds as you said.
430/490 is more than enough in nyc i can barely enjoy it as it is. Therefore i agree 500/500 is where im gonna keep it at this weekend for the time being.
I really dont beat on the car, unless its something worthy ofnthe gas lol.
But ill definitely keep you posted man to share info with you after this weekend when everything is done.
@@antjr971
This is one of the best comments here. Shows realistic understanding of Red Sport vs the lower trims. Good job.
You confirmed why I bought the Red Sport and why it’s worth the price (unless you are an enthusiast motor head (which is great!)). If you add to cost of locating upgrade parts, time, installation, larger wheels, looks, interior, 100 hp!, you ARE paying a significant portion of the higher priced Red Sport. Being an enthusiast is the sole reason why I would buy the 3T model S and convert to a want-to-be Red Sport. Otherwise purchase the Red Sport. Absolutely love mine, a (now) 4-in-a-row Infiniti purchaser (G37S coupe; G37S convertible hard top; QX70S; and now proud owner of Q60 RS 400-awesome!!!
Very well explained brother. I'm about to get a 2018+ Q50s within this next month and you're video definitely verified some things. All I care about is having the VR30, slapping an ark exhaust, test pipes / intakes & tune on it. As far as cosmetics, im throwing some wheels on it and bagging it. Carbon fiber as well, interior/ex and thats it. But I do have one question, which trims have the paddle shifters? Im getting the sport but im seeing some people dont have it in sport. Does that have to do with what selection of package?
Amazing i'm in a dilema right now on what sport sedan to get and i always love the look of a q50 modified. i want something that has good power stock with an exhaust and and some wheels. probably going to get a q50 3.0t sport
I bought a 2018 q60 silver sport and i love it
I recommend this 100% save the money and get it tuned and buff the heat exchanger to ams parts!
I have an iphone 😂😂😂😂 its like having the 128gb instead of 512gb
You dont need all that storage anyways.
Hey Boost In Motion, I have one for you and I do not know if anyone else has asked this question. What about the Q50s Hybrid vs Q50s Red Sport? This is for those people out there that are new to trying out the car and deciding what to buy.
Those are the power house Q50 sports strait from the factory as far as horse power and torque. I have a Q50s Hybrid which is my daily car (weekend warrior is my GTO) and that is the one I take to work because I drive 2 to 3 hours in traffic one way. It is very good on the gas mileage. BTW, love the vids keep up the great work!
It's very hard for me to do a comparison video on those two because one is a fuel efficient V6 and other is a twin turbo V6.
They are Polar Opposites. In a sense of their job Duty.
Sounds like u want power get the Q50 RS.
Personally I’m in the market in buying a Q50. I’m looking between the sports and RS. Since im buying a used vehicle, from what I saw the prices don’t have a big gap
Great information, nice job.
You're welcome
Honestly just buy a luxe. throw a chin spoiler trunk spoiler lower it and get a jb4 you’ll be happy.
Where they get you is there’s certain people that are haunted knowing they don’t have the best version of something and the price difference is about $5k for some people it’s worth the price jump like possibly me 😅 idk mannn 😂 that red S is a flex imo... and leaving a car stock like that will hold its value much better overtime like u said
I've been debating for the last 2 months on Sport and 400 Sport. I need those paddles lol because I've had nothing but stick cars my entire life. I almost broke my moms car by putting the car in park at a redlight thinking it was Neutral. That's how bad my reflexes are. With this video... I have decided to go with the SPORT and not the 400 Sport. Thank you for helping me decide!
which one
@@Wheres3series I changed my mind again 😅 I’m going tomorrow to see a 400 Sport 2017
Gonna go check out a CPO 2018 q50 red sport tomorrow! If everything checks out I'll be a new red sport owner!
nice make sure you get it fully loaded
@@BoostInMotion it's got the proactive package, sensory package, carbon fiber package, welcome lighting package with illuminated door sills, emblem and underbody lighting and only 17,000 miles with certified preowned warranty. Black with black interior. Dealer asking $39k. Cant pass up this car.
There's a ~$5k difference between a sport and red sport. For that $5k, you get the shorter final drive ratio, turbo sensors, 2nd water pump, and better stock tune. Not to mention semi-aniline quilted leather seats, aluminum pedal accents, wider wheels and tires. If you get the sport, you'd have to upgrade many things in order to match/exceed the performance of a red sport. With the limitations of the turbos being so apparent, is it really worth it? RS + JB4 is way more cost effective than S + tune + supporting mods.
It’s a 8k difference
3.0t sport 48-50k depending on your state, 3.0t red sport 58k

^ Facts
I just bought a 2017 q60 sport and my dad has a 2019 q50 red sport and ive drove them both and i honestly cant tell that much of a difference in the power for the price difference.
Cap
Insurance be the problem tho especially for us youngins I want a red sport and I’m 19 years young and insurance for it is so expensive 😢
Kevin Madueno my same fucking problem and a cosigner.
Aye bro good grades , drivers Ed and just be being a good driver every year will help lower it down
Personally I would just get a VHR 3.7 for the incredible NA soundtrack and it has enough power to have fun with alot of the Admintuned ones making 330 to 345whp. If you want boost I would go with a new Supra GR as they are running 10's with just a downpipe and retune and sound much better than the muted VR30. Everybody has their own opinion but the new Supra's on the used market would be a great deal once the platform has been out longer on the market
I completely agree and I understand
@Trevon Adams The 3.0T Silversport is a good budget turbo build yes but it's not touching the VHR in the soundtrack department, also I haven't seen a VR30 that sounded good yet no matter what exhaust and downpipe combo it has compared to what Infiniti enthusiasts are used to from the VQ's. I was also referring to Supra's once they are available on the used market and cheaper to buy. The 3.0 T in the Supra even sounds good stock and with downpipes it sounds incredible, I feel the Supra will be the better buy on the used market

@@stevornrichards1380 They aren't putting that motor in the Z it's been in the Infiniti for awhile, they are afraid it will mess with GTR sales. Even if they did it wouldn't sound as good as the Supra and the Supra has more potential.
Awesome content
The difference is in the software upgrade and 100 hp difference is a lot no matter how you put it,
But if you're modifying the car it doesn't make sense to get it. Because when they're both modified they make the same amount of power
That's the water pump is only $500 from AMS. I don't see the sense in spending 5 to 10 grand more for red sport model for that
Hey man great vid! Really helps figure out if the Red Sport or the S port is better for me.
I had a question for you though. I've been looking for a 2016 Q50 for a while now, will be purchasing one next year but just wondering: is the Sport that much better then the premium?
I'm looking at premium + premium plus package and the driver assistance if avail. I found that the paddles are super easy to install so not worried about those.
For Sport, I notice there isn't too many options but the price is about $5k+ when comparing with the Premium.
Is that worth the price difference? I tried searching online for a comparison between what's part of the Sport and Premium but no luck. Hoping you can help me out please.
the difference is the big brake kit so bigger brakes and if it has it optioned the dynamic suspension
I’m looking in to getting a Q50 next year but didn’t kno really which one to get but thanks to your video I’m pretty confident I want a RS the 3.0t S is also a good option but on some things like the bumper ima avoid shipping and handling cost/time
What about AWD AND RWD ?
.
awd, u can make it rwd if you’d like but its 200lb’s heavier
I think it's a little misleading to say Infiniti is putting the "base engine" in the red sport when it has 100 more horsepower. I understand it's the same internals and turbochargers but its still +100 in comparison and can still be tuned. From a business standpoint it wouldn't make sense for Infiniti to spend more money on internals for the 1 percent that tunes these cars expecting reliable GT-R horespower numbers. The car is already topping out at a beyond crazy $64k. Imagine Infinitis "price justification" if it had specific engine.
I would have to respectfully agree to disagree with you. As a business practice this makes good amount of money.
But as a consumer this is underselling. A hundred more horsepower does not justify another $10,000 above a 3.0 T sport.
Red sport should have been exclusive. But Infiniti did not want to build a M4 competitor.
This is like purchasing two identical cell phones with the same exact processor. What Apple decided to Place firmware to slow down the processing speed. To upsell the other version.
To me that is bad business practice because you're getting the same product.
@@BoostInMotion I totally understand and 100% agree with what you're saying about the car as a whole. I just disagree with the engine portion. The engine alone definitely doesn't justify a $10,000 price increase but no matter how you slice it, it's still 100 horsepower more so I wouldn't call it a base engine. Kind of like a Ford F-150 Raptor doesn't have a base ecoboost engine even though it's technically the same internals as a Lariat EcoBoost.
That's what I waiting to hear about. Where does the extra horsepower come from? All I got from this is how the sport is the same or can be the same if modded.
@@jmasoncars4452 still bruh the red sport costs way more, it dose not justify a 10,000 mark up
@@RobertGrant80 100% agree, all I'm saying is it does not have a base engine.
Less premium equipment the lighter, the better.
My redsport has dual water pumps and oil cooler plus a better tune on the transmission. Plus paddle shifters and the red paint I have can not be had in the lower versions.
Okay thank you for watching.
AND lower gearing 😉
Good content, but you killing the flow with this third person fake questions. It's just too much. At the end of the day I'll be keeping my G37s 6mt sedan. But I'm tempted by the turbo performance 🥺
Appreciate that thank you
The RS has more cooling for engine and trans and it has bigger brakes, wheels, suspension, slightly different turbos, etc. Yes they are diffetent. I had a Q40S. Loved it. The old 3.7 is far, far more reliable too.
Boost, red sport should have the ams intakes and heat exchanger and lds then it is worth it. Unless you live in Cali get the red sport b\c we are screwed. I live in Cali and I hate the rules
Boost can you do a “Red sport AWD vs Red sport RWD”?
Simple one will spin all day every day lol
I’ve seen your Q50 in Staten Island before, nice car
ALRIGHT BOOST BUT WHAT ELSE ARE YOU TELING ME ??
If I had money for a red sport I’d be buying a Cadillac CTS v.lol 556-650 horsepower for almost the same price.
Isn't a CTS-V $80k+? Red sport is under $60k.
@@gillbates5788 you can get deals on them. Plus the you can get a cts v2 for 29-40k
Does CTS come in AWD?
Sport+ mode wont make it any quicker too. Using paddles wont make any vehicle quicker either. And if you want to do more than 0-60, rwd is the way to go. Rwd will dust awd models above 60 in rolls.
so buy a 3.0t and put your money into downpipes and e85 tune from uprev youll be pushing closer to 500 hp
3.0t sport its the same as the red sport with out a tune
@@BoostInMotion man, you got good content boost. There's a 10k to 12k difference from a red sport to a non red sport.... Non red sport all the way and tune is the way to go for me. Bang for your buck.
I got the redsport because i wanted the candy red paint. Thats it.
According to my research, some models come with the “porous blocks” and it’s recommended to monitor coolant levels, but my question is which coolant levels do you monitor? The heat exchanger smaller reservoir, or the regular bigger coolant?
Great video but my q60S RED SPORT Motor blew and there was only two red sport motors in the nation. They could not put the 3.0t in. it had to be the red sport model engine. i have the paper work still. unfortunately boost it cannot be the same exact motor or they would have put the 3.0t in my car.
i do understand though its not much of a difference power wise
How about for reliability any idea what better for a long run 3.0 t or 3.6 ? Sport
any NA motor will always be more reliable.
My opinion is all depends of what you can spend and what you wanna do. But your opinion may will a little different if you went with the Red Sport 👌🏼. Another little thing is if you pay those 10k for the Red at the end of the day when you bring your luxe look and drive like Red sport the cost will be less all day and you are gonna lose the money too. Other than that good comparison 😉
love your videos, very informative. I just bought a 2018 luxe. What would you reccomend for a tuner. I am looking to get 500 ish hp. Burger has the kit with the JB4, air fikter kit and bigger intercooler,your thoughts?
I want the Infiniti Q60 so bad
Amazing video & review Boost, I'd like to get ur advise I have got a 2019 Q50 Red sport from FL & I imported it to Dubai but unfortunately the engine is blown (I knew this before purchasing) Now I don't want to swap engine with a normal VR 30ddtt I wanna rebuild it due differences so Can I buy a normal vr30 engine as a donner to replace the damaged parts?
For the FCA engine comparison you forgot the regular 5.7 HEMI which is between the 3.6 V6 and the 392.
Picked up an AWD Q60s a few months ago, i love taking it out for a drive on sunny days, its a stunner. Any Ideas on a louder exhaust? been looking at "fast"
not to many on the market
Check out stillien exhaust, there’s some good exhaust for the q but boost doesn’t get sponsored for them so he doesn’t promote them
Got a 2018 luxe for a good price 👌
Probably for the low twenties which is a good deal
I got mine 18luxe awd for 24
@@BoostInMotion I had to have the VR30 after hearing about the potential, upgraded from 06 wrx
So what people really got to understand about Nissan and technically Renault? Who is the parent company of those two Nissan and Infiniti? They control supply lines. The insurance is really high on them because the parts are so expensive I was looking at an 2018 Alfa Romeo gulia quadrifolia it had 41,000 mi on it. I could have had two of those fully insured for $5 cheaper than one red sport. Now there was a new red sport. But still you're talking about a car with a handbilt Ferrari engine in it and you can have two of them insured cheaper than what one red sport was. I end up going with the stinger scorpion edition and I had a 2005 Nissan Murano that caught on fire, of course with just comprehensive on it. That brand new stinger which is $56,000 is $25 less a month than a Murano was a 2005 Murano which is absurd. I had O2 sensors done. They were $300 some dollars a piece the window cleaner reservoir I asked my mechanic about how much just off the top of his head. He said all said and done maybe 150. The reservoir itself was 20, 0 and I think most people that have Nissans or infinities they had them most of their time driving so they don't even know that. It's ridiculous on what they charge for parts and what insurance cost on them and they're not even the good cars they once were back in the very early 2000s. Once we're not bought them they want the other way. You're rarely going to have them last over 100,000 mi anymore. Before Renault bought them. It would be extremely rare to have one not make it well over 100,000 mi it's one thing people should do more of before they buy a car. See who the parent company is who owns them and you can't go off of what your last one did if you had one because it might not be owned by the same company anymore. Like Chrysler got sold millions of times and they became crap cars and they were once good. Every two years they were bought by a different company. Really the last year they were good was 98. Those Jeeps u still see on the road. You hardly see any Jeeps in between '99 to let's say 2015 anymore on the road. I can probably add that closer to 2017 or 18 I had a Q50 for a very short time. I hated that drive-by wire system get up over 115 mph. It starts bouncing and you feel like you're on ice and like I'm done with this car but it felt unbelievably fast and that engine sound is amazing. But I went against a 400 red sport in my stinger which is 100% stock and I beat it pretty bad at no time. Was it even stopping me from pulling away? And I'm heavier than that car. But the stingers horsepower number is actually at the wheel, not the crank. I wish they would advertise that more so it actually has more horsepower than the 400 red sport at the crank and I saw Dino of a scorpion like mine that was stocking. It's closer to 410 at the wheels. My best 60 time is a 4.18 from a dig and then if you do the stupid 1-ft roll out is a 3.92. With five people in the car I still do a 4.68
To me u left out the most important question people need to know! Because if they both use the same turbo's and the regular 3.0 turbo is 300 hp & the same turbo puts out 400hp with the red sport turbo are the exact same. How easy is it to tune the 3.0 turbo up to the 400hp range if not higher? U FOLLOW ME ? THATS WHAT U DID NOT EXPLAIN ! Not everyone knows, but how easy it is to tune the boast up? Also how many pounds does the normal 3.0 300hp push as compared to the RED SPORT 400HP How much is the boast pushed up for the 100 hp gain!?!
I see on autotrader the regular 3.0T Q60 is the same price as the Red Sport Q50. Now my question is if I want to make it easy for my backseat passengers
I know they're different cars but the prices are the same. I've really been considering the Red Sport or m240 or 340, which do you think is better?
340 has better Tech. It's just more up-to-date. Also the 340 has ZF 8-speed and the b-58 which is a good power plant
The M240 and Q60 redsport are actually the two cars I am considering now lol. Thanks for the question and answer
Can you make the same video about the VQ models? Red sport vs Premium etc.
With the 3.7 the sport get Sport Wheels sport bumpers and paddle shifters in sport seats that's it.
Boost In Motion thank you appreciate it
Well said
SO Did I miss the part when you covered AWD Or RWD??? Interested in a 3.0tsport
Never really spoke about rwd versus AWD
@@BoostInMotion def get AWD. no lsd w/ rwd :/
What tune would I need to make the sport run like a red sport?
If you watched the video bro, they’re the same exact shit lol
JB4 or a tune.
You think a set of golf clubs can fit in a q60?
So would you suggest i should get the 3.0t n get new exhaust and tune it cuz then i should push the same 400 hp ?
Pretty much.
So there’s a 3.0t S & then a 3.0t red sport ?
Quick question bro is it better to a AWD or RWD for performance n tuned?
AWD is quicker but top out faster than RWD
Im looking to get a 3.0 t what year would you guys recommend?
What’s the difference between the sport and the 3.0t? I’m new to Infiniti I have no knowledge regarding these cars and I wanna learn more
sport package
Red Sport on both cars has 400hp and is the highest trim, the 3.0T has 300hp.
