Words can’t describe how good this car makes me feel
Ngl that’s a sick ass exterior color combo🔥🔥
Merry Christmas bro! Dope vid
Sick as wrap ❤❤ love the mods i really need to invest in my q50 more they shine ✨️
Damn man your car is nice as hell! You got that thing sitting right💪😏
Appreciate you bro
Fucking sweet bro! These machines are absolutely nice.
This makes me miss my q60 i had to cop that m4 tho😂 your q50 is dope tho bro💯
Hands down the nicest q50 i have ever seen, had to subscribe!
Thanks so much bro
I have a 07 g35, but you are the reason I’m getting a q50
clean q bro, another thing i think you should do is dye your seats red and make everything else black on the inside, looks way better but thats up to you, your car just a recommendation 👍🏽
I’ve thought about it but I love the seat color right now and I’m not really interested in that.
Nice build bro not sure if i’d do the split color thing but it looks great , clean job .I have the q 60 coupe looking fire too
It’s more to promote my business than anything but thanks bro
@@josewraps so, the entire car is a tax write-off? A rolling billboard?
W q50 tryna be like you fr
Yo that BAD A$$ Q50 bro 👍🏼
Appreciate you bro
Nice video
Nice ass build man. I have a 17 Q50 SS. My mods are aFe drop in filters, BMS inlets, AMS HX, AAM lower downpipes and JB4. I running an axle
Back for sound lol gonna get a full exhaust soon. 5k miles before my factory warrant is up. Then I’m gonna get tuned by SonicTuned. Hopefully I make good power on 93.
Why not just go Racebox?
@@josewraps RB, sonic, & AMS are all jus about the same
They are all well known reputable tuners for the vr30 platform
Bro you car in insane. I'm about to buy a 2016 red sport and plan on doing similar mods!
Appreciate you brother you won’t be disappointed
I have a FBO 2016 redsport for sale if you’re interested, good price and clean title
@@addisonsorrells5851 how many miles?
Wow I’m sold. I’m in uk tho so a lot of the mods won’t be available here but I’ll be happy if I can get a proper tune, exhaust work, coil overs, tints and some bodywork adjustments i.e spoiler, 4d gel plates, new wheels and tyres
Take that badboy to the track
shes cleannnn
Thank you
great vid sick car. whats the link on the cell phone holder. also you sadi u got an aftermarket sport front bumper. where di you get that?
You should get the new turbos by z1. They are called the vrx70, with your current setups you could get around 750+ hp.and it helps with temps alot, they are bolt on meaning no modification.
I’m actually going to make a video on these soon
🔥
Nice! I wouldn't recommend putting the blowoff valves on, as your ECU cannot account for it. You'd be trading sound, for possible issues/damage to the engine/turbos.
Yea I don’t think I will
@@josewrapsL put it on
I still have my on no issues year later and actually the are a warranty for you turbos the pressure from turbos have to go somewhere better out than in.
@lucky boy The car has electronic wastegates. That's where it goes.
I thought they protect the turbos by releasing the pressure
Car looking Fire 🔥
The visual looks nuts. What's the engine's resource with these mods?
I have a 2016 with the same exhaust , 1320 LDP, burger Motorsport intakes, silicone inlets, tuned by speciality z pushing 430 on 91 but exterior nowhere near this
Nice q man why aren’t u making more on e30? I’m on 93 and I make those numbers might cause I’m full downpipe not sure if that makes big difference
To be honest with you man I’ve never been on a dyno so these were just ballpark numbers. I actually have no idea how much I’m pushing
Full Downpipes are around a 20 Peak WHP when compared to a Lower Downpipe.
Whats the name of that front lip/splitter? Or where u bought it?
For a second I thought it was a red and black car comparison lol
im pushing 473whp and 508tq on my Q60 with pretty much same bolt ons on 93pump gas with my dyno tune. im assuming you are e-tuned via the ecutek app? i think you could push for power with a dyno tune. sweet wrap though
I didn’t have anyone locally like that I got remote tuned by racebox but that’s hella good numbers for 93 actually
When you switch maps from daily and race mode are you still making the same power on 91 octane? Or does it shift better depending on the mode
It changes the amount of boost you push so you definitely feel a power difference
Fire whip bro, how much did everything end up costing?? I’ve had mine for about a year and haven’t touched any upgrades just ambient lighting for the interior which is dope
That’s actually what my next video consists of. Will be dropping this week but I’ve had it for 2 years now so a little here and a little there adds up 🤣
For the 2018 red sport bumper swap what did you swap out? Like I know the grill has to go but does everything else plug n play like the fog lights
There’s a bunch of videos explaining this bust basically the grille and emblem bracket have to be replaced and if it comes with the fog light bezels then you will be fine. Your oem fog lights amd turn signal lights will bolt right up to the new bezels.
would you recommend getting the AMS intakes or just getting z1 performance drop in filters for the oem ones?
Ive read only a lot of people saying just do drop in filters cus oem is already actually super solid
I am running the Ams and did feel a difference in my 2024 redsport!! Instant boost and sound!!!
can you link the phone mount plesse
Why didnt you get the AMS stage 3 tune? It produces about 450whp and 500lbs torque. The kit is; intakes, large heat exchanger, lower down pipes and the tune+ port dongal.
I wanted just a little more power and wanted to run a little bit of E so that’s why I went with that. What I have was basically between the stage 3 and the ra500 package. But they don’t offer that thru ams but all my parts are ams
@josewraps I totally understand. I just want to keep it at 93 octaine for now. But yeah it's all about mapping your gains where you want it 😎👍
Im looking into either a 340i cus rhe b58 and zf combination. But i also love the vr30TT and personally love the looks of the Q. I only need a good 400-450whp as i dont needa be the fastest car, just wanna play around with some v8s and other faster cars. Also would make it more track inspired rather than straight line monster. What are the communities thoughts ?
Personally big fan of the vr platform however I think the b58 is more reliable. You can expect about the same power so it really comes down to looks and budget.
what phone mount is that bro? magnetic ? what brand? link? cheers man@@josewraps
I like your car.
Do I need the flex fuel kit or the low pressure fuel pump?
I'm getting racebox soon, and already have HX, CBE and LDP mounted.
I run on 94 Octane
You only need flex fuel and low pressure if you plan on running any sort of e blend. I Tun e30 so that’s why. If you plan on running anything higher than e30 then you need the high pressure fp as well
Your whip is tight, have you been to the track yet ?
yo idk if it was you or idk but I saw ur car a few days ago in manteca CA
Yea it is. I live here.
Where in Cali you at and do you do wraps for people? Obviously for a price lol
I’m in the 209 my shop is in Manteca specifically
Hey i just put on the mbrp exaust what should i do next for performace , should i wait for the tune and get intakes and down pipes, heat exchanger or get the tune and than everything else
Tune will be the last thing you want to add
Man these cars look pretty good and perform well. I just cant get past the fact that theyre a Nissan. That alone deters me so much.
I mean same could be said about the gtr. But Lexus is just a Toyota, Audi is just a VW, Cadillac is just GM and so on. Just get what you like lol.
@@josewraps I get that its just some have much better build quality than others. The GTR is kind of an exception seeing that is much more limited and the build quality is more closely watched. I like the car tho bro.
What’s the best q50 trim for performance mods ? I know the redsport stock is the fastest with twin turbo but I want to be able to beat hellcats after modding one out
They all have the same engine same turbos. If you want to beat a hellcat just buy the cheapest trim of the 3.0t and go full bolt on and upgrade the turbos.
@@josewrapsIs there any advantage of a Redsport vs a base model then?
@@Adrians_Editsyes when the cars are stock. Not really when they are tuned. The redsport from factory already comes tuned with 400 hp and it has an extra water pump but that’s the main difference so you would see more of a difference if you tuned a base 3.0t as opposed to a redsport. If you don’t plan on tuning it get a red sport.
@@josewraps thanks for the advice that actually helps alot
@@Adrians_Edits the gear range is shorter on the luxe, from what i have been told if you can go balls deep into the luxe itd be the fastest at the end.. or other way around, but there IS a difference in their gear ranges for sure
What times 0-60mil boss?
Link for phone holder
Just copped a 2019 silversport. I purchased 4 yr warranty. Mods I have done so far carbon fiber m mirrors, carbon fiber spoiler and trunk trim and Helmholtz v2 exhaust. Would you choose jb4 or Ecutek tune ? I do not want to damage turbos/engine or void warranty.
If you want an easy removal I would recommend just getting the jb4. Now I never had one but I know a buddy of mine that does and you can take that bad boy off whenever you take it to the dealer. The one thing I would highly recommend is getting an AMS heat exchanger. It doesn’t void warranty and it prevents heat soaking for those hot days. 100% best mod
Jb4 only way to not void warranty
wish i had e85 in my state...stuck on 93 smh . ya car looks fresh tho rlly like the lip /aero tho tbh ive heard some bad things with southbay idk GLHF
Appreciate you brother and I think Jalisco is probably the best of the best but they are always out of stock but Southbay is my boy so I have to rep ya know.
Can you blend your own 100+ octane gas? Buy 93 and put it in 5gal jugs, then mix in an octane booster to turn the 93 into 100. I know race c100 is expensive, but upping octane yourself should be doable. Find the octane booster that you like or fits your needs and figure out the ratio needed to get to your target value. Yes, all of your gas will go into 5gal cans before it goes into your car, so planning ahead is necessary.
@@K03sport i have a vp right up the street but its pricey, if ima mix anything itll but m1 /water meth inj. i wanna be able to just get fuel at a pump not adding or mixing anything in the tank.
@@sr20boostjunkie...neat. Here in the upper mid-west, e85 (or whatever the blend is) is available at every station. It might be good stuff for power, but you fill up at 1.5x the rate of gasoline (e10).
@@K03sport yea idk why e85 just aint on the east coast like that. but yea E deff burns quicker lol meth inj aint bad exp since vr is direct inj will help to clean intake / valves. i just wanna make sure ecutec has some type of saftey trigger i can get set up, weather its a meth flow meater or even i.a.t under wot n limp mode if its not pumping / cooling.
So we all have the camshaft lights on😂
Do you have the AMS race heat exchanger or the regular one?
Regular. No need for the other one unless it’s an actual drag racing car or track car
Does the tune app come with those tune when you buy it? For example on bmw with Mhd there’s the off the self tunes? Or do you buy the tunes after buying the app and all that
Racebox offers OTS tunes but mine was a custom tune so I had to do logs and sent my files and reflash so it takes longer but it’s more worth it.
@@josewraps around how much did that cost? Right now I’m looking at a 3.0t q50 or a bmw 340/335. I like bmw because the easy tuning and modding. But I would prefer the q50 just confused with how to tune it
@@qwizz446 honestly the process is not hard. If you are local to them they can do dyno tune but if you are doing remote tuning they help you they ought the process
Do you have any exhaust suggestions that aren’t crazy expensive ?
Sure thing the one I have is the MBRP one which is a full catback and it’s under 1k I think I paid like 950 or something like that.
Check speedcultures you tube videos he has a custom exhaust pretty reasonable .I used it minus the Borla muffler which i still have
What is your definition of crazy expensive? Axle-back, catback, turbo back? Do you want titanium or is stainless good? You can also save by installing yourself. Find the system that you want and then look/wait for sale/specials. Lastly, what loudness level are you after?
Bro I think you’re the q50 I seen in person, I’m in stockton.
Im from Manteca do yes probably
@@josewraps Think so, you was parked in front of King’s Jewelry like 2 weeks ago.
@@fasholylando oh yea me and my girl were there. Went in to fix my girls chain
Where did you buy your bbk? And how much was it.
I believe I got from concept Z and I got drilled and slotted rotors and the akebono calipers for the front for like $1k I wanna say
Where you get the hood from? (idk if I missed that in the video.. if I did sorry)
Hood is from Fly1Motorsports
What is that phone mount bro its fire! I need that for my q50
On god that sat so fucking good 🔥
Does your after market steering wheel 🛞 still heat up??
Of course not. My car didn’t even come with that feature in the first place so I didn’t really care.
Question, im a big infiniti/nissan guy an currently have a 2011 g37 im looking to trade it in to get me a 2017+ q50but i hear so much on how the motors go bye bye (blow up) an there not reliable i wana hear it coming from a modded vr guy like you, so would it be a good choice for me ?
What are you looking for in the car? Reliability or performance?
@@Alan3.7 a little bit of both
Just got mines twin a 2017 3.0 q50 I’ll let you know if my engine blows it’s stock rn boutta mode that hoe tho 😫😫
@@JoshuaTellesvega keep me updated 🤝
@@amaterasu0929 Based from what I’ve seen and heard, once you get aftermarket turbos your engine should be good.
Hey bro how’s it going with the q at 60k miles I’m thinking of getting a 65k miles 3.0t luxe that’s only 16,665 I kinda wanna do it
Imma be honest bro I’m on my second engine so my new engine only has like 25k miles on it. My first one blew when it was like 45k. Kind of worked out in my favor tho because I went full bolt on on the new engine.
How did you blow up your engine
@@turbostylerthe VR30’s are notorious for the turbos blowing which in turn blows the engine.
@@RedShirtMenace808 Does the turbo blow and cause a loss in oil pressure or something?
I’m at 65k miles bought it used at 32 only issue I’ve had is the belt shredding
can you get that bumper on a 14 Q50? If so please link
eBay got it
Hey thinking about getting one of these how is it with the gas? Please answer
I averaged around 20mpg. Obviously it depends on how you drive it
What tires do you have?
Toyo proxes I need something better in the back. Loses traction way to easy but 245 40/19 and 275 35/19
Are the BC’s maxed out?
No bro not even close
Is the race box tune the same as ECUtech?
All tunes on the vr30 go thru ecutek I believe. They all use that platform.
@@josewraps so what’s racebox ?
@@kiastingergt2231 racebox is the tunes same as AMS or Bt tuning they all use ecutek
@@josewraps ohhh some ecutek Is the obd2 port they use to tune the cars I gotcha !
Can I run e30 without a lpfp?
Not recommended at all I would say just buy the lpfp it’s only about $250 it’ll save you money by using the right parts in the long run.
Bro With Just AMS Heat exchanger , AMS intakes , Mbrp exhaust, and ams LD ,And No Tune How Much Hp You Think That Is On The Wheel?
On 93*
I’m not going to lie bro you feel gains but it’s not good to run it like that because it makes your car run too lean
I’m New To This ‘ Can You Explain How?
You can add all the parts you want. It won’t make gains without a tune brotha.
@@Fecho00You actually can but will run lean. It's best to tune ASAP.
does it matter what year model i get this car in to start making it look good or does it have to be a certain year model
Well if you want a vr30/ twin turbo 3.0 it’ll have to be 2016+ they also did a facelift in 2018+ so if you want the led tail lights and slightly better infotainment system go with 2018+ but mine is a 2017 with a 2018 redsport front bumper so it looks newer and more aggressive
@@josewraps thank you so much
Where did you get the red sport bumper from ?
@@LfQ50 I kid you not bro, Ebay
How much for the low valves
If you’re local I’ll let them go for a steal. I’m located in 209 Norcal
You've added all these upgrades, but left the factory brakes?
I have the big brakes just haven’t put them on. Maybe next week. I’ll post a video when I put them on
You decided to comment but not watch the full video?
What's the issue with factory brakes? I have a Q60 modded as well and I keep the factory ones (not even the big brakes).
@@jz1607 Simple physics, when you add power to your car to go faster, it needs bigger brakes so it negate that power and stop faster.
@@ndenkha That's true but the car is already fast and you can go fast and faster without any mods.
You may need to upgrade the brakes if you go racing. If you only do daily drivings but you always like to have that extra power, you can still keep the OEM which I find good.
Don't forget that barely any of us really go fast on streets, but car enthusiasm forces us to mod our cars anyway
Na I think blow off values can help protect your turbos by releasing pressure. Lmk if I'm wrong tho
That’s why I bought them but I haven’t had any issues by not putting them on so I think I’m going to just sell them
I heard that the stock intakes are actually better than aftermarket. Is this true?
The only one better than stock is the AMS intakes however if you want to keep the stock intakes you can get the bms high blow inlets and it’s just as good
boosted6 makes some 3" intakes, sounds amazing, and kills anything else performance wise, yes better than stock and AMS
@@eddiefierro5037 is there a video on these?
How many revisions until u got more maps
I think it’s like 3 or 4. I don’t remember. I’ll be doing the full process again here pretty soon. Going to be picking up a q60 to build for the channel. Stay tuned for that.
Where did u get that fire steering wheel
Jaliscos cf on IG. I might be selling the wheel soon tho.
@@josewrapslet me know when you’re selling it, i’m willing to buy
How Much Hp Can These Engines Handle? Could They Handle 600 To The Wheel
Yea max I’ve seen is like 700 to the wheel with upgraded turbos
Ok thank you for replying do u have to get it tuned after putting bigger turbos on?
@@RandomPersonbus yes you have to
Is all of this street legal though ?
Who cares 🤣
Redsport?
Base model 3.0 but redsport bumper
are spacers safe?
Hubcentric spacers are safe. I would recommend not stacking spacers tho
Real question is.. where'd you get that cell phone holder and link? Lol
No cap LMFAO
Prolly a magnet holder lol I had one from the brand called scosche magic mount

Thinkin of getting a q50 what’s the best trim model for aftermarket hp
Regular 3.0t non redsport.
@@josewraps why not the red sport? That was the one i was thinking of getting but just not sure what year yet, maybe a 2016-18
@@chrischavez722 if you plan on keeping the engine stock just get a redsport
@@chrischavez722 because once you get it tune you will just have the same hp or more and the luxe is way less than a rs. Just what I’m guessing that’s why.
i have redsport, bone stock and runs well dont really need do anything, accept front n rear sway bars, strut bars and a tune..left suspension stock. i like choice of having normal mode so its soft and cruisy..especially if family in car. only thing been modding are the non mechanical stuff. lights n accessories etc @@chrischavez722

How much for the low valve
@@alexg1390 blow off valves ? They typically go for $500 if you get turbosmart and HKS 6 to $700.. you could find some good used one tho for cheaper
Yes sell them they are bad for the car! Get a hold of Alex from racebox he will tell you
Yea I told him about it and he said it would t affect anything but I’m just going to keep them off and sell them tbh
are you actually getting 18mpg
On e30 I guess yea 🤣🤣 usually it’s higher but sometimes I go crazy and it drops
Is ur car the 3.0 ?
obv it is with the small brakes...
Yes, or were you referring to if it is a redsport or not(which after tuning it doesn't even matter)?
