Mishimoto Air To Water Intercooler Kit 2023 Plus Nissan Z

Air-to-water intercooler kit Mishimoto Air To Water Intercooler Kit 2023 Plus Nissan Z improves charge-air temperature control for more consistent power delivery and reduced heat soak during sustained turbo operation.

This kit is engineered for the 2023+ Nissan Z and the VR30DDTT twin-turbocharged 3.0L engine, the same powerplant used in the Infiniti Q50/Q60. It replaces or augments the factory cooling arrangement to manage intake temperatures more effectively under load, supporting reliable turbo performance and repeatable power runs.

• Vehicle compatibility: Designed specifically for the 2023+ Nissan Z with the VR30DDTT 3.0L twin-turbo engine (engine shared with Infiniti Q50/Q60).
• Intercooler topology: Uses an air-to-water intercooler approach consistent with the factory twin air-to-water intercooler arrangement to reduce charge-air temps and combat heat soak.
• Thermal management benefit: Air-to-water cooling improves transient and steady-state thermal control of intake charge compared with air-to-air systems in confined engine bays, helping maintain consistent combustion conditions under repeated boost events.
• Brand assurance: Manufactured by Mishimoto, a specialist in thermal management components, providing focused engineering for motorsports-grade cooling solutions.

Why this matters:

• Consistent power delivery: Lower, more stable charge-air temperatures reduce timing retard and risk of detonation under repeated high-load runs.
• Reduced heat soak: The air-to-water design limits intake-temperature rise during back-to-back accelerations, preserving performance for street, track, or spirited driving.
• System-level compatibility: Engine-specific design aligns with the VR30DDTT layout and the vehicle’s existing cooling architecture for a cohesive turbo upgrade path.

Application notes:

• Intended fit: For 2023+ Nissan Z installations; references the VR30DDTT engine family shared with Infiniti Q50/Q60 for platform context.
• Performance orientation: Suited for drivers focused on thermal control and reliability as part of a turbo upgrade or high-performance cooling strategy.
