AMS Performance Red Alpha Auxiliary Intercooler Water Pump Kit – Infiniti Q50 / Q60 VR30DDTT | Non-Red Sport | ALP.28.02.0003-1
Non-Red Sport trim only — this kit is for Q50 and Q60 models with the VR30DDTT that are NOT Red Sport trim. The Red Sport 400 already includes a dual-pump intercooler system from the factory. Confirm your trim level before ordering.
AMS Performance Red Alpha auxiliary intercooler water pump kit for the Infiniti Q50 (2016+) and Q60 (2017+) equipped with the VR30DDTT 3.0L twin-turbo V6, non-Red Sport trim. Adds a second high-flow electric intercooler pump to the factory cooling circuit, replicating the Red Sport’s dual-pump intercooler setup and significantly improving charge air temperature management. 4.7 lbs.
The Problem — Non-Red Sport Intercooler Cooling Deficit
The VR30DDTT uses a water-to-air intercooler system — charge air from the turbos passes through an intercooler core in the intake manifold, cooled by a dedicated coolant loop driven by an electric pump. Infiniti recognised that higher-output applications needed greater cooling capacity and equipped the Red Sport 400 with a second, higher-flow intercooler pump as standard equipment. Non-Red Sport VR30DDTT vehicles — the 300t Sport, 300t Luxe, and equivalent trims — leave the factory with only the single primary pump. Under sustained hard acceleration, repeated runs, or track use, the single-pump system allows charge air temperatures to climb, resulting in power loss from heat soak and increased thermal stress on the engine. The gap between a single-pump and dual-pump setup becomes more pronounced as boost levels and ambient temperatures rise.
The Solution — AMS Red Alpha Dual-Pump Upgrade
AMS Performance’s auxiliary intercooler pump kit adds a second electric pump to the non-Red Sport’s intercooler coolant circuit, matching the Red Sport’s factory dual-pump configuration. The additional pump increases coolant flow volume through the intercooler loop, improving the system’s ability to reject heat from the charge air and maintain lower, more consistent intake air temperatures across repeated pulls and sustained high-load driving. For any non-Red Sport Q50 or Q60 running a tune, upgraded turbos, or any modification that increases charge air heat load, this pump kit is a foundational thermal management upgrade that should precede or accompany the power modification.
Fitment — Non-Red Sport Only
This kit is designed for Infiniti Q50 (2016+) and Q60 (2017+) models equipped with the VR30DDTT and non-Red Sport trim. The Red Sport 400 already has a factory dual-pump setup — this kit does not apply to Red Sport vehicles. Confirm your trim level (check the build sheet or window sticker — Red Sport will be identified as “Red Sport 400”) before ordering.
Non-Red Sport trim only — Red Sport 400 already has dual pumps from factory. Confirm VR30DDTT engine and non-Red Sport trim before ordering. Professional installation recommended — involves intercooler coolant system access. Refer to AMS installation instructions for wiring harness routing and pump mounting. Bleed intercooler coolant loop after installation.
