R35 Supercharged Twin-Turbo...

[Vuk@AMS]

Been following the R35 scene for quite some time. Since our first test-drive a few months prior to release to the Canadian public (ZNationals 08) we knew the aftermarket would be on the ball. We have several parts of our own including some industry first. I did not imagine an upgrade like this though:



Short blurb from Power Enterprise regarding the debut at Tokyo Auto Salon 2009:

'In detail the OEM turbos send compressed air into the super chargers to generates a monstrous acceleration. The power is moderately generating around 650HP but the low to mid range torque is huge. This is great for time attack and street course race, but it was not designed for Drag raciing.'

We expect a fully developed kit from them as demonstarted by their first PE TT 350Z kit we installed in Canada back in 2003 on a Z with under 1000 km.

Now we'll wait for the aftermarket to develop the internal gears and tranny components as the wheel hop and high hp have taken out a few of these bad-boys! At 18 G's for a tranny from Nissan it is pricey to say the least!

Enjoy!

the engine is pretty damn monstrous. I cant wait to see what A/M parts come out

[relo]

Interesting. I like.

PPG has a fix for the R35GTR gearbox failure problem -

Just need to wait for the 2-4th gear replacement parts.

That is monsterous. Very cool

[C-unit]

oh man..I can't imagine the low end torque with this monster!!!!!

[archaeic_bloke]

ill be the first and admit i dont like it...

#1 im not a fan of V engines at all, i love the genius of the straight 6.
#2 i dont see why the turbos feed the superchargers, it shoudl be the other way around no?? to help eliminate turbo lag? is that not the point? or was that jus a typo?

#3 comme onn.. that thing just does NOT look pretty... look at the RB engines.. they look like a simple yet elegant design... that serpentine belt is hideous, i dont care how much power it makes.

BUT the styling of the new R35 in general is stunning really

Agree 100%

I would love to discrace Nissan by dropping an RB into an R35 if I ever had the coin!!!

I like inline 6's and all, but to replace a 3.8L motor with a ton of mid range power and torque with a much smaller rev happy 2.6 in such a freaking heavy car would just be silly.

Then fit an RB30

Then fit an RB30

I'll still take the VR38 powerband any day. Its only going to get sweeter as more Aftermarket support is available.

[vtec killa]

Hawt .

[Insta_AxE_Toast]

I like the looks of the RB much more. Like others have said the belt if fugly. However as the old saying goes "there is no replacement for ...".

Interesting.

There was article on the Nismo website during testing with the new V6 motor in the JGTCC (now known as SuperGT) R34 chassis. One of the noticeable differences between RB26, V6 was better lateral balance with V6, which made the car faster through corners, even when it was raining. This dropped the laptimes.

But when racing against the V8 powered Supra's, the twin turbo V6 could keep up, but not pass unless the Supra driver overcooked it when exiting a corner.

Then they fitted a Nissan V8 to the new R35GTR SuperGT chassis and has proved to be successful.

Nissan ran a twinturbo V8 in their Lemans racecars that produced up to 800hp+. My pick would be a twinturbo Nissan V8 -

On Nicoforums, one dude managed to get around 446whp at 6psi with a Nissan VH45 V8 -

The N/A 640hp V8 full chassis 1300kg or so Supercars in Australia are slightly faster laptime wise (56-58sec) when compared to a fully built, tubeframe front end RB30 powered R32 Skyline from NZ that runs a 58 second around the same racetrack (Zebra R32) -

There is a full tube frame R32 chassis they are working on at the moment and uses the outerskin only. It is said to weigh around 1000kg with RB26 engine, etc and is going to be road registered.
