AMS Product Release AMS Nissan R35 GT-R Alpha Engine Program 3.8l and 4.0l Options

We have finally sat down and finalized our two engine options for the VR38

Option 1: Our 3.8 Forged Engine
Option 2: Our 4.0 Sleeved Big Bore Race Engine

We have successfully applied our race-winning experience to the GT-R’s VR38 to bring you the paramount in engine programs. By developing AMS proprietary engine components we have engineered the strongest, most advanced VR38 available for your GT-R.

3.8 Forged Engine

Big Benefits, No Compromises

To improve the output of your VR38, we raised the compression ratio to increase horsepower throughout the powerband. This increase also produces more low end torque which reduces turbo lag and improves boost response.

The Perfect Combination for Alpha Power

This race proven power plant uses only the best off the shelf and custom designed AMS spec. components. Combine that with the latest in machine and assembly practices and you are assured only the best!

Not Your Standard Off-the-Shelf Rotating Assembly

AMS worked closely with JE Pistons and Manley Rods to specially design engine components worthy of the Alpha program. The AMS Extreme-Duty pistons feature improved oiling characteristics, Teflon coated skirts for reduced friction and extra thick ring lands for added strength. The AMS Extreme-Duty connecting rods utilize large 7/16 ARP 2000 bolts (22% larger than stock) for added durability and peace of mind.

Our Race Winning Experience Creates Higher Standards

To further improve the VR38 platform, each block deck is machined to receive a copper o-ring to establish a better combustion seal. Every Alpha 3.8 Race Engine is then precisely balanced, blueprinted and hand assembled to AMS exacting standards. Before assembly each block is checked for correct dimensions, cylinder bore, mains, block flatness, etc to guarantee you get the best foundation for your new engine.

Features

4.0 Big Bore Sleeved Race Engine

Big Benefits, No Compromises

Our 4.0 liter Big-Bore Race Engine adds displacement but in doing so maintains a great peak RPM capability by increasing bore and not stroke. The result is an increase in power without compromising RPM limitations. With proper tuning and supporting modifications the AMS Alpha 4.0 Race Engine is capable to rev up to over 8,000 RPM!

In addition, we raised the compression ratio to further increase horsepower throughout the powerband. This increase also produces more low end torque which further reduces turbo lag and improves boost response.

By combining a larger bore size with an increased compression ratio we have achieved a 5-10% increase in torque and a 300-400 rpm improvement in turbo spool up time!

The Perfect Combination for Alpha Power

Each block is precisely machined to accept Darton ductile iron sleeves. Once installed the block is then final bored, honed and align honed to ensure perfect clearances and fitment. The finished product allows for higher cylinder pressures and added strength and rigidity to the block.
