AMS 1000hp GT-R Project

Many of you are familiar with our shop and some of the accomplishments that we have been a part of. Our most notable is most likely our Drag EVO VIII that produces over 1142 AWHP on just race gas and no nitrous (see video below). Well not a day goes by that we don't get requests to build a monster to rival that in each of the markets we deal in. The fact of the matter is that building a car like that is not just expensive but very time consuming. We would much rather work with a customer and partner up to build such a car so that not only are we doing something previously not done but putting a BIG SMILE on a customers face in the process. Thanks to our favorite Admin Chuck H and NAGTROC that is now a reality!


Chuck and AMS have been in talks for a couple months now on working together on the mother of all GT-R builds. Well after a meeting at SEMA this is now a reality. The goal is nothing less than 1000whp and hopefully quite a bit more. using the resources of our 20,000 square foot facility and our 30 staff members we are going to put the screws to Chucks GT-R over the winter and produce a car worthy to stand toe to toe to just about any GT-R out there.

What would be better than a gtr with a giant turbos with 5 second lag times. Would be if they made this a quad turbo setup, a twin sequential. First fed by two smaller ones, then by the two larger ones. Doubt there is the room in the trunk though... or at the very least change it to a single sequential setup.

This is not a honda civic motor they are dealing with. The stock GTR motor is 1.3liters larger than their stroker Evo engine. A full aftermarket exhaust and a ecu tune for race gas will net nearly 600hp to the wheels. Still usable power.

This is a 3.8L engine and they are planning to squeeze a 250-300 hp/liter ratio out of it. Unless they plan on making it rev to 20,000rpm they are going to be using boost pressures and thus increase the turbo size.

LOL badgwhore, let me explain sequential turbos to you. A sequential turbo is where you have 2 turbos in a row, a small one that spools up fast and a large one that takes longer to spool up but puts out more pressure. By using a smaller turbo before the larger one you get boost sooner and are able to spool the bigger one faster. The standard gtr has a non sequential turbo setup where each half of the engine gets a turbo, so that they can use smaller turbo's overall. What I am saying is combining the benefits of both systems. So that you have 2 small turbos feeding into their larger counterparts which each feed into the three cylinders. But apparently I have no clue what I'm talking about. LOL!

*a sequential turbo setup is where you...*

I don't understand turbo setups in the least but this diagram kinda makes me understand. Is this what you are explaining Joe?

Yes, that is exactly what I'm explaining. Now picture that times 2.
