AMS 1000WHP R35 GT-R build....lots of pics :) Introduction Video
YouTube - AMS Performance 1,000 HP Nissan GT-R Build Intro
Some 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. A transport is literally as we speak on its way to pick up chucks car for one HELL of a GT-R build. 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.
The preliminary plans are to use our engineering resources to build a custom Twin turbo kit carrying two of our larger Garret Framed Turbo's like the 750R, 850R or 950R. This is a very time consuming and detailed process but in the end we will have not only created a solid turbo kit for Chuck car but as a result a solid twin turbo kit to sell to the GT-R market.

The motor will be addressed too getting the full treatment including sleeving and improving / replacing the entire rotating assembly. We have years of experience building engines. Our motors not only hold great amounts of power but more importantly LAST!! Our Time attack racing EVO VIII Engine so far has held up to over 4 years of full time Track abuse. Our EVO X sleeved motor so far has not only gone a whole season on the same engine but won the Redline time attack Modified AWD Championship!

The big questing you all may be asking of course is transmission....what are we going to do?. Well thanks to the efforts of sponsors and companies we have worked with for years we are WELL underway in sorting out a solid transmission and clutch solution. They are still in the R&D process but this facilities capabilities are nothing short of astonishing and their budget will assist them in not only getting it done but getting it done RIGHT!
The best part of this build is that we will be documenting the process every step of the way. This is not only to keep you up to date on this great build but to show some behind the scenes footage of how AMS works and how capable we are of working on and producing parts for your car. So stay tuned to this thread and get ready for one hell of show

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!
How the car arrived at AMS:
After an hour long meeting I like to call "The AWESOME meeting" lol
We have our plan of attack and team of guys that are going to attack Frank and Chucks car.
We have 30 guys here at AMS and I think a team of no less than 10 are going at these two cars.
I am beyond excited

Chuck your car is now a hovercraft! lol
Ivan has been busy. Your motor is out on the bench. your rear end is out along with the transmission off to the trans shop for work. The cage was cut out of it to build and install a 8.50 cage and possibly chute. Lots of work going on over here....lots of work
The motor will now go back in the car without the oem turbos and will be passed over to our fab guys to begin turbo kit R&D

Some more updates!
At AMS we pride ourselves on making the highest quality and most powerful parts on the market. This does not come easy but thanks to our highly qualified team and state of the art equipment we can make that a reality for any customer. One of the tools we use to achieve this goal is our portable CMM arm (coordinate measurement machine).
Our Romer portable CMM allows us to digitally plot any given area we are working with. By taking the arm and touching key points on the motor and the chassis we can digitally recreate the entire GT-R drivetrain in our CAD software. Why is this important? This allows us to make and design the best part possible using the given space constraints. The end result is a product that fits like stock, lasts the life of the car and produces the most power capable in that given area. Remember all that math in school that you thought you would never use in real life? Well we do
In chuck's case we are using this technology to create quite simply the best turbo kit available for the GT-R!
Here are some pictures of one of our engineers Drew Johnson plotting the GT-R engine bay on Chucks soon to be AMS powered 1000plus WHP GT-R!

Now that we have our digitized data from our portable CMM arm the engineers can begin designing the turbo kit. This is always my favorite part of a project as you can really see our engineers shine in their abilities.
Here are some preliminary CAD images of the digitized GT-R engine bay and the 750R Turbo's placed in their possible areas.
REALLY Cool stuff!!

Because we are not building a hand welded header and casting the pieces instead the hard engineering behind it has been focused in our CAD software. Drew has been spending countless hours trying to design the most optimum kit given our space constraints. So far his work has been nothing short of spectacular!
As you can see the header and wastegate placement are allowing us to get away with designs that would be extremely difficult to obtain with a hand fabricated piece. That coupled with the fact that it will be casted will ensure a power potent and reliable kit for years to come.

Drew finished up the design of the header setup. The end result is pretty remarkable.
Completely equal length
Port matched
Smooth transitions
Ability to access the header to head bolts easily
Cast 304 Stainless steel
This design will also allow GT-R owners to retain their steering rack heat shield
ENJOY!
