Not that long ago ALPHA 9 equipped Operation Agent Orange went up for sale. It was not on the market long and a lucky Chicago Resident snatched it up and QUICK! Upon delivery of the car the new owner had a ton of Audio and interior work done to the car. In addition he contacted us for a an ALPHA 10 conversion and a 93 octane tune.

The results were GREAT and I'll get to that in a minute for now lets walk you though some of he build pictures



The car was kept in pristine condition by the new owner and a really impressive Audio system and interior treatment was added to the car:








It's time to pull the engine. With an AMS 3.8 liter race motor already installed this new owner just needed our ALPHA 10 turbo kit along with some fuel system enhancements.








Old ALPHA 9 turbos in great shape!





The new ALPHA 10 turbo hardware ready to be installed.







ALPHA 10 turbo kit going together very nicely!

















Ready to reinstall the updated power plant!








During the install we took the opportunity to test fit our new fuel rail kit for the GT-R. As the engineers promised it fit like a glove. More info on this product soon to come!






The motor in IN and ready to hit the dyno!






Pictures really do this paint no justice! The car just GLOWS!!!







And now on to the dyno numbers. We knew the ALPHA 10 on the 3.8 was a great match. What really surprised us on this build was the amount of power and how fast this kit spools!!!!! on the street this car is making peak torque at right about 4000RPM! This is a mid 9 second capable street car in full street trim. I see a lot of cars come through here that I sit back and say "wow that would be one hell of a car to own" This setup officially tops that list!

Final numbers:
843 Wheel horsepower

Based on a 15% drivetrain loss that puts the ALPHA 10 at nearly 1000HP at the engine on 93 octane!!!!!

 

This car looks amazing. Nice balance of performance + comfort mods too.

 

Stock GT-R vs ALPHA 10 GT-R

At 5000 Rpm the ALPHA 10 car is making 280ft lbs of torque more than the Stock GT-R. Spool is AMAZING on this kit

Look at the difference in RPM capability too with the ALPHA 10 spinning to 8K and making peak HP at 8K!!!!

One of the nicest GTRs out there

 

The customer requested that we also do a tune on race gas. The clutch currently in the not rated for much more torque than we are currently making on 93 octane so we were limited on how much power and torque we could make.

To our surprise the Dodson super stock clutch took quite a bit. We were able to run it to 30psi on VP MS109E unleaded race gas and make 1004WHP.

Here are some Dyno Charts

The first is this particular ALPHA 10 GT-R on pump gas and Race gas.

The second is the same set of charts laid over a stock GT-R






We should have one very happy customer coming to pick this GT-R up today

Those numbers are very impressive! Awesome documentation of the entire build! Great job AMS!
