A performance enhancement package designed specifically for the Nissan GT-R (R35) model, this collection of components replaces or augments the factory-installed turbochargers. The purpose is to increase engine power output. This typically involves larger turbochargers, improved intercoolers, and supporting hardware like wastegates, boost controllers, and potentially upgraded fuel injectors.
The significance of these upgrades lies in their ability to unlock a higher performance ceiling for the GT-R. The factory turbochargers, while capable, have limitations in airflow at higher engine speeds. Replacing them with larger units allows for increased air intake, leading to greater combustion efficiency and consequently, amplified horsepower and torque. This results in improved acceleration, faster lap times, and a more aggressive driving experience. Historically, the aftermarket for GT-R performance modifications has been substantial, reflecting the vehicle’s popularity and inherent tuning potential.
