Good info. Like that you provided draggy numbers as that’s what most of us do currently with so many tracks closing. 3 seconds faster in a 60-130 is 10 bus lengths lol
If i have another year like this year, im probably going to be GTR shopping in 2025. I like your clear cut, concise presentation and im glad i found the video!
Can confirm this, I had a stock engine 2009 with an Alpha 9, shep stage 1.5. Ran it on E30, kept the torque safe at lower rpms and carried to redline, managed a 9.95 1/4 mile at 142 mph, car was solid, zero issues. 5.7 60-130, seems like aftermarket turbos are safer when tuned properly compared to max effort stock turbos that jam all the torque in at the lower rpms to achieve the ho numbers people are looking for. Higher efficiency turbos, more flow with less heat, better wastegates.
Great video and very informative for dispelling myths related to power and reliability on the factory R35 powertrain. I had a 2015 alpha 9 with all of the necessary supporting mods and it reliably made about 860whp and 650wtq on ethanol without any issues. Such a fun setup and infinitely more enjoyable than a normal FBO car. Nice work and I can attest to the strength of a setup like this on a factory engine/transmission!
And just to add, although I didn’t log a ton of miles on this setup (~5k), it was extremely solid for multiple seasons. The new owner is continuing to enjoy the car and hasn’t had any reliability issues. Only thing I ever had to worry about with the R35 was keeping it on a battery tender if it was sitting for more that a week, otherwise it was a very good ownership experience.
also to add theres a guy by the name of izzy performance he has a stook block but with upgraded internals and his MY18 GTR makes 2000 hp and if you don't believe me watch the youtube channel review from Autotopia LA
Great info! Could you do the same for built engine and stage 2 shep trans. Bought my GTR used in this configuration and looking to upgrade the turbos from p800 kit
@@boostcontrolledperformance1523 oh so if you already have the flexfuel system and pumps do I need anything else from a fuel perspective? Apart from just mapping for the bigger turbos.
@@Haoyeren5566 mid to low 6s depending on aggression of tuning. They can make very good power on 93 but ethanol is much safer because it removes the chance of spark knock which will cause cylinder pressure spikes. These spikes are more concerning at higher power levels on stock engine.
What happens is they go to the local dog spot and race Z06, Camaro SS/ZL1, Hellcat, the one guy with the fast ass EVO/STI all have a tire. GTR proceed to lose really bad and he makes the call. We’ve all scene this happen before.
@@gblikesnikes street races have far too many variables for a technical discussion. Which is why we share data that doesn’t lie. R35 vs any other street car, in street trim, is VERY hard to beat on the street if power is unlimited for both cars.

I appreciate how well you articulated the differences and 'why' it works. The draggy times to provide visual differences was great too.

Glad you enjoyed it and saw some value in it! Good luck on your GTR hunt!
This was probably the best and most informative performance parts video I’ve ever seen. I don’t even have a 35, I have a R34 GTR.

nice i need to get into you guys just picked up my first gtr im in way over my head.
Feel free to reach out
Great info as always, thanks for the video!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have a 2020 FBO for 4 years now, super reliable and plenty fast. IF I went to another level, this is as far as I’d go is the 900 level.
@@Superdimensional FBO is great, so is upgraded turbos.
Good stuff.. thanks for sharing Alex 👍🏼 do you do remote phone flashing by any chance?
We are considering offering it based on the convenience. It's an easy add on for any ecutek Master Tuner.
Very informative as a future gtr owner i always thought that over 700hp the transmission needs to be upgraded
Which Exhaust setup is it on the car?

Vr38 is pretty bullet proof when maintained correctly
Agreed. They are incredible, powerful, hand built engines
Great info! Could you do the same for built engine and stage 2 shep trans. Bought my GTR used in this configuration and looking to upgrade the turbos from p800 kit
You would want to see the performance breakdown of a roughly 1000hp car? If so, we have a video for that ! ua-cam.com/video/ADyLgL3erL4/v-deo.html
Wait so what's a FBO on E85 with a 20inch wheel capable of in quarter mile times?
@@racecrashrepeat typically mid to low 10s at around 135mph. Some have snuck into the 9s with perfect conditions.
Very good info so whats in the 900package over and above the FBO?
Tried to cover that in the video but mainly turbo upgrades and some other smaller items that help with fueling.
@@boostcontrolledperformance1523 oh so if you already have the flexfuel system and pumps do I need anything else from a fuel perspective? Apart from just mapping for the bigger turbos.
What BOTL and rpm you running on that car to run 9.8x’s?? I’m on a drag pack with 791whp not coming close to that.
You likely need a better parts combo or a better tuner, we can help with either one. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in either!

@@lancecarter4609 with enough money invested any car can run 9’s.
Are you still using the Cobb access port to tune the GTR platform with all the crap going on with the EPA lawsuit?
We use ecutek because it's superior in pretty much every way.
Good launch and grip on that 9s run! What tyres were on the 20’s?
