Why Nissan’s Turbo V6 Engines Are Too Powerful (GT-R and Z)😳| Explained Ep.31

  • If you ask any car enthusiast "What's Nissan’s best engine?", they will more than likely say the RB26 or the SR20, but I will argue that’s false. Its the little V6 called the VR38 nestled in the Nissan GT-R that is Nissan’s greatest accomplishment and arguably the best to ever come out of Japan.

    I still remember when the R35 came out, there was a huge amount of worry that the car relied too much on fancy electronics, and would make tuning next to impossible. And because tuners loved how easy the RB26 was to tune and mod, they were worried and kind of hated the R35 at first because they thought it didn’t deserve to have a GTR name if you couldn’t tune and mod it. Funny how once tuners were able to actually get their hands on the R35, those tuner worries turned out to be nothing to fear and the R35 became one of the best tuning platforms of all time, just like the GTR’s before it.

    I grew up In the 60s & 70s, We didn't have engines that come close to these in HP, I was a mechanic for 30 years, until my 2nd back surgery, a tune-up consisted of, plugs, points, rotor button, condenser, distributor cap, Ignition wires, oil & filter, air cleaner, setting the timing and dwell angle, My Father {R.I.P.} taught me about engines when I was 10 years old, I had some fast cars and some very fast motorcycles, He said when he was young, they put would large engines in small cars, like a 500cI cadillac engine in a studebaker and call It a Studillac.

    To put things in to perspective for many people, I have about about $50,000 into my gtr. I only make 850whp with a fully built transmission, and still on the stock motor. I’m looking at another $30,000+ for the fully built motor and install. Then another 15k for motec to keep everything as safe as possible. Is the gtr amazing yes, but you need deep pockets.

      That's the beauty of a stock GT-R. It'll beat everything out there with NO mods. (Not sure why your modification costs are so high. You can get a stock GT-R, spend around 50k to get 1,000 whp.)

    • @jamiethomas3306
      @jamiethomas3306 3 місяці тому

      @@advicemaster1365Hate to bust your bubble but modifying a GTR is very expensive. I have a 2012 slightly modified to around 740-750hp. With my mods that were on the car before I bought it (just engine wise) upgraded fuel pumps, 1300cc injectors, Synapse 3” intake housing, upgraded blowoff valves, AMS 90mm no cat/ down pipes w/ AMS y pipe, Akrapovic exhaust w/ carbon tailpipe set, Buschur racing flex fuel E85 with Zeitronix digital reader, ECUtek tune w/ boost map up to 20lbs.
      Now just the exhaust system including the AMS piping is $8k and that was in 2014-2015 without labor. The problem modifying the GTR is the transmission. Once you hit a certain threshold of HP your torque will also start increasing. The stock Tran will handle 650lbs of TQ. My launch control has to be set up to launch at 2500rpms not 4k like stock GTRs. So then like the other gentleman he had to go to most likely go to Shepherd and that was 10k at least without installation. So no, $50k won’t get you 1000hp unless you have some major connections and do all the work yourself and then no you still won’t be there!

    The GTR is such an engineering marvel. Always knew it was but its even more so after living with one for a few months now. I love that this video also touches on how the VR came to be, with the VQ in the 4th generation Maxima being a key ancestor, a car which I also have owned for 25 years. We have come full circle. Also, the VQ30DE made 190HP until 2000 when it made 227 with the VQ30DEK. Nowadays, people think of Z/G/Q when you talk about VQs but they tend to forget that it was Maximas that paved the way. So many Maxima builds led the way for those guys and the future builds to really push the boundaries of what the VQ can accomplish.

Vr30 vs the b58, coyote is actually pretty close and have numerous back and forth races. Heck the Vr30 beat the b58 at a race event. The Vr30 didn't have a light weight sports car like the Supra to make the engine seem more impressive. The vr30 is like 3900-4000 pounds so its on the heavier side.

    I think the whole "idle like stock" argument comes down to modern hardware more than the engine design (i.e. Modern ecu, drive by wire, idle control, vcam etc..). The RB26 can idle fine at 1000whp as well as be driveable on the street, its downfall was more primarily the sump design causing twist on the block as well as weak oil pump gears. Outside of that the RB has the same aftermarkert support as the VR38, sounds better and has been a proven performer. I think in the late 90s/early 2000s your argument around the v6 design is valid as it was easier to make torque with more displacement, but in 2023, modern ecu, modern fuelling, responsive turbo techology - i think the RB is on the same level in refinement. Same goes for the 2JZ which the bottom end can support more than the VR38 and the 2j also came with variable cam timing.
    I've done a simple RB28 build on my R34 GTR with a Haltech elite 2500, modern injectors, modern fuelling system, HKS VCAM, pair of turbos and tune, the thing comes on boost at 2500rpm and is killer on the street. Can easily be dailied. Granted im not making 1000hp, but my point is whatever advantages the VR38 had, the RB can have as well..

And totally agreed that the RB is the best naturally sounding JDM engine going full tilt in the red, the LFA engine needed some Yamaha magic to get it's awesome sound.
