After selling his pristine 900+ wheel horsepower 1994 Supra Turbo Hardtop, Mick (TrakDay) decided it was time to get into an R35. He chose another beautiful example with a pearl white 2015 R35, and of course he couldn't keep it stock for long. With a desire to maintain a somewhat stock sound and not go crazy with the budget, Mick had us plan out a mild selection of aftermarket modifications to up the horsepower on his VR38. We added downpipes, midpipe, 3" intakes, ID1000 injectors, Denso 265lph pumps as well as a speed density conversion and flex fuel kit. The car was calibrated in-house on EcuTek by our tuner Alpha.
With the factory exhaust and factory intercooler still in place, Alpha was able to coax out 589 wheel horsepower on pump gas and 639 wheel horsepower on e85! That was with a standard correction factor applied. Uncorrected, the numbers were 571whp on pump and 621whp on ethanol. Healthy figures for a stock turbo GT-R in the Florida heat!
