Thread: AMS to build a 1000plus Wheel HP GT-R!

Little bit closer!

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. Because we are not building a hand welded header and casting the pieces instead the hard engineering behind it has been focused in our CAD software. Drew has been spending countless hours trying to design the most optimum kit given our space constraints. So far his work has been nothing short of spectacular!

As you can see the header and wastegate placement are allowing us to get away with designs that would be extremely difficult to obtain with a hand fabricated piece. That coupled with the fact that it will be casted will ensure a power potent and reliable kit for years to come.

Here are some more CAD images courtesy of our engineer Drew Johnson

Drew finished up the design of the header setup. The end result is pretty remarkable.

Completely equal length
Port matched
Smooth transitions
Ability to access the header to head bolts easily
Cast 304 Stainless steel
This design will also allow GT-R owners to retain their steering rack heat shield

ENJOY!

companies like AMS are the reason why I love living in the midwest

Read the article in Top Gear about the mad scientists working on the GT-R's brain. Simply amazing stuff!

The plastic 3D prints of my headers are now complete. Pretty cool stuff.

Just as promised Drew finished up the plastic 3D prints of the new GT-R headers. Here they are installed on the car. The next step will involve installing the motor into the car along with our support brackets and custom manifold heat shields to check final fitment. If all works out then its time to cast!

Starting to get pretty exciting!

AMS has built nothing short of monsters and have always been leading the industry in everything they do, so should be awesome to see how this comes out..

And am I the only Honda lover who used to SWEATTTT their blue Civic Si years ago?.. that thing was a Supra killin' beast..

BEAST MODE.

Wow that design process is amazing - headers are a work of art! Can you say more about the trans yet? PPG? Tilton? Keisler?

Some updated pics of the turbo kit and prototype heat shields.

I have seen a lot of turbo kits in my day but I think this one is officially the coolest kit ever! These heat shields look like something out of Transformers or TRON!

Below are some more updated pictures of the turbo kit with the prototype heat shields. The production shields will not have rivets and will be welded up. This is just a sample.
Also notice the very strong but OEM like integrated turbo support bracket.

Keep in mind the turbo is just a mock up turbo so you will not see any wheels in it

I love this kit!

DAMN CHUCK!
