Fuck the haters: HKS GT570 Nissan GT-R Makes 559 HP At The Wheels

[Mook]

Plenty of tuning options for the Nissan GT-R are popping up, but few are as appealing as this HKS GT570 power upgrade. The standard GT-R is rated at 480 HP, but this kit is supposed to up that to just over 570 HP at the flywheel by way of a new exhaust, intake pipe kit, boost controller and wastegate actuators. A shop in Hong Kong decided to find out for themselves, so they installed one of the HKS kits, strapped the car to a dyno, and ended up with a reading of about 559 HP at the wheels. Considering that you expect 10-15% of the power at the flywheel to be lost in the drivetrain on most cars, that's an astonishing result. Either the GT-R's drivetrain is stupidly efficient, the HKS kit is underrated, or perhaps a bit of both.

Power tools and long weekend. Im sure plenty of people would help. Someone has to make parts to help the conversion go easier.

Heaven help us when they find the limits of that turbo, then try to fab up some bigger ones. They have the turbos integrated into the manifolds i remember. That could take some doing, unless they make some sick headers.

depends how much room they leave for bigger setups....the srt4s had the turbos integrated into the manifolds but you could easily move into something bigger...nissan was pretty adamant that the engine was maxed....boy they were wrong
