Behind the scenes here at AMS we are always working on something, be it a new platform, new parts, services etc.

R35 ALPHA Engine Program: The ALPHA R35 VR38 Billet Short Block.



Many of you are aware we have a very tried and true engine program that has powered most of the worlds fastest R35 GT-R's. Early on we noticed some failing points in the VR38 block and developed some ways to make it a bit stronger. While this has proved to be very effective we know that we can do even more and with the potential for even more power on the horizon we knew we needed an even stronger solution... Enter our new billet block.



I don't need to tell most of you the benefits of a billet block. For those that are not as informed machining any component from a solid piece of billet aluminum allows for an extremely strong piece. The main reason you do not see this as commonplace in the automotive industry is due to the cost associated in making a billet block. Each block is CNC machined from one solid piece of billet aluminum... clearly not the best option for a cost effective mass produced piece. This option is however much stronger than its cast counterpart and for big power quite possibly the strongest option available.



We are still a few months away from our first hard test but I can say this new program is going to endure a trial by fire. Omega will be ready and waiting to put this new block through hell and back. We can't think of a better way to test it's integrity and capabilities then by tossing over 1700whp behind it. This new program will allow our customers all over the world to put an even stronger option in their ALPHA GT-R's and make them even more reliable and powerful.




So stay tuned as this and more products come to light from AMS and ALPHA performance. While we are working with new platforms we are far from done with the R35

 

I'm sure I don't want to know the cost but this is HUGE NEWS! Truly impressive in every way, and will certainly help to push the already incredible R35 tuning boundaries even higher.

I assume this may allow you to get a bit more extreme with displacement options too? Well done.

 

Thanks! We are very excited and looking forward to pushing the R35 program to new extremes with our billet block.

Price?

 

I'm sorry, but we don't have a price set on the block at this time.

If you have to ask its prob outta your budget lol. Jk. Nice to see you guys pushing it to another level. Can't wait to here some results. Should be a huge leap in you perfmance for the future. Good luck and hope it works out!

 

Any updates on the billet block?...~3 months have passed.

 

Sorry for missing this. Work is certainly progressing but when engineering a motor like this it certainly takes some time, a little longer than we would have liked. However the finished product should be better than we had initially expected
