Description

AMS Performance Alpha Red Billet Intake Manifold with Carbon Fiber Plenums and Aux Fuel Rail (12 Injectors) for R35 Nissan GT-R

Nissan GT-R intake manifold from AMS Performance is the Alpha Carbon Fiber Billet unit, a fully CNC-machined billet aluminum manifold with hand-laid carbon fiber plenums, finished in red and designed for the R35 Nissan GT-R (CBA-R35, DBA-R35, EBA-R35, VR38DETT 3.8L V6 twin-turbo, 2008-2025). The AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold delivers power gains across the entire power band, not just at the top end like many competing aftermarket manifolds, producing higher horsepower and torque figures than the leading cast aluminum alternatives from the moment the turbos begin to spool. Constructed from motorsport-grade aircraft-grade epoxy carbon fiber and tested to over 150psi in burst testing, with 144,000 cycles from 0-50psi in a high-temperature environment simulating more than 20 years of typical GT-R use, this is the most rigorously validated Nissan GT-R intake manifold available.

Why the AMS Nissan GT-R Intake Manifold?

The AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold is over 30% lighter than the leading cast aluminum intake manifold, with the weight saving concentrated in the carbon fiber plenums, two separate plenum chambers, one per cylinder bank, meticulously molded and tapered to minimize turbulence and channel charged air efficiently to the CNC-machined aluminum velocity stacks leading into the runners. Dowel locating pins align the upper and lower runner sections with tight tolerances, eliminating the steps and protrusions at the upper-to-lower joint that introduce turbulence in competing manifolds. Dual MAP sensor ports allow bank-to-bank boost pressure monitoring, with extra vacuum ports on the plenums for ancillary systems. The manifold retains PCV function and operates exactly as the stock unit does for everyday drivability. An auxiliary fuel rail for 12 injectors is included, supporting VR38 builds generating over 2,000 horsepower and providing a path to transition from a standard two-rail setup to a three-rail system in the future.

Nissan GT-R Intake Manifold: Construction and Testing

The carbon fiber plenums of the AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold are hand-laid using aircraft-grade epoxies and carbon fiber layering techniques developed in partnership with an aerospace expert, engineered to meet the strength tolerances of key aerospace components. The finalized design underwent 144,000 pressure cycles from 0-50psi in a high-temperature environment before a burst test at over 150psi a testing regime no competing Nissan GT-R intake manifold has undergone. As hand-laid motorsport-grade carbon fiber parts, slight imperfections or weave pattern variances are a natural characteristic of the construction method and are to be expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold improve power across the entire power band? Unlike competing aftermarket manifolds that produce gains primarily at the top end, the AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold delivers higher horsepower and torque from the moment the turbos begin to spool — through the mid-range and all the way to redline. This is achieved through precisely sized and tapered carbon fiber plenums that minimize turbulence and maintain maximum airflow velocity and pressure across all operating conditions.
What testing has the AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold undergone? The AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold has undergone 144,000 pressure cycles from 0-50psi in a high-temperature environment, simulating over 20 years of typical GT-R use, followed by a burst test at over 150psi. No other Nissan GT-R intake manifold on the market has been subjected to an equivalent testing regime.
Does the AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold support 2,000+ horsepower builds? Yes. The included auxiliary fuel rail accommodates 12 injectors 6 per bank providing the fuel supply required to support VR38 builds generating over 2,000 horsepower. This also provides a path to upgrade from a standard two-rail setup to a three-rail system in the future without purchasing a new manifold.
Which fuel rails are compatible with the AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold? AMS/Alpha fuel rails are the only guaranteed-compatible option. Stock factory fuel rails are not compatible with this manifold. Other third-party fuel rail kits may work but cannot be guaranteed by AMS.
Does the AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold retain factory functions? Yes. The AMS Nissan GT-R intake manifold retains PCV function and operates exactly as the stock manifold for everyday drivability. It is also compatible with stock throttle bodies via included adapters, with optional AMS Alpha billet big bore throttle bodies available separately for builds exceeding 800 horsepower.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
