What sets the Billet Long Block for R35 apart?

The T1 Billet Long Block for R35 uses an AMS Performance Pro Series billet block rather than the Nissan casting, which lets T1 take the VR38 past 4.3 liters reliably. T1 Stage 2 Race Heads and the GT1R head gasket system complete the Stage 7 engine.

Why not sleeve the factory block?

More bore on a VR38 requires removing the factory cylinder liners and fitting aftermarket sleeves. T1 has found the factory block less reliable once that is done, so for this displacement it uses the billet block, which gives the strength and rigidity the larger engine needs.

Which cylinder heads does it use?

T1 Stage 2 Race Heads, which are fully rebuilt and CNC ported with a Ferrea valvetrain, and which add custom beryllium copper intake and exhaust valve seats over the Stage 1 heads. They are joined to the block with the proprietary GT1R head gaskets and head studs.

Is a core engine required?

Yes. T1 Race Development asks for a good working core engine with the order. T1 does have options for buyers who cannot supply one, so speak with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering and the team will arrange the details with T1.

What else does the engine need?

An engine of this level needs turbochargers, a fuel system, engine management and a calibration matched to the build, none of which are included with the long block. Bulletproof Automotive can help plan those parts around the engine and the power goal.

Description

T1 Race Development GT1R 4.3L Billet Long Block for R35 Nissan GT-R

T1 Race Development’s GT1R 4.3L Billet Long Block for R35 Nissan GT-R is the Stage 7 engine at the top of T1’s VR38 program, built on an AMS Performance Pro Series billet block in place of the factory casting. That block is what makes the extra displacement possible: T1 takes the VR38 past 4.3 liters, then tops the short block with its Stage 2 Race Heads and GT1R head gasket system.

Why a Billet Block

Adding bore to a VR38 means removing the factory cylinder liners and fitting aftermarket sleeves. T1 has found the factory block less reliable once its liners are replaced. The AMS Pro Series billet block brings the strength and rigidity needed to run more than 4.3 liters reliably, which is why T1 builds this Stage 7 engine around it.

Stage 7 Build

T1’s Stage 7 4.3L specification pairs the billet block with AMS main studs, a GT1R 88 mm crankshaft, GT1R aluminum rods, GT1R Manley pistons and GT1R DLC wrist pins. The CNC ported heads carry Ferrea dual valve springs and 1 mm oversize Ferrea valves, sealed with proprietary GT1R head gaskets and head studs, and the cylinder heads are modified for improved sealing.

Displacement over 4.3 liters
T1 Stage 2 Race Heads with the GT1R head gasket system

About T1 Race Development

T1 Race Development was founded in Texas in 2005 by Tony Palo, whose 2000 Acura Integra GSR became the first eight-second front-wheel-drive street car before the shop turned its attention to the Nissan GT-R. T1 went on to become the first to exceed 230 mph in the half mile in a GT-R and the first to make 2,400 whp from the VR38DETT, and it now develops engines, drivetrain parts and complete builds for the R35 GT-R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi R8.

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.
