Nismo S-tune S1 engine is a nismo engine , yes its something special, its better than your stock nissan one. nismo made S-tunes for each model. You will notice the middle one is the nismo 400r which possibly utilized a Tuned version of the S-tune engine :) can anyone confirm?

I've seen some GTRs with S1 engines, according to Nismo they have around 400ps which is not all that significant compared to what one can do to increase power. Are they overrated or something special?

I see you're comparing the S1 engine to something alot more 'unstreetable'... are you asking because of the low bang for buck value it seems to have on paper?

The S1 engine are for increased power and torque across the rev range, giving a useable boost in those areas with less stress on the engine. It's a 'street performance upgrade' for GT-Rs (and others) and outright power is not the main focus. Think of it as a higher power RB engine from the Nissan factory, with all the reliability that goes along with it.

Thats not a 400R.

The 400R has a REINIK 2.8 litre engine called RB-X GT2 (N1 block with forged internals etc etc) 400bhp 478nm lazy

S1 is a rebuilt engine with N1 parts has 400bhp 450nm by nismo

R1 is a N1 block with N1 parts has 450bhp 480nm by nismo

F-Sport is a 2.8L engine with GT block and mostly Gt parts like the Z-tune not sure of the power

hope that helps

ps saw a N1 block (new) on Japanese yahoo for A$1400 GT block was A$4500 new on yahoo nice start

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
