Ill put my money on the R35

I agree, the R35 motor seems to look superior in each and every way to the RB26. how much power will it handle? we can only wait to find out.

3.8L + 50% more capacity than rb26 = Much better drive and a shitload less lag

The 26 is a great motor, works well but none the less dated.

Cant wait to see this R35 Engines worked, So far we have seen over the 1000hp mark on the 26's... lets see

you can make any engine produce more power than another given enough money. I mean honda made 1.5l F1 engines that made well over 1000hp out of their puny capacity.

mod for mod an R35 is always going to be ahead of the 32. it simply has more goodies to start with. for an all out drag car neither will be as good as most hardcore toranas out there. so that comparison is kind of useless.

The answer is the driver/owner with the most money.

If you want a logical breakdown of it...the VR38 has more potential than the RB26 as an engine. But the R32 will come up trumps in a drag race assuming unlimited money/modifications simply because it's a smaller/lighter chassis than the R35. Weight means much more in drag racing than engine displacement and power because there's only so much you can do with the weight of a vehicle - power is only limited to your bank account and there is a point you get to where more of it doesn't equal a faster time because of various reasons, traction being one of them. There's nothing incredible about the VR38, beyond being a Nissan engine...it's the rest of the car that makes it work so well.

99% of us here know a rb26 can make over 1000hp, lol what are you trying to prove, personally im getting the feeling you dont know much at all bout rb's.....

I no f*k all... ive just seen and heard things, when something pops into my head i ask the question LOL I just want to get my questions answered instead of searching around for shit i post it up :P

Nice Answer! Cleared up my questions thanks

But the VR38DETT is an incredible engine, straight out from factory (stock), the R35 GTR is violently fast down the track, for response, low down, mid range to top end.

It can easily take on highly modified RB26's while the VR38DETT is still stock.

Best Motoring did a "Generations Battle" at Tsukuba Circuit, where the R35 GTR was put up against highly modified GTR's.

Bee*Racing R32 GTR (295 kW)

vs

Hosaka Tuning Factory R33 GTR (441 kW)

vs

MCR (Matchless Crowed Racing) R34 GTR (441 kW)

vs

Nissan R35 GTR (360 kW, Stock)

The finish times:

1'02"442 - R34 GTR

1'02"674 - R33 GTR

1'02"692 - R35 GTR

1'02"751 - R32 GTR

As Birds said, the only let down is the weight of the R35 GTR.

As for tuned R35 vs tuned R32, if both were tuned for equal in power and weight, it would be a very close race.

In theory, I still see the R35 GTR having a slight advantage due to it's Wider Wheel Base, giving it more stability on the track.

Wow to see them all in the same second time with all the diff KW outage.Strange i would think almost 100kw diff at the wheels is a HUGE difference in speed. And the 295kw R32 I dont really consider HIGHLY modified, I thought the r35 stock was about 320kw Stock standard?? but anyway thats Interesting Thanks for that i would of loved to see that race!

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
