Here are some preliminary CAD images of the digitized GT-R engine bay and the 750R Turbo’s placed in their possible areas.
REALLY Cool stuff!!
Some more updates!
At AMS we pride ourselves on making the highest quality and most powerful parts on the market. This does not come easy but thanks to our highly qualified team and state of the art equipment we can make that a reality for any customer. One of the tools we use to achieve this goal is our portable CMM arm (coordinate measurement machine).
Our Romer portable CMM allows us to digitally plot any given area we are working with. By taking the arm and touching key points on the motor and the chassis we can digitally recreate the entire GT-R drivetrain in our CAD software. Why is this important? This allows us to make and design the best part possible using the given space constraints. The end result is a product that fits like stock, lasts the life of the car and produces the most power capable in that given area. Remember all that math in school that you thought you would never use in real life? Well we do 
In chuck’s case we are using this technology to create quite simply the best turbo kit available for the GT-R!
Here are some pictures of one of our engineers Drew Johnson plotting the GT-R engine bay on Chucks soon to be AMS powered 1000plus WHP GT-R!
Well we are making some good ground over here on Tim’s car. The motor is out and the deatschwerks injectors are installed. The stock turbos are getting swapped as I type with with the upgraded AMS units. The Intercoolers have been removed and replaced with the much larger AMS unit. The stock fuel tank is out and being updated with a very cool dual pump upgrade that installs just like factory. I doubt the dealer will be able to tell we put upgraded pumps in! The big plus is this is that instead of using industry standard walbro pumps we are using a unique pump that looks like stock, flow more fuel and does not have that dreaded walbro fuel pump whine at all.
Also Tim opted to do a little preventative maintenance on his GT-R so we removed his stock transmission and sent it off to Mr John Shepherd for some much needed upgrades. Lots of work going on over here at AMS
Here are some pictures of the progress:
Trans coming out
Brothers Mike and Karl Hugh were bred to play with power, it seems. As young men growing up on an island, doing things correctly for oneself became their ingrained credo. Their adolescent projects – bicycles and dirt bikes – were always the best performing. And that soon set the tone for the BMW tuning hobby they graduated to.
Tim’s car will be used as the foundation for our 800HP package to come. Tim’s car arrived via Exotic Car transport on Saturday and we got cracking on it right away. First thing yesterday morning we did a baseline pull on Tim’s car so we have some solid before and after Dyno numbers for our package.
“The CBRD radiator is a drop in replacement for the OEM GT-R radiator. It provides superior cooling while still fitting the the factory location. The CBRD lightweight racing radiator utilizes the highest quality materials available to us. The goals for the radiator were as follows: More efficient cooling, clearance for big turbo kits and lightweight.. All of these goals were achieved providing an amazing product that is very popular with time attack participants, street cars, and drag racers.”
