Switzer’s 700-HP Nissan GT-R

[EL MAMITO USMC]

well i couldnt find any post like this one so if its a repost , sorry..



Ohio based Switzer Performance Innocation has developed a Nissan GT-R performance package called P700 that supposedly delivers more than 700-HP on 93-octane gas.

Tests so far have shown that the street-legal performance package does infact go beyond the limits of the standard ECU calibration, but 700-HP? For real? Sort of. In the end, with P700 package installed, the SPI Nissan GT-R manages to produce more than 626 all-wheel HP with 383 lb-ft of all-wheel torque. Impressive, but I’d like to see them bump it up just a little bit more.

Switzer’s P700 GTR package should set you back a decent USD $16,650.

SWITZER PRESS RELEASE

Oberlin, OH - 05MAR2009 - Switzer Debuts P700 PKG for Nissan GTR

Comparisons between Porsche’s turbocharged 997 and Nissan’s newest GTR have kept the automotive press pretty busy in recent months – with the general consensus being that the GTR stacks up against Stuttgart’s performance icon pretty well, thank you very much. Now, however – a year after the GTR’s debut – the first tuner GTRs are starting to reach customers … which seems to beg the question: how do these tuned GTRs stack up against tuned Porsches?

Back in January, the thousand horsepower SLEDGEHAMMER 997 introduced the world to Tym Switzer and his Oberlin, Ohio-based tuning firm. With more than 15 years’ experience tuning high-performance cars from Europe and Japan, Switzer is uniquely qualified to answer that question. “Compared to the Porsches, Nissan’s ‘Godzilla’ is a different animal altogether. As an all-weather, four-passenger supercar, the GTR seems like it could appeal to the same kind of audience as the 997, but the GTR is much more of a ‘digital’ type of experience. It’s really amazing how close these cars are, in terms of ultimate performance.”

Switzer would know: for the last few months, Switzer has been carefully studying the GTR, developing a series of sensible, high-performance bolt-ons aimed at producing a streetable GTR performance package that didn’t force GTR owners to sacrifice reliability or drivability.

Called the P700, Switzer’s new package promises more than 700 bulletproof crank horsepower on 93 octane pump gas. “I was always impressed with Nissan’s application of certain technologies. One thing I was not impressed with was the amount of ‘fluff’ parts I was seeing being distributed for the cars or the ‘banzai’ sort of crank-the-boost with 100+ octane racing fuel antics I was seeing in the aftermarket. I knew that it was important to take a look at what the car was reliably capable of, and what was really going on within the platform.”

Switzer’s first step was extensive data-logging and analysis. “We checked for pressure drops, temperature variations, everything. After replacing the stock turbos with application-specific custom units and our own unique MONSTER intercooler package, we slowly dialed up the boost, checking all the data again and again. Eventually, we ended up going beyond the limits of the standard ECU calibrations and hardware, so we built the necessary components and the data-gathering started again.

With more than 626 awhp and 583 lb-ft of awtq on tap, the Switzer P700 GTR is certainly set to deliver a driving experience that is many steps above Nissan’s standard “Godzilla” GTR, without putting unnecessary stress on the GTR’s driveline.

MSRP for Switzer’s P700 GTR performance package is 16650 USD. Contact your Switzer Performance dealer for more information and compatibility with your current aftermarket hardware.

[SullivanRacing06]

hate to say this, but................... id could never see spending 80k + on one of the new gtrs, i have around 10k in a 240 making over 600whp? the new gtr awd system slows it down on the interstate, straight line wise (i live in fla and i75 runs happen every week against bikes) and the new gtr isnt fast, a gun metal one attempted to race me from a 40 about a week ago, not very impressed, but hten again my car dose trap 20+ mph faster then they do

but does your car have all the luxary stuff the GTR does.... i know that there are 240s out there that are faster... but which would you like to drive across country... and yes i would rather drive my hard a** bouncey 240 to

[UneaK]

that is sooo sick

[SullivanRacing06]

haha, i understand the bling bling factor of the new gtr but when a 91 240 goes flying by there 90k "supercar" it makes me smile

It's supposed to be a sports car. If I want luxury I'll get an M45.

duhh!

[SullivanRacing06]

and the last comment about not putting to much stress on the gtr driveline, the stock gtrs blow there trannys out at the stock hp level after repeated launches, id hate to see the owners face after he or she drops 17k on this kit with the owners of the company promising it wount hurt or stress the drive train, when they bring it in to the nissan dealership they bought it from and they see the bill for the transmission replacement bc of a modded or raced car isnt exactly under warranty

[SullivanRacing06]

and sorry but when you beat a new gtr in a 240 that was ment for a desk girl to be driving, not to be modded, i think that well worth not having all the fancy do dads of the newer car

[Brycicles]

wow that is super nice, i wish i could afford one, haha.
