Searching for a high-performance engine replacement or an upgrade option for your build? This used Nissan GT-R engine offers incredible power, durability, and value. Professionally inspected and sourced from low-mileage vehicles, this engine is ready to power your machine with legendary Nissan performance.

Nissan GT-R Engine

This engine is the VR38DETT—a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6—that powers the legendary Nissan GT-R R35. First introduced in 2007, the R35 was Nissan’s triumphant return to the high-performance market, and the VR38DETT engine was at its heart. Built entirely in a climate-controlled cleanroom by Nissan’s elite Takumi engine masters, every unit is hand-assembled with precision and care.

The engine redefined what an affordable supercar could be, giving enthusiasts access to all-wheel-drive stability, twin-turbocharged responsiveness, and highly tunable internals. Thanks to a cast aluminum block, plasma-sprayed cylinder bores, and integrated IHI turbos, the VR38DETT offers both raw power and long-term reliability.

Benefits

  • Cost-Efficient Performance: Buying used allows you to save thousands compared to a new or crate engine, without sacrificing power or quality.
  • Legendary Engineering: Every GT-R engine is hand-assembled, ensuring attention to detail and long-lasting reliability from the factory.
  • Tuning Potential: Easily one of the most tunable engines on the market, capable of reliably handling 600+ HP with bolt-on modifications and tuning.
  • Proven Track Record: This engine has powered countless GT-Rs to track victories and street supremacy around the world.
  • Sustainable Choice: Buying a used engine helps reduce industrial waste and is a more environmentally conscious automotive decision.

Features

  • Twin IHI Turbochargers: Each turbo is integrated with the exhaust manifold for better spool time and more compact packaging.
  • Plasma-Sprayed Cylinder Bores: Replaces traditional cast-iron sleeves with lightweight coatings for reduced friction and better heat transfer.
  • Dual Overhead Cams (DOHC): Ensures optimal valve control and airflow at high RPMs.
  • Integrated Air-to-Liquid Intercooler System: Maintains intake air temperature under boost conditions for more consistent performance.
  • Forged Internals: Pistons, rods, and crankshaft are built to handle extreme pressure and high RPMs.
  • OEM Engine Harness & ECU Compatibility: Makes integration easier for those using the engine in its original or swap applications.

Performance

The VR38DETT delivers a thrilling performance package worthy of its supercar pedigree. Thanks to its twin IHI turbochargers and responsive electronic throttle system, the engine provides near-instant torque delivery with minimal turbo lag. Even in its factory form, this engine enables vehicles to reach 0–60 mph in under 3 seconds, showcasing explosive acceleration that rivals exotic sports cars. Its strong midrange and top-end power ensure the engine remains responsive throughout the RPM range, while the robust internal components, including forged pistons and connecting rods, allow it to withstand aggressive track conditions and extended high-speed driving. The VR38DETT is also known for its tuning potential—capable of supporting substantial power upgrades while maintaining daily drivability and reliability. This engine doesn’t just provide performance—it delivers a driving experience defined by intensity, control, and limitless potential.
