R35 GTR vs CLS55

My CLS55 got killed by my friend's GTR with just ECU reflash. I got the jump and kept ahead till 3rd gear where I hit the rev limiter, and after he passed me there was no catching him. He walked me like an M5 walks the E55!

Got a video in quicktime format but its 40mb and I need someone to tell me how to cut it short or resize it. Any volunteers?

I actually want to cut out the last 10 sec of the video, but I will post it first. Can anyone tell me how I can cut it?

Yup, and he had a boost controller installed to hold the boost. He has 2 boost settings: 0.9 bar and 1.1 bar. The one you saw in the video where he beat me was only 0.9 bar!

A flash on a car that is OEM turbocharged generally yields some big gains.

I'm guessing you want to cut the video on account of the song that was playing in the background?? Was that your phone ringing??

Do they know yet what the max boost is for those stock turbos?

According to the HKS agent, they hit maximum efficiency at 1.2bar or so. The turbos are apparently quite small.

It's ok bro. I got radio disney and reggaeton blasting through my speakers all the time so it's understandable. As soon as she's out, it's hard rock or jay-z lol.

So you can basically go from 11.8psi to about 17psi on stock turbos? You're talking a nice fat power bump there.

Then add in some DP's and a full exhaust. Apparently you DO NOT want to mess with the intake side. Dude that's enough for me on a DD.

Comon bro, you know modding is like crack. Once you start theres no stopping. Just goes deeper and deeper. I thought I'd be happy with a stock C6 Z06...but nope ...and on a car like the GT-R...it's begging for some serious power adders. Just wait till all the horsepower junkies get a hold of these things.

But you are correct...as a daily driver, basic boltons and tune should be more than enough. The stock turbos are supposed to be as lag-free as you can get, so it will be perfect for DD applications (and whatever else you want to do with the beast).

At 1.2bar, the stock car with exhaust and ECU reflash should be maxing out at around 580-610hp.

Tell me about it, I have a serious hookup with HKS too, big number discounts. But I just don't want to hack the car up too much. A nice Titanium exhaust is begging to be slapped on that thing.

Jspeed, I definitely agree with those numbers. What an awesome car the GTR makes. Those numbers on a simple tune should be reliable, repeatable, and you'll still be able to flog the living hell out of the car without blowing it up.

Question, when tuned, will it cause certain screens on the MFD to go haywire? Will it detect the upped boost and relay that on screen? This could be a scary way for your SA to figure out that you've tuned the car and rip up your warranty.

580-610hp is not too bad, but it needs bigger turbo's for sure to compete with faster cars. Otherwise, that won't be enough to beat cars like Z06's with bolt-ons, chipped SL65 AMG's, or new Porsche GT2. I'm not even talking about twin-turbo vette's and viper's or 700hp+ Supra's... the poor GTR would get eaten alive by these cars.

How would you go about getting 700-800bhp from these GTR's? Do you need to beef up the internals or will bigger turbo's and some bolt-ons do the trick?
