VR38 RACE SPEC SHORT BLOCK - STAGE 3 - 4.1L 2200HP

The Stage 3 VR38 Extreme Performance Short Block is built for customers pushing the Nissan GT-R R35 platform into serious four-digit horsepower territory, where ultimate strength, durability, and reliability are critical. Designed for extreme boost pressure, aggressive tuning, and sustained high-RPM operation, this fully forged 4.1L short block is engineered to support up to 2200HP with the correct turbo system, fuel setup, and professional calibration.

Stepping beyond Stage 2, Stage 3 introduces the Brian Crower EN40 Billet Crankshaft, significantly increasing bottom-end strength and stability under extreme torque loads. Combined with SZM Spec Italian RP Platinum rods and pistons, ARP CA625+ head studs, upgraded ARP long head studs, and the GT1R 12mm main stud conversion, this package delivers exceptional block rigidity, superior combustion sealing, and unmatched durability for drag racing, roll racing, half-mile competition, and high-boost street builds.

The addition of the chrome moly steel girdle further reinforces the block structure, while the composite head gasket with copper rings ensures maximum sealing performance under the most demanding conditions. This is the ideal foundation for customers running large-frame turbochargers, full ethanol fuel systems, and aggressive race tuning.
