Forge Motorsport induction kit for Nissan R35 GTR

Forge Nissan R35 Induction Kit

The latest kit from Forge Motorsport will be a boon to anyone looking to tune the capable Nissan R35. The latest generation of the perennial super-coupe differs greatly from the launch-spec models, meaning that Forge have had to return to the drawing board to create a new range of tuning products. This intake however, fits every model released so far.

When tuning the GTR, one of the limiting factors to getting above 600 bhp is the diameter of the stock induction pipework. Being fairly restrictive, it doesn’t allow higher power. To counter this, the Forge Nissan R35 GTR intake a uses much larger (80mm) custom aluminium tract for massively improved flow and higher horsepower potential.

These are then topped off by a pair of custom Pipercross filters, to allow unrestricted airflow from the front of the car. The kit works exceptionally well. So well in fact, that it can only be fitted to a car running aftermarket engine management, such as EcuTek, or Cobb. The standard ECU simply gets confused when seeing such high flow rates past the MAF. However, with the right engine management in place and an appropriate exhaust system to balance it out, this kit opens up the R35’s potential to achieve much higher power and torque figures.

Everything needed to fit is included, so all nuts, bolts, washers, hoses and brackets are there – as well as a set of reassuringly comprehensive instructions. The kit is priced at £399.00 + VAT.
