Nitrous Shot Blows 600 HP GTR Engine

We've heard about the Nissan GT-R's transmission trouble, but how much abuse will the engine take? Not a 150 shot of NOS on top of 600 wheel HP, that's for sure.

Samurai Speed already found the limits of its transmission, blowing that when they attempted a modified-engine, launch control-on, drag start. Now it appears they've found the limits of the engine: 600 HP at the wheels plus an extra 150 HP worth of Nitrous.

What's next for the GT-R-destroying tuner? All forged internals and 1000 HP. We'll see how long that engine holds together.

this is very unfortunate. You should have a good gauge to measure the power and amount of nitrous so that this would never happen again.

Actually, the true story behind it was the engine WAS NOT DESTROYED AT ALL. Quote from Samurai Speed- "It was just the bell housing the exploded from too much torque! We'll get her fixed and back to the track quickly!" It was already updated on their youtube vid. :)
