  • Product description
  • HKS VR38DETT 4.3L STEP3 Complete Engine - Nissan GT-R (R35)

    The HKS VR38DETT 4.3L STEP3 Complete Engine is a fully assembled high-performance engine designed for the 2008+ Nissan GT-R (R35). Engineered to deliver extreme horsepower and torque while maintaining exceptional long-term reliability, it provides a solid foundation for advanced performance builds and motorsport applications.

    The engine's displacement has been increased to 4.3 liters, delivering significantly higher torque throughout the RPM range while providing greater horsepower potential. The increased displacement, combined with HKS's proven engine components, results in faster engine response and a broader, more usable powerband.

    At the heart of the engine is a CNC-machined billet crankshaft, engineered with an optimized lightweight design to reduce torsional vibration and improve engine response. Forged pistons and forged H-beam connecting rods are built to withstand high boost pressures and extreme engine loads, while reinforced main bearing caps, oversized main stud bolts, and upgraded bearings provide outstanding durability under demanding operating conditions.

    The engine is equipped with HKS high-lift camshafts designed to maximize airflow at high engine speeds, increasing top-end performance. A dedicated VR43 crankshaft damper, co-developed with ATI, minimizes torsional vibration and improves crankshaft stability under high power output. A multi-layer steel head gasket, together with reinforced engine block modifications, ensures maximum sealing performance and long-term reliability.

    The HKS VR38DETT 4.3L STEP3 Complete Engine is engineered to operate at engine speeds of up to 7,400 RPM and is capable of supporting up to 1,000 Nm of torque, depending on the vehicle's turbocharger configuration, supporting components, and engine calibration.

  • Brand
  • HKS In October 1973, two talented and young engineers had a vision; to design and build high performance engines and components that major OE manufacturers could not, or would not, produce. HKS pioneered the Japanese aftermarket industry by delivering a host of exciting new products, including the first commercially available electronic turbo timer and boost controller. Other early products included piggy-back ECUs and sophisticated fuel management tools. HKS was clearly driving performance trends for Japanese vehicles forward!

    Today, HKS is one of the world's most well-known brands and the obvious choice for you who builds a JDM car. In the assortment you will find everything from chassis products to exhaust systems and turbo kits. HKS is behind some of the coolest builds and professional drivers in the world, so when you choose HKS, you choose the best.
