On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago and Randy Pobst head to the
track with the most extreme GTR yet, the 2014 GTR Track Pack. Unlike in
previous years, the 2014 GT-R does not receive any power or torque
upgrades, so its 3.8-liter twin-turbo V-6 produces the same 545
horsepower and 463 lb-ft of torque as it did in 2013. That's not to say
that Nissan left the VQ38DETT alone -- the engine receives new injectors
that provide more torque on the high side of the rev range and an oil
pan baffle that stabilizes oil behavior and pressure when the car is
being driven hard. The six-speed, twin-clutch gearbox and Atessa
all-wheel-drive system remain unchanged.
