Summary, draft#1 + thesis

 

As introduced by Nissan (2024), the VR38DETT engine is a 3.8L high-performance, twin-turbocharged V6 engine renowned for its reliability and performance. Its key features include a bore x stroke of 95.5mm x 88.4mm, a compression ratio of 9.0:1, a direct fuel injection system and a double overhead camshaft with 24 valves. These combinations allow the engine to produce up to 550 horsepower, and 632 Nm of torque. The engine adopts a ladder frame structure to provide the crankshaft with additional support, considering the monstrous torque produced by the engine. To ensure the reliability of the engine, the engine cylinder block and pistons are both made with aluminum for strength and lightness. Additionally, its aluminium block and DOHC 24-valve design enhance both durability and responsiveness, marking it a hallmark of Nissan’s engineering excellence (CarBuzz, n.d.). The VR38DETT engine showcases versatility by accommodating extreme power modifications, maintaining reliability under high-performance conditions, and adapting to various platforms, making it ideal for both Nissan GT-R builds and diverse custom vehicle projects.
