PURE Turbos PURE1000 Turbo Upgrade 2009-2024 Nissan GT-R R35

The VR38DETT in the R35 GT-R is one of the strongest engines PURE works with, and its factory turbos are the main thing between a tuned car and four-digit power. The PURE1000 rebuilds both of them on the Nissan housings with much larger, more efficient wheels. PURE rates it at more than 1,000 wheel horsepower with fuel, supporting mods and a custom tune. Price is for the pair.

What PURE changes inside

PURE fits a billet compressor wheel and a high-flow turbine wheel sized for the VR38DETT, then upgrades the center housing rotating assembly (CHRA) to handle the higher shaft speed and boost. Every unit is balanced on a VSR high-speed balancer before it ships. The factory compressor and turbine housings are kept, so the turbos mount in the factory location and work with the factory plumbing and heat shielding, with no cutting or fabrication.

How the core charge works

PURE builds this upgrade from a factory turbocharger core, so you choose how to supply one when you order:

• Send in your turbos first (no deposit): you ship your factory turbos to PURE, they are rebuilt to this spec and shipped back. You pay only the upgrade price.
• Pay a refundable core deposit: PURE ships a finished upgrade from stock right away. The deposit shown in the option name is added to the price, and it is refunded in full when PURE receives your old turbos in rebuildable condition within 60 days of delivery.

Before you ship a core, remove the oil lines, coolant lines, actuators and inlets. Cores that arrive damaged or incomplete may not get the full refund, so call us before you send one if you are unsure.

You can also choose whether to add upgraded internal wastegate actuators; the option name shows the added cost.

Warranty and use

PURE backs its turbo upgrades with a limited 1-year, unlimited-mile warranty. A custom ECU tune is required, and the warranty assumes a qualified tuner and installer. This part is for off-road and competition use only and is not legal for street use in California or other states with similar emissions rules.
