The MCR's power is depending on , Kobayashi-san was experimenting with a little bit more powerful engine set up, the R34's RB26 stroked to 2.8 liters thanks to an HKS Step 3 stroker kit and running HKS GT-RS turbos, bigger than the GT2530s that Mine's have always stuck to. With this configuration the engine was good for 650HP at 7,800 rpm and a massive 520 lb/ft of torque at a rather high 6,100 rpm. Other interesting modifications to the engine was a then brand new Nismo GT plenum, custom turbo outlet and intercooler piping along with a special high-response ARC intercooler. Fueling was supplied by six 720 cc/min injectors in turn fed by a pair of Bosch external fuel pumps. All of this was handled by an HKS F-Con V Pro piggy-back ECU running MAP sensors. Kobayashi-san turned to Nismo for drivetrain upgrades which included a twin plate Copper Mix clutch and a front LSD.
