Battleship Grey Gallardo gets upgraded by Titan Motorsports.

August 15th, 2013 Comments off


Chris is no stranger to exotics, having owned a number of unique sport cars and even other Lamborghinis before his current purchase, this Sinister Gunmetal Gallardo. The car was delivered straight to our shop in great shape, already wearing a set of ADV1 wheels, it needed only minor maintenance and a check over. It didn’t take long for the customization bug to bite, and a list of upgrades were laid out to make this Gallardo a real head turner. The calipers were treated to a coat of super bright Chartreuse Neon before the Lamborghini logos got stenciled in black. The bright color makes the calipers stand out behind the battleship gray ADV1 Wheels and really give the car an aggressive look. With the exterior upgrades complete the car needed a bit more power and sound to match its loud persona on the outside. Not quite ready for one of our twin turbo kits, we opted for our Stage1 NA upgrade. The kit includes a custom exhaust manufactured in house here at Titan with a straight flow design and high flow cats, upgraded filters enclosed in a carbon fiber air box, and a custom ECU and E-Gear tune designed to not only increase power, but let the V10 sound be heard loud and clear for curious onlookers. I’m sure this won’t be the last we see of this beautiful Gallardo, as the next round of modifications area already in the works, but for now Chris wants to enjoy it in its current form.


Titan Motorsports developing Billet Nissan GTR VR38 Engine Block

August 7th, 2013 Comments off


As we continue the build of our in house Copper development GTR, we continue to push the envelope with the hard parts that will encompass the engine and true heart of the build. With the success of our Titan Motorsports CNC head program and head and main studs, our attention has shifted to the lower end of the engine. Our development partners have already found great success with our Titan Motorsports stroker kit, and wanting to give them the tools to push further we began development of a full CNC block. The blocks have been designed to accommodate Darton MID sleeves that will have bores available to 100mm. The area surrounding the head studs has also been engineered to allow for additional material around the threads to beef up this crucial area.

Featuring a 2 piece design, the bottom girdle portion is machined from 7075-T6 Alloy that has been hard anodized black. The upper portion of the block will be machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum. The block has already been CAD rendered and the first raw materials have arrived and wait machining. We anticipate the completed product to be in our hands in the next 2-3 months for initial real world testing before being released to the general public.

Custom Ordered Titan Motorsports Bolt In Roll Bar for Nissan GTR

August 1st, 2013 Comments off

When we originally designed our Titan Motorsports Nissan GTR roll bar, our goals were to produce a versatile bar that would fit most consumers needs without requiring permanent modifications to the vehicle. Our standard bars fit the needs of most consumers and continue to be popular, however occasionally we’ll have special requests and do our best to work around our customers needs. A customer contacted us letting us know that he loved the bar, but wanted something he could still have access to the backseat when he wasn’t worried about going to the track. Our fabrication department was able to honor this customers request by incorporating a removable harness bar into the design that can be easily bolted and unbolted using a single bolt per side. Unlike our competition these bars are fabricated 100% in house here at Titan Motorsports using custom jigs and a state of the art computer control bender making sure all bends are precise and tight fitting to the car. Not outsourcing gives us complete control of the entire production allowing us to customize roll bars to the customers needs, from attachment options like this bar, to custom colors in quick order. We also have the ability to build complete chassis and weld in systems for the GTR and any other vehicle, and will be working on a 6 point weld-in mail order kit to be released in the near future for those GTR owners looking to equip their primarily track only cars with roll bars.

Alberts Gunmetal GTR on Vossen wheels gets a Titan Power Upgrade

August 1st, 2013 Comments off

Albert brought his beautiful 2009 Gunmetal GTR in for basic upgrades in hopes of a bit more reliable horsepower. The car arrived rolling on a set of Vossen VVS CV3 in 22″ fitment giving,a fitment we don’t see very often here at Titan but the bulky lines of the GTR helped give it a nice stance. For this car we opted for the new and improved Speed By Design exhaust which features a new revised muffler design to limit drone and carbon fiber exhaust tips. Speed By Design downpipes, mid pipes and intakes were also installed to allow the engine to process air more efficiently. A Cobb Accessport with Titan Motorsports tuning allows the engine to put this additional airflow to use, giving the car a nice increase in power in excess of 70-80hp. If you’ve got a GTR and are looking for an increase in power, we’ve got you covered at Titan Motorsports, from basic bolt ons to full blown race builds.
