I am in the process of buiding a RB28 or a RB26 engine and Hi Octane racing offers a engine building kit called "RB28 Complete Stroker Kit For RB26". The kit has the following:
TOMEI Forged 8 Counter Crankshaft
TOMEI Forged Piston Kit
TOMEI Forged H-Beam Conrod
TOMEI Oil Jet Spacer
The kit retails for $8409.
I am aiming for 1000hp+ region. Planning on running a HKS T51 SPL or a Garrett GT 60 turbo.
Hi Octane Racing also offers the following kit called "Option 1 Hi Octane racing RB26 Engine Kit" and the kit has the following:
Vernolia Forged Pistons
REV I-Beam Conrods
Tomei Metal Manifold Gasket Kit
Hi Octane Rocket Cover Baffles
Nissan N1 Ring Set
Nissan Engine Gasket Kit
Tomei Sump Baffle
Tomei Poncam Set
Tomei Adjustable Pulley set
This kit retails for $5999.
Which of the above is more value for money?
If I supply the above to a workshop (ie CRD), roughly how much would they charge to put it all together and tune the engine? I will supply the intercooler, oil pump, fuel pumps etc.
Advice given would be much appreciated.
