what about twin hks 3037s. How bad would the lag be on a HKS Step 3 2.8l.

Dude... i give you a tip... just slow down and take your hands off the keyboard and read :)

The last few days you've started some threads with ideas that are getting more and more far fetched as you go. Each thread attracting another 10-15k ontop of the first one which makes you seem as if your a 16yr old kid with "high hopes"

1) 500awhp RB26

2) A 350Z with an RB26 & 4WD running gear

3) 2.8ltr strokers and V-Cams in an all-out setup with 3037's

Just slow down, and do some of your own reasearch please. There is oodles of info here.

Asking blind questions without even an idea of what your asking one after another after another is not going to achieve anything and is a sure-fire way to having your threads locked by me or someone else.

Its great to have ideas, more the better, however there is enough information in the world and especially on this forum.

Please take heed of the advice.

Set a budget first and go from there

Cheers.

also, if you really do have this kind of coin to throw at a car, why not think about the OS Giken rb30?

You do realise the smaller capacity RB26s are king of the dyno charts in Japan? Also, 8000RPM isn't as fun as 11000 :)

who really wants to be a mega-gay dyno queen? come on dude, ur seriously not as soft as that :)

and the os rb30's have no drama's revving to 9000rpm

I understand what everyones saying. I did start a couple of threads. The 350z with the rb26dett awd is a dream car and i was jsut trying to see what everyone says. If that plan doesnt go through which it most likely isnt i will defintley be swapping a rb26dett into my 240sx. However im not going to go that crazy on the motor then. If i did the 350z swap then i would get the hks step 3 2.8l and the V-Cam. I do have the loot. I have about 20k to spend.

furhter more to that post above, i dug up an old dyno graph i have.

it had better be 20K english pounds...

lol Shane :)

Shabib - your going to need a LOT more than 20k make.

The stroker kit alone is almost half of that before you even put it together an purchase any other parts at all which comes to probably another 15k

lol i dont necessarily have to get the hks step 3 2.8l. Thats why ive been asking about the tomei 2.8l stroker kit and how much hp it can hold and how high it can rev. Its about 2k cheaper than then the hks kit.

well I'm assuming you are in the states, but even 20K USD is a long way off building the type of car you are talking about. it's not just a matter of buying a 2.8kit, a T04Z and a V-cam and then ships ahoy matey. you will need all new pulleys, harmonic balancer, prepped N1 block, complete re-done head (try buying 24 titanium valves, double valve sprins, retainers, cams, guides and then having it put together) if you want big HP and big RPM, and you want it to last more than a few passes you will need the BEST of everything. add to that a quad plate clutch, a dog gear set (or would sir prefer hollinger sequential at $22K AUD?), then add your new intercooler (cost $2.5K AUD alone), new radiator, twin oil coolers, diff cooler, trans cooler, bearings, gaskets, engine assembley, ignition system, ecu (i'd suggest motec for this set-up), injectors, fuel system (twin pumps, surge tank, all new lines both return and feed, twin feed rail, fuel reg etc). let's do the oil control. you'll need custom dry sump set-up with at least a 4 stage pump, boot mounted tank (with warmer) and all plumbed up properly. then full custom exhaust and intake piping, since we have come this far let's make it titanium as well. now you will need some nice wheels to go with your $80K set-up and some tyres to go on them. and don't forget the rest of your car is still standard and looking like crap. so lets throw in $10K on body work (conservative), and around $5K on suspension. then leave $6K for brakes so you can actually stop. now you are going to run your 900hp GTR (or whatever car it is today) at 12,000rpm on the street, so you had better be prepared for regular check-ups and inspections. may as well lease a workshop for a year, and hire your own private mechanic as there will be a years work to do building your car for one man no problem.

$20K USD will buy you fck all on that list.

    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
    • I leant out the window recently and took a picture of this new WRX. It looked real damn fine in person. It's faster around a track (stock) than a (stock) GR Yaris. It's much more practical despite being heavier. It's significantly cheaper. This gen tunes really well, much better than others. .... I think they're probably a lot better than people expect.
    • WRXs are a pure pleb boring car these days. You need to get an STI to even get close to what a WRX used to be.
