anyone know much about these if they know someone using them etc?

thinking about one of these kits when i get me motor rebuilt

Pretty sure the kit is $5500

Have a search for 3.4 stroker and there is a dyno sheet showing difference between 25/30 and same 25 head on 3.4lt

I will be looking into one of these when I upgrade to a GTR

The 3.4 kit is done by Spool import's in QLD

http://www.spoolimports.com/content/RB34DETResults.asp

look's to be a hell of a thing, i've spoken to them and the best bet seem's to be to send them a block and have them do all the work

around 15k for a bullet proof 1600hp, 12000rpm nitto 3.2 bottom end ready for a head to be put on,

id be allowing another 7-10k for a head to be built up to allow flow to get the most out of it.

nearly got a 3.2 myself but something else came up.

the main advantage of the 3.2 nitto to the 3.4 spool is the full counter crank. beter harmonics,

but if youre just building one to rev to stock ~7500rpm, shouldnt have a problem

by parts they listed do you mean the turbo and headwork etc.?

Edited by jangles

by the parts listed it would be about a 15grand bottom end?

then easily about another 10 for the head, turbo and manifolds?

just exploring all options cause i want to do it right the

first time knowing it will handle whatever is chucked at it

if i want more out of it in the future

i know for a fact, from sump to head studs, including head gasket, oil pump, all machining,balancer, everything just needs a head bolted on. assembled its around 15k for the nitto

a decent head is 5-10k, you would need a heavy breathing head to make any decent power,

a turbo for response and power on a 3.2 would probably be a GTX42?

so theres 3500

1300 for manifold

800 for gate

its a 30k affair for it to be done properly

Theres more to it than the counterweights that will make the Nitto better harmonic wise compared to the Spool 3.4 crank. The smaller the throw of the Nitto crank allows for more material overlap between the mains and big ends, which makes the crank stronger when it comes to twisting and also with resisting the effects of harmonic vibrations. See the attached PDF file. Then there is also the material quality used, heat treating and stress relieving processes undertaken during the machining processes. It all contributes to maintaining the strength of the material.

And the rest. There is always the little bits to add on that arent remembered until the engine is in the car. Generally you can add another $5-7K in incidentals alone. Then there is tuning, and the inevitable issues that develop and kinks that need to be worked out that eat away at your savings.

oh shit yeah, i was just giving a minimum.

if you had a 3.2 the torque would break most gearboxes, so a OS gearset would be a requirement at least... probably straight to a PPG or something though.

fuel system, etc etc etc....any engine like that amounts to thousands of unseen dollars

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
