Hi guys im building my 33 GTR atm, im putting in a Brain crower 2.82 stroker kit in with 87mm bore, ive got Garrett GT2860-5's on the car atm. Its getting the works done to it,

Head ported

Valve springs

Poncams 260 degree

HKS adjustable cam gears

Block bored

Stroker kit

Spitfire coil packs

700cc injectors

044 external pump

Power FC

Z32 AFM's

HKS type R intercooler kit

Apexi intake

3.5inch mines exhaust, Front pipes and tomei dumps with the -5 turbo's.

Pretty much everything engine wise, i might have missed a few things.

My tuner said the -5's wil max out at 350awkw on pump fuel but i want more but dont know if i should take the risk and get the GT2871r -10's because ive read alot about how laggy they are.

The -10's will make 400awkw but at what cost? Will i loose all response and only have a little squirt at the end of the rev range??? Ive herd that with the stroker kit they are much better.

Its a street car but i like to go fast in a straight line, in my tuners opinion with my setup go with the -10's. I would love anyone's opinion on if i should go with the -10's on a 2.8 stroker?

    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
