Rb26 Stroker Kits -

32 GTR owner Paul... (heavy stirring/sarcasm).

Be interesting to see how a Racepace GTR goes @ Wakefield in Nov against interstate GTR's, the proof of the pudding might well be in the eating perhaps?

Yea but knowing race pace, you mite as well buy a jap kit, because it will most Likly be cheaper than the gold plated parts u get from race pace

I do believe the point of developing their own is substancially lower the cost compared to say a full HKS kit, which we can all agree is quite exxy

That's a bit low Deano.

Atleast they work... IE the exhausts unlike the junk you get off the shelf from Japan. .

Yea true, but they super expensive dude, $5600 I got quoted for a mild steel 4inch system, plus postage.

That's a lot of cash for a exhaust man.

Thats not a lot of cash that is a joke.

Nothing special about a stroker kit, especially a 2.8... an extra 200cc is exactly that no secrets although it is nice to claim there is so you can claim a premium price!

To the OP, if you were serious I would get in touch with GTRNUR, what he has done with his RB26/30 I believe to be one of the best ways to go.

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah how dare HKS charge such an exorbitant amount for a 2.8l kit when its 200cc

A billet fully counterweight crank is $3-4k (regardless of stroke).. plus rods, plus pistons.

I wouldn't say Japanese exhausts are junk either

[33GTRV]

well, for spool to supply me a stroker kit, and a FULL gasket kit with a tomei HG, oil restrictor and billet oil pump gears it was under 6k delivered to my door. I dunno if i got lucky or i was just charged the normal price, but in my books, thats a pretty sweet deal.

A lot of them advertise 90 mm or whatever but fail to say the smallest point in the muffler is 2.5 inch.

Cut off, weld on 3.5"/4" v-band... done, cost fark all.

Or just go custom to begin with. Sits closer to the body also.

Made where though?

In Asia where HKS have their cranks made... I do believe it's not that high.

Good question... have you been there to know the answer? Or do they still use Farndon in the UK to make crankshafts.

[NXTIME]

Farndon make cranks (and other engine components) for a few Jap co's, such as HKS, JUN and A'Pex'i. I am sure that they still make them for HKS - Step 3 billet cranks; The forged Step 0 to Step 2 aren't made by Farndon. But who knows....could be made in Taiwan or China these days

[Roy]

I know someone running Farndon gear in a Mk1 Escort. Has proven to be a good thing but for a 4 cylinder crank I don't think their 6 cylinder option is going to be any cheaper than other options.

That seams like a pritty sweet deal

Indeed! From what I can gather, HKS RB stroker cranks have been coming out of Asia for quite a while

Whether that's all of the line up, or just some, remains to be seen.

Pretty sure others have said similar before so sounds resonable, although only 2.7 - wish for same $$ there was a 2.8/2.9 - would be even better value.

Means the cranks aren't costing anywhere near 4k either way when you can get that price delivered. Even 3k you'd argue!

[NXTIME]

Roy, Farndon only do the billet stuff for the Japs. Rest are made either in Japan or elsewhere.

What u mean? The spool kits are 2.8 as far as I no

depends on the exhaust right? I got a mate with a HKS Hi-Power and I'm sure it's the same size all through.
