That it does.

Gearing such as close ratio boxes and holingers n diff ratios make a huge difference in how the car comes onto power. Example CRDs JUN and powertunes r34 gtr. But like you say Ash. Some people don't understand.

Rb30's also love to rev if built right. Ask RIPS. he take a dirty 30 to 9-10k rpm without a fuss. It's just not needed in most cases because of the extra torque they make.

As for the to4z maybe it gets the job done. But today there are better options!

I love the idea of going through 5 gears getting out my driveway. ..

I have one of these kits in my R34 (not rb26, it's a gtt)

Note their kit which they market as being 25 or 26 compatible didn't come with pistons that suit the Neo head. I realise this thread is referring to the 26 but worth mentioning for anyone who uses the search feature in the future. I'm sure wherever you get it from can supply pistons to suit but I would definitely ask/confirm/double check/triple confirm before you order to be 700% sure to avoid drama.

Hmm well I'm in the process of deciding to go stroker. I've heard things about mixing up the components from a step 1 and step 2 hks 2.8l kit. Or I will just dump my car at race pace and tell them exactly what is recommended based on my application/intended use. Interesting to see how 2.9 functions from a 2.8.

I'm sure Chris will sort it out one way or another. Last time I spoke to him, he was doing his own 2.8 kit which I believe is in his car right now. As far as the 2.9 goes, these things need all the stroke they can get. Every little bit counts! An extra 1.3 mm is an extra 32.5% more stroke than going from a 2.6 to a "2.8" kit. Bring it on I say :D

Thanks guys , I think I will be getting this, Speaking of the powertunes R34 gtr , spoke to the guys there who speak highly of BC obviously as they sell it but that GTR is reliable uses B C stroker makes over 1000hp been doing it for 3 yrs been driven heaps even gets street driven and no issues what so ever.

I also spoke to a few other people who have used his stuff with good comments and no issue, read a few posts of ppl who speak highly of them, I will use a new N1 block as a base, strengthen it everyway possible, do lots of headwork, should be good. Will do some more homework offcourse It is not going to be a rushed thing.

Cheers.

The bc stuff I do hear good things about.

Dont quote me but im sure boost logic are using at least one of their cranks in a 7 sec supra. Will have to find the build again to be 100% sure.

But plenty of guys using them in 2jz's stateside at more than 1000hp with no failures that I have heard of.

You either need a shorter driveway or think about parking half way down....

The powertune guys seem to know whats what when it comes to bc and rb's. Best of luck with your engine building mate.

Just thinking about it gets me all excited to do this a lot faster! I guess you've lived and breathed 2.8's far too long ey Piggy? Chris knows his stuff, I'll let him do the hard work lol

Haha. Well the difference in drive ability and twist between a 2.6 and 2.8 is night and day, lets not even go to a 3.0 or bigger. It baffles me that anyone would consider using a standard stroke length crank when you have it all apart. I realise its more exxy but you get a much better result.

If I didn't have my stroker crank and block, it'll be bigger without hesitation.

Yea I get what you mean, if my engine was apart I would have my engine bored and longer stroke length. The results are just more crisp and can do so much more. Want to chuck some -5's on there with 25-26psi on E85 and aim for high 400's

    • Meanwhile, 20+ years ago, I pulled out the 105mm hole saw and went straight down through the inner guard in front of the airbox to get my stormwater pipe cold air intake in. Right behind the two stock holes for the intercooler pipes. Those have no reinforcement (apart from a couple of robust pieces of steel pipe through them!). I feel that the Australian vehicle standards crews put way too much emphasis on "maintaining the crash performance" of cars and not enough consideration of "any crash is a new and wonderful experiment with a random selection of parameters and you will never be able to tell if an extra 80mm hole through some sheet metal caused a significant difference...but if you close your eyes and squint at the whole structure, engage your engineering brain and have a good think about it, you'd have to expect that it would do jack all."
    • You guys are focussing on the wrong part of this post and have headed off on an irrelevant tangent!  Clearly I'm not going to put my most prized physical possession (well it will be once I'm finished it...) on a piece of shit contraption that might fail and crush me or my car!  At no point was that even implied I was trying to buy a butchered P.O.S that some shonky clown had thrown together with a gasless MIG....  Either way I would love to see the build quality of a rotisserie that has failed.  Actually I'd love to see a photo of one that has failed full stop.  Google fails to deliver.  Never happened?? I'll either make one that won't fail or will buy one that wouldn't fail! End Post.....
    • Yeah, if you can't breathe for more than about 2 minutes, you're cooked.
    • Well, all the power should be getting dissipated across the starter motor. Therefore, ideally, the voltage drop across the earth lead should be convincingly close to zero. Certainly you'd want it to be only a volt or so at max, because otherwise that volt doesn't turn up at the starter to do what is required. A car can probably survive a bad enough earth to crank and start with only 9V or so at the starter motor, maybe even a bit less. But you're seeing only 8V at the battery terminals when cranking, so there can't even be that much available over at the starter, which simply won't do. I would have thought that you couldn't pull enough current (with a healthy starter) to make the battery drop to 8V locally. But I was ignoring the possibility that the starter is in fact crook. If it has shorted windings (or maybe the solenoid is borked and shorting to earth) then I guess it could pull a stack of current and not even look like wanting to turn over. So follow the other boys' reccos too. Because they are just as likely at this point.  
    • Depending where the whole gets drilled, and what country/state you're talking about, quite likely not.   Under ole vehicle mod rules in NSW, VSI06 allowed for drilling of holes in "non structural" areas. So you could drill a hole through the inner guard, and not need engineering. You couldn't drill over seams, and it was advised to add extra reinforcing around the hole, as well as something to protect from sharp edges.   Again, it's all about finding the documentation for where the mod is to be done, AND then being able to explain the situation, with the documentation as to why you don't need engineering, with a positive attitude, to any one of the likes eg, police, vehicle inspector, etc.
