Rb27/ Rb28 Vs Staying Rb26

[Hadouken]

For what it's worth, a 2.8 is still too small.

I was waiting for that.

[Piggaz]

I was waiting for that.

I've said it before.

[Anfanee]

Have a look at what I wrote.

I wasn't going to sit there all night finding the cheapest price around. It all comes down to what product you use. Some may want Argo rods, another guy might use HKS. I'm not going to sit there and price up 20 different combo's.

What I was trying to say was at the end of the day it's not $7000 worth of difference, even if it was, I still wouldn't use a stock throw crank.

For what it's worth, a 2.8 is still too small.

Ahh ok fair enough,

you just decided to throw in the cheapest stroker kit you could see and inflate the prices of rebuilding a standard. To throw the results. Point made.

Lol at 2.8 even being to small.

Apparently street use means nothing. ONLY TRACK!

Lets get onto the non mentioned side of things... Wear and tear...

technically the Stroker kits won't last as long as a standard 2.6......plus the additional wear on other components.

in saying that #gtrlife they will destroy themselves anyway.

[GTR_JOEY]

By the time you get that little bit more wear on the thrust side of a bore from extra stroke it would have either already blown up or require something else done anyway.

The argument of stroker wear is invalid in my opinion

[Hadouken]

But even a built 26 wouldn't last as long as a standard unopened engine.

[Piggaz]

Anfanee. What's wrong with the Tomei kit? It's been in my car for a decade. Price up a nitto, BC, HKS. Choose whatever!

You could go and get the Tomei 2.6 full counter crank for $9k a unit?

Just saw a full 26 bottom end on eBay for $400 and a long nose crank for $90 wonder what capacity Freddy used, he did alright didn't he?

[Hadouken]

Oh jeez. I know I wouldn't be putting that I my car

I didn't say anything was wrong with the kit at all dude. I'm sure the kit is fantastic, i'm a huge fan of tomei stuff.

Nah for that price i'd get the nitto crank for $4600 a unit lololololol

I was just commenting that there is a little more than a 1k difference, and just trying to show the other side of the story.

But i do know where you are coming from, if you include a crank, there is not a huge difference overall.

looking at my receipts from my rebuild....The difference was pretty decent. Though i didn't need a crank.

Also in saying that Nengun have the HKS step zero for under 4k... holy shit! My difference is still over 2k.

But for that price, get the HKS step zero. 100%

@ Hadouken:

Why not? Oh yeah because its a 26 rather than a thrashed out rb30 that needs a rebuild..

Nah I'm still standard 26 here and have no bias.

It's just a $400 block with probably a crack in it and a $90 crank that needs machining anyway if it is in good nick.

[Hadouken]

Oh and I wouldn't put a rb30 in because I like to close my bonnet

[XGTRX]

Yeah I know mate. I am just saying in general the contradictions that exist. Someone buys a thrashed out 30 and builds a forged 26/30 and they are legends, but someone else does the same on 26 and they are tight arses..... Makes me laugh.

[ibrox90]

engine parts are only ever as good as the workshop that screws it together.

I've seen first hand massive dollar equipment hand grenade on first run/dyno pull and on the other hand I have witnessed bone stock unopened motor's that had "claimed" to be built go on to produce over 400wkws for years.

"I BELIEVE THE MAGIC IS IN THE ASSEMBLY "

Proably shouldnt tell you i plan on building this myself then

That crank was listed last week as a doorstop and obviously didn't sell.

I don't doubt the displacement argument but my engine is 2629cc at 87x73.7mm.. If I was going all out with a new N1 bock and stroker is 2738cc at 86

5x77.7mm thats 109cc difference for 7+ grand extra, you'd be nuts to take a virgin block straight to 87mm (assuming for a 2.6 refesh my crank and rods are fine, just new pistons) I would have though improving your VE% by 3 or 4 percent on the 87mm 2.6 with good head work would yeild similar results? If you're going all out, sure do both. But on an assembled 2.6 engine you'd see similar gains with just doing the head work. If I wanted solid grunt I'd be looking at over 3L for sure.

A FULL effort head is not cheap by any means, much more than what the difference is between a 2.6 and 2.8.
