Rb27/ Rb28 Vs Staying Rb26

Having been in a v cam 2.6, it would be about equal from 3500 ish compared to a 2.8. From the basement you can't hide cubes/stroke.

* very rough figures though.

There will be a comparison between the 2.6/v cam vs 2.8 using exactly the same turbo soon enough.

They are still talking about Stroker Vs 26, they just do not agree. Hit him with your hand bag Joey :domokun:

I think Joey has been in enough different Rs to make an educated statement about strokers Vs 26, just do not get Piggaz started on strokers Vs 26 :woot: ​. Have a look at Piggaz car, stroker and a worked head.

From what I can work out , you like them or you don't , you like to rev them hard or you would rather have your car working earlier. It seems you can do this with both with the right mods, but I would imagine that with extra CCs a stroker has to be a little better.

Cutty, ask a few of these blokes if you can get a run in their cars. From my limited experience Dynos look impressive but until you drive them you do not get the full impact of how the car drives on the "street".

Cheers Pete,

Considering my first reply was a legitimate one, I can't help if people want to reply in that manner.

Anyway, I actually hate this expression but it does ring truth

"There's no replacement for displacement", seems these days more and more people are going stroker kits

For a bloke that has never driven a stroker, you know a lot about the advantages of them, how they drive, blah blah.

Farken 2.6L junk. Bin it.

It has nothing to do with peak power. How can having more low to mid range twist be considered a bad thing?

A 28 is to a 30 what a 26 is to a 28

.... about...... Not rocket science is it. I have driven enough 30s in my time.

My LS2 had twist from idle and a found that as boring as shit, unless burnouts of course.

Mid range twist is for lazy c%&$ who want to brag about how fat their dyno sheets are so they don't have to change gears...... Suggestion...... Get an auto.

You guys are funny.

Can't wait for my TO4z setup to be on the road so I can thrash the f#@k out of it.

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
