Ok new plan. If it does turn out that a high mount single can be made legal, what will support 600AWHP without lag that can be marked on a calendar?

engineering documentation will run you about $1,500 if it is built correctly first time around

Josh has engineered several big single cars so know what needs to be done from the get go to get it over the line. as oppose to building it, and then needing to spend more cash getting it compliant for engineering

one car is a holinger equipped 934whp R32 GTR with a 72 series precision (cant remember exact precision)

Isnt it funny, you speak to 10 peope and you will get 10 different answers to a question.

Spoke to Josh from Galvsport. Came across as a very knowledgable guy. I will be seeing him in about 2 weeks to finalise the plan of attack. He is sudgesting that for my purposes, a stroker kit is a waste of money. I will see more benefit from using better bottom end components and opening up the heads breathing capacity. Made sence when he said it. He also advised me to stya with the low mount twins. Once again, the sheer cost of the conversion and the engineering costgs to make it legal, simply outweigh any benefits. I should b e able to reach my goals from a smart low mount setup and proper engine setup to match. After giving me the idead of the cost difeerence between staying with a 2.6 and going to a stroker kit, I am thingking that I might be better of using the extra change to strengthen gtrs driveline compenents like diffs, clutch sng gearbox.

Will lay out a new plan once I have had a proper chat to him. Thank you every one for your sudgestions. Ihave learnt a huge amount from you guys. If you have any further advice, I am all ears.

Exactly as Pete said.

Machining

Labour to put in and out

Head freshen up

Cams

Bearings

Clutch

Injectors

And the list goes on.

$2-3 k is a drop in the ocean when you're talking about what you're about to do. That dofference falls IF you need a new crank or have to "prepare" your current one.

Might not be anything wrong with a well setup 2.6 but the 2.8 is always going to be better

So go a 30 then. Why skimp out on 200cc on next to nothing,

Rather sell the 26 less what u need, get a 30 get it built and $ to play with. You can get a fully forged and assembled 30 bottom end for 4k which is less than the parts of stroker kit.

Any each to their own I suppose. Choices, choices and more choices. We are pretty blessed to have so many options.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
