Which Stroker Kit? R32 Gtr Rb26Dett

[HarrisRacing]

I know it's been asked and I'm looking, but the search returns quite a pissing match.

I just ran into a serious issue with the bottom end. Crank is trashed. Bent .014" out at the center journal and goes down from there right where I marked the crank. All the mains were trashed and it spun rod bearings 5 and 6. More information on my build here: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/447384-r32-gtr-build-in-usa/

I am moving QUICKLY on my build and I don't want to wait to order such a long lead item like a stroker kit but if I'm paying for a crankshaft I might as well get a good one!

Anyway, can anyone tell me any +/- on the Tomei and the Brian Crower stroker kits?

My build will have brand new GT2860 -7 turbos (I know stroker on this?!), but yes I ordered them already.

likely 600 or so cc injectors, fuel pump, either Haltech Platinum or Adaptronic, Tomei type B cams, oil baffle, oil restrictors, rear of head oil drain, ported factory manifolds, and likely run stock turbo dumps but full exhaust otherwise.

Basically I'm looking for a FUN street car that can keep up with some of the newer cars without being a racecar. If I go to bigger turbos later it will be a single in the GT35R size range (500 rwhp on pump?).

Any and all REAL applicable advice would be appreciated.

Tomei kit doesn't stroke as much as the Brian Crower, but it's lighter. I'm sure both will greatly help response. I'm likley going to keep the revs under 7800.

Both options will produce an extremely lively setup with your supporting modifications and turbo choice. If you did want more power down the track though and do end up changing the turbo, more displacement is your friend so go with the BC 2.9 kit.

As far as quality goes, I have yet to see a Tomei part that I wasn't happy with. My current engine uses Tomei parts for everything. The only thing I noticed during assembly is that their factory shimming of the cams was on the loose side of their stated specifications.

This is solved. I found a decent price on a brand new OEM crankshaft...saved about $2k. Spent that money on Tomei oil pump and new clutch.

Thanks!
