HAve you looked at the 3.4l stroker kit? I know its a little bit more, but its good value if you can stretch a grand or two more.

By the time you by rods, pistons, rings, rod bolts and bearinigs, and balance you're around $3k - $3.5k

3.4L stroker has a new crank, rods, pistons, bolts, bearings and rings and is $5k. I think it is already balanced.

WHen you think about it, $1500 really isn't that much more for a torque monster. Plus you wouldn't have many lag issues.

WHERE the f**k u getting these prices from.... $3k for rods, pistons ect.... what are they beryllium ?? or are u buying these and adding on the miner tax ??

well..I just checked and the prices have dropped a little since i looked last. But pretty close..

GOOD Pistons & Rings $1400

Spool Rods: $700

Rod Bolts: $200

Bearings: $200

Balance: $400

Crank Collar & Fitted: $200

Total: $3100

Crank journals \ Block tunnels might need machining - $possible $500 - $1k depending on what needs to be done..

I'd even get the crowns of the pistons and the combustion chambers HPC'd. Price isn't too bad. Just need to balance after this is done.

3.4 Stroker, with all of those parts, already balanced with a brand new crank that is capable of high revs, is only $5k..

Then buy a GTR one day and transfer this bottom end to it... lol

To me it just seems like a better buy and more piece of mind.

I want to stick with the RB25. For what I want it to be, anything over an RB26 is useless. I'm not a racer, drifter or anything. Just want a safe motor and tune that has some balls that MIGHT have a chance against a SIL80 that will be around the streets shortly.

the rods come with bolts already dont need to buy 2 lots

She'll be a screamer. Can't wait to hear it on gate, haha. I don't know who is tuning it yet, he hasn't told me I don't think. But deadset, the turbo on it is going to suck small children in if he drives past a school or even a pregnant woman.

That's the kit I was looking at. Want to keep 2.5L, but the reality is that even the $2,000 for that is out of reach at the moment when im paying off stuff, saving for a house and saving for an overseas holiday on apprentice wages. The 33 is taking a backseat to more important things at the moment, but one day I'll get a rebuild kit, spray and tidy up the engine bay, and make the engine look pretty like my VL RB30

Then it will be 24psi of HKS fury pumping into that engine haha

is 24psi where the efficiency runs out ?? ur talkin bout the turbo u got on there now ay ??

im gonna hate goin back to apprentice wages :(

HKS GT2835 KAI

Bit of a let down ATM but trying to work with HKS to work it out

243rwkw @18psi

But I think I accidentally knocked the timing back a bit when I put my new timing cover on. Will check that and then see if it feels any better

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
