Hey guys i wanted to know what are the best 2.8l stroker kits. The two that i can see are the HKS step I, II and III and the Tomei 2.8. How high can they rev too and which one do you guys recommend?

Second who has used the HKS V-Cam System? Is it a worthy upgrade? If you guys dont know what im talking about click on the link below.

Is it correct that the v cam was pretty much designed for larger turbos that did not have response?

and that its now kinda outdated as some of the new single turbos have much better response than what they did back when v-cam was made avaliable?

trying to work out what stroker kit to go for myself, my tuner has suggested JUN but it seems the tomie and HKS kits would also be suitable

I have an early rb26dett, would I be better off starting with a later block from an r33 or r34?

There were two factory r34 gtrs that came out with the v-cam, I seen this in a dvd but i cant remember which one.. I think one of them had a big turbo on maybe a t04z I cant remember.

I remember them saying it was a new break through for future enthusiasts or somewhere along those lines it would be good to hear more about it.

ok. firstly there are no factory nissan RB26s with a v-cam system of any type.

Not many guys in aus are running the HKS or tomei 2.8s. There are a few though. No-one as far as I know is running the HKS v-cam set-up in aus.

I've been lucky enough to go for a ride in a couple of 2.8 litre GTRs in japan, and one that was HKS 2.8 and HKS V-cam. It was a very, very nice set-up. but v-cam and 2.8 stroker are just a couple of parts. they do not necissarily a good set-up make. you need to look at a lot of things (like budget, what you want from the engine etc, what the car is used for) before buying them.

V-cam definately made a difference on this car. It runs a large single turbo and goes 300kph+... but this car was a top shelf effort. no expense spared. on any build V-cam would be one of the last things I'd look at. it's quite a high cost for the gain it gives.

andrew: no it's not outdated. it was only finished in 2005! it's designed for current generation turbos, not old ones.

rathur than start a new topic and without highjacking this thread to much, I was also wondering what advantages and disadvantages there are with twin or single turbos on a stroker engine?

I'd kind of like to keep my twin turbo setup, but a big single may be a more straitforward way to go on a all new and fresh stroker engine?

Okay i know the stage III HKS 2.8L Stroker kit can rev supposedly to 12,000rpm (of coure if the head is prepped to handle it) What about the Tomei kit. I wanna rev to 9.5-10k. I want a big single turbo. Basically i want a highway monster but i dont want something that will lag retardley. I want something that can also handle since i will be taking this car to the tracks. I think a TO4Z with the 1.00 A/R or the GT3582R is what im looking at.

If you want a monster go for a 2nd T04Z...1000bhp! other wise a step 3 is a waste. As BB said there are a few guys running stroker combos. I suggest you search the users "cruiseliner" and "Gav". Coincidentally both from W.A. cruiseliner has a 2.7 Jun with a T04Z and Gav has a 2.8 HKS with twin GT-RS. Good luck with this

if your that keen for the hks 2.8lt kit and the v-cam why not buy the best motoring dvd featuring the hks R34 fitted with these parts and a T04z(think) turbo?

ps a "highway monster" is going to be "laggy" no 2 ways about it

that doesnt really tell you a great deal. other than the car is more resposive down low around the track with vcam on.

unless you listen in japaneseseseses there may be some hidden message

oh i was thinking that newer larger singles were becomming more resposive maybe i been smoking a little too much crack

Pretty hard to answer such general questions without some idea of what are you going to put this engine in and what you are going to use it for. Lastly what sort of budget you are allocating, not just the engine but ALL of the other stuff necessary to make it worthwhile.

:) cheers :)

what about the tomei 2.8l stroker kit, how much can hp can it withstand? how high can it rev?

Dude be serious your not going to tell me your going to rev a street engine to 12K! Do the reading and have a reasonable plan and people will help, otherwise its just looking like your bored and want to have a chat...here it is in one sentence-HKS 2.8 step 2, N1 block, Jun oil pump, t04z .81 .

Reality check this thread please. :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
