what about twin hks 3037s. How bad would the lag be on a HKS Step 3 2.8l.

Dude... i give you a tip... just slow down and take your hands off the keyboard and read :)

The last few days you've started some threads with ideas that are getting more and more far fetched as you go. Each thread attracting another 10-15k ontop of the first one which makes you seem as if your a 16yr old kid with "high hopes"

1) 500awhp RB26

2) A 350Z with an RB26 & 4WD running gear

3) 2.8ltr strokers and V-Cams in an all-out setup with 3037's

Just slow down, and do some of your own reasearch please. There is oodles of info here.

Asking blind questions without even an idea of what your asking one after another after another is not going to achieve anything and is a sure-fire way to having your threads locked by me or someone else.

Its great to have ideas, more the better, however there is enough information in the world and especially on this forum.

Please take heed of the advice.

Set a budget first and go from there

Cheers.

also, if you really do have this kind of coin to throw at a car, why not think about the OS Giken rb30?

You do realise the smaller capacity RB26s are king of the dyno charts in Japan? Also, 8000RPM isn't as fun as 11000 :)

who really wants to be a mega-gay dyno queen? come on dude, ur seriously not as soft as that :)

and the os rb30's have no drama's revving to 9000rpm

I understand what everyones saying. I did start a couple of threads. The 350z with the rb26dett awd is a dream car and i was jsut trying to see what everyone says. If that plan doesnt go through which it most likely isnt i will defintley be swapping a rb26dett into my 240sx. However im not going to go that crazy on the motor then. If i did the 350z swap then i would get the hks step 3 2.8l and the V-Cam. I do have the loot. I have about 20k to spend.

furhter more to that post above, i dug up an old dyno graph i have.

it had better be 20K english pounds...

lol Shane :)

Shabib - your going to need a LOT more than 20k make.

The stroker kit alone is almost half of that before you even put it together an purchase any other parts at all which comes to probably another 15k

lol i dont necessarily have to get the hks step 3 2.8l. Thats why ive been asking about the tomei 2.8l stroker kit and how much hp it can hold and how high it can rev. Its about 2k cheaper than then the hks kit.

well I'm assuming you are in the states, but even 20K USD is a long way off building the type of car you are talking about. it's not just a matter of buying a 2.8kit, a T04Z and a V-cam and then ships ahoy matey. you will need all new pulleys, harmonic balancer, prepped N1 block, complete re-done head (try buying 24 titanium valves, double valve sprins, retainers, cams, guides and then having it put together) if you want big HP and big RPM, and you want it to last more than a few passes you will need the BEST of everything. add to that a quad plate clutch, a dog gear set (or would sir prefer hollinger sequential at $22K AUD?), then add your new intercooler (cost $2.5K AUD alone), new radiator, twin oil coolers, diff cooler, trans cooler, bearings, gaskets, engine assembley, ignition system, ecu (i'd suggest motec for this set-up), injectors, fuel system (twin pumps, surge tank, all new lines both return and feed, twin feed rail, fuel reg etc). let's do the oil control. you'll need custom dry sump set-up with at least a 4 stage pump, boot mounted tank (with warmer) and all plumbed up properly. then full custom exhaust and intake piping, since we have come this far let's make it titanium as well. now you will need some nice wheels to go with your $80K set-up and some tyres to go on them. and don't forget the rest of your car is still standard and looking like crap. so lets throw in $10K on body work (conservative), and around $5K on suspension. then leave $6K for brakes so you can actually stop. now you are going to run your 900hp GTR (or whatever car it is today) at 12,000rpm on the street, so you had better be prepared for regular check-ups and inspections. may as well lease a workshop for a year, and hire your own private mechanic as there will be a years work to do building your car for one man no problem.

$20K USD will buy you fck all on that list.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
