According to Mine's the engine was not bored for bigger pistons to preserve the reaction,which was posted on youtube. and it showed to be true,the rpm was revved up from 4rpm to 8.5rpm in mere miliseconds. but contradicting this are those stroker kits offered by HKS(2.7L) and Apexi(2.7 or 2.9L) kits and also the RB30DETT offered by tomei(Which needs the engine to be bored to fit in bigger pistons). which i think is also awesome cos i had a chance to sit in a 2.9L R34 GTR tuned by a well known local tuner. i felt that the response was not as i thought it would be. and the lag was there,but after 2 seconds everything kicked in and it blew me away. even with the power that these stroker kits offered,i was more concerned about the reaction of the engine. this comes in when taking in corners and i wouldn't want to have the stroker kit mess the traction jus because it stroker kit didn't respond quick enough.

So my main doubt is,wat are your comments on this subject? once the decision to bore the engine,there's no turning back,but in return more power but less response. :O

what other factors are you referrin to?

regarding the other parts of the car,most of it has been changed,

ECU : Power FC

Camshaft: Tomei

Cam pulley: Tomei

Fuel injectors: 800cc SARD

Hks timing belt

Fuel pump: 265L

Hks front pipe

Hks gt intercooler

trust oil cooler kit.

Hks evc 4

Hks intercooler piping

Tein monoflex with edfc

koyo radiator

sard radator hose

considering this are all external items,when it comes to pistons,crank shaft and crank pulleys,i would want something that delays the response as to me beating other cars on the strait road jus based on the horsepower,is something anybody can do. having an overall balance on the car is my aim.

bore size has very little to do with it (only a difference of 1.5mm maximum, and pistons prolly lighter if forged anyway)

it's the stroke, reciprocating weight and component balancing that makes all the difference to an engines eagerness to rev

thanks man. i'll look into these things and research more into the developement of the engine.

anyway,do you know how i can get to Hi-Torque Performance in melbourne? or are there any other places you would like to recommend?

Boring a block doesn't noticeably increase lag at all.

Your talking a poofteenth of space dude.

Boring a block is generally to get out imperfections when doing a rebuild due to a failure or otherwise (and hence why you are rebuilding).

Lag/response etc has far more to do with the turbo selection/tune and various other things

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
