I'm seriously torn on if i should buy a stoker kit for my rb26 or just build it and leave at it a 2.6L. My question is whats the best kit on the market. I still want to be able to rev it out if I ever feel the need .... :D . I was looking into the HKS Kit but I'm not sure what step to get or if I should go with a completely different kit from someone like JUN, Tomei, OS Giken, or Brian Crower.

Now I'm from the US but have taken a lot of notice to the cars from Croydon Racing Developments. I want to keep the twin turbo setup, but I want to go bigger.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated seeing as to how its kinda hard for me to find information here in the states.

Thanks Guys

It depends on what you're going to be doing with the car, what works best for a 1/4 mile may not have the response, or revability, you would desire on the track/street. I personally would stick with the stock bore and stroke, they love the revs and with the correct turbo selection, and tuning, you can make very usable power.

the best 2.8 imo is the HKS step 3. but it's pretty exy. second to that would be the tomei with cooling channel pistons, then after that HKS step2, then the step 1 HKS and the regular tomei are about even.

a properly built HKS Step 3 kit will still give you plenty of revs.

I can't even find a price on a HKS Step 3 LoL. All the stuff I find is in jap. writing. Do you know of any place down there that I can order one from?

HKS stopped making the Step 3 kit over a year ago. I can only sell you the Step 2 or 1 these days. The only way you will purchase the last Step 3 kit is to buy the complete HKS R33 Drag long motor I have for sale. It's a spare that was built for the R33 Drag Car that retired before needing this engine. If anyone is serious about it enquire to [email protected]

Otherwise the HKS 2.8 gives more capacity than the rivals if you are going to stroke it and will happily see the revs required to make the RH9 club.

THis is easy

If you money was not a concern i would get the Os Giken 3.0lt. and pair of HKS GT-RS turbos for all the mombo jumbo power you can eat. Cost=30K

But if you live in a reality world and know how expensive it all can add up (all the supporting mods) I would stick to the orginal proven 2.6lt (nissan thought so too for over 10 yrs) and build it stronger and stick in some HKS GT-SS or for bit more power GT2530 turbos for a well rounded car. Cost=10K

good luck.

Ill start by saying listen to the guys who've built them moreso that dreamers like me who are still planning and saving haha.

But ive done a bit of research on the whole subject

Depends 100% on application and driving style

I want to keep my engine as revvy and true to the original formula as possible, so im planning a overbored built motor, with standard stroke, so something around 268x cc.

If i had the cash (im an automotive engineering student = no cash) id be looking at one of the fully counterbalanced jap stroker kits so 2.6 or 2.7.

Anything bigger, HKS 2.8, that magnificent aussie made 2.9 that ive seen of the forums, or the OS Giken 3.0 are fantastic for grunt but ...i dunno...not quite what i want, dont know why.

I like wringing my engines out, always rowing throught the gears. If you dont maybe a 2.8+ is the way to go.

I think its a good idea to have a shortlist of bottomends that you would be happy with, and be on the lookout for the best price/deal.

trust me there is no problem with revs in the HKS 2.8s I have witnesssed in japan. and been in. they all revv'd very nicely. :)

RB30s yes, HKS RB28 still retains almost all of that nice revvy nature of the 26.

im also planing to go stoker kit for my r34. my goal is 400-450kw's @ all wheels. i was looking at the HKS 2.8 but i think the tomei one is better? and the RB30 doesnt like high rpm

i heard sumone on the forum sayn about destoke rb30 cranks to fit rb26 which makes it a 2.9L????

Not going to vote because I've not purchased/used ANY stroker kit as of yet... However I anticipate going for the Tomei kit, I've got an RB25 and I intend on keeping it, and the NVCT, that way, I can get some Poncams to slip in nicely and still work with the NVCT, and the stroker kit itself has been tested by Tomei to work with the RB25 as well...

Mind you, you've got an Rb26 so none of this is really relevent.. Just dropping my 2cents.. :)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
