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.. :)

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
