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.. :)

    • 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?
