Tomei hasnt released that much info on rating but i have reading up on it alot and seem find its rating is about 600ps (441kW) to 800ps ( 588.40KW)

anyone making over 400kw in there GTR will be more than happy to keep it at that level. so theres no point getin the HKS step 2 or 3 for that extra pwoer level

you say you payed $7500 for the HKS kit which is not bad. but i would of gone the Tomei kit for that same price

The 7k TOMEI 2.8 stroker kit is cheaper as it does not have a full 12 counter weight crankshaft it only has a 8 counterweight crank so for circuit use i would prefer the HKS step 2 2.8 or the jun 2.7 as both have the full 12 counterweight crank.

u guys are missing the point the guys wants to know which is the best stroker kit out there.

i think the Tomei is still better than the HKS. as the tomei item has a Bore 87.5mm with brings the cc to 2807 $ 7,649 which is cheaper than the HKS step 3

which the HKS stroker kit Step 1 Bore 86.0mm, Step 2 Bore 86.5mm, Step 3 Bore 87.0mm $10,000

the steps of the stroker kits have nothing to do with bore size. you have the option of 86.5 and 87mm with most of them.. some have 87.5 and 88mm which i wouldnt think about doin if your pushing a motor anywhere near its limits while hoping for reliability

they have everything to do with bore size. "Cubic centimeters. It's a measure of displacement. Displacement is "bore x stoke" or the cross-sectional area of the cylinder times the distance the piston travels in the cylinder. The larger the bore and the stroke, the greater the displacement"

end of the day people are pay alot of my for a stroker kit and they want the most out of it. yes reliability is one of them but having more cc with a bigger bore size always win's.

the step 1 2 and 3's mean more than just bore size. heres the hks kits brief run down

Step 1, pistons rods and crank

Step 2, pistons with coatings rods and crank

Step 3, pistons with coatings and billet rods and crank

the tomei step 1 and step 2 are slightly different with the step 2 having the cooling channel pistons

Are cooling channel pistons REALLY needed?

I have the Tomei stroker with NON cooling channel pistons and have had no problems what so ever.... Thats with a "tight" 2 thou piston to bore clearence.

if the 3.4L stroker was available i wouldn't mind giving it a go. due to the displacement you wouldn't have to rev the engine to get a lot of torque and power but if you balance the thing well it should have no issues doing 8000rpm there are many RB30 engines doing 8000-8500 rpm how much more do you need?

^they certainly arent cheap by any means.

Out of interest how much does it cost to to fully prepare a stock crank for your average tough drag/track engine?

Martin HKS, whilst your here, can you comment on the power handling of the HKS step1/2? ive read that they seemingly use very similar components in the kits, and that even a step one kit should be good for far more than its 600ps rating. This would be good to know as there is a significant price diference.

Here is the HKS breakdown on kits. We all know you can run them a lot harder than HKS recommend just like stock.

They are all 2771cc displacement using 77.7mm full counter stroke crankshaft and 87.0mm bore. Step 1 and 2 have 21mm pin while the discontinued Step 3 used 22.0mm.

HKS Step 1 = Forged Crank, Piston, and Forged Conrods

HKS Step 2 = Lightened Forged Crank, Nickel Coated Pistons with Titanium Coated Rings and Forged Conrods

HKS Step 3 = Billet Crank, Nickel Coated Pistons with Titanium Coated Rings and Forged Conrods in 22mm

Cheers

From the sounds of things, I'm starting to look into the JUN 2.7 kit, HKS and Tomei 2.8(its kinda hard for me to get rb30 parts here in America hehe). From What I have seen the guys from CRD like to run that kit. I so want something that "revs like a sewing machine" LoL. The only issue now is my turbo size(I'm starting to realize that its always something else that needs to be figured out after you answer one questions). I want to go top mount twins that are externally gated, but im not sure what size turbo I should get. I've seen a lot of cars (via youtube, streetfire, magazines, etc.) running these big twins on top like in this video,

, but I can never find what size they are.

Its kinda funny with this forum though becuase I wait up all night for a response browsing this forum, but I always seem to forget you guys over there are on a completely different time zone that I am :( LoL!

But in all seriousness, this is the best, most helpful, nonbashing forum I've ever been on. And I really do appreciate all the help you guys have given me thus far and know I can always count on the right answer from you guys. :)

Being a broke ass Skyline owner, i have to question is the extra little bit of response and the extra few kws really worth the expense? I mean, have a holiday at Lake Como and have a 370rwkws rebuild, or sit at home and hope you can feel the difference between "fark me dead" quick and "i cant feel the difference" quick but the clock says i am going quicker?

This is why I said go RB30, you can blatently tell the difference. One of the ones RIPS in NZ built for a customer makes near 500kw @ wheels on pump gas, and has more power EVERYWHERE than what it did on the stock R34 turbos. If he replicated the exact same turbo/cam/power level on the RB26 then it'd be a different situation altogether.

The cool thing about extra displacement is that it has more torque all by itself, if you add boost it just piles it on - if the RB30 had the same boost curve as an RB26 it'd make more power all the way through the rev range. The thing is, the RB30 spools the turbo(s) harder as well so it will make even more power everywhere in the rev range - so you may as well counter that and get an even bigger turbo which is the same if not a little laggier than the ones on the RB26, make more power/response all the way through the rev range, and make a metric crap load more up top with no compromise.

As I have perviously states in one of my pervious statements, It is dam near impossible for me to get my hands on an RB30 bottom end LoL. And I'm sure as hell not paying our my arse hole for the OS Giken Kit no matter how many people say how good it is LoL.

But the RB30 would be my choice if I wanted to do with a BIG signle LoL.

I'm just so undecided on what I would like this build to result in .... I've just got so many thoughts going through my head with all these possibilities LoL :3some:

9's can be done quite easy with a well built engine using mostly stock components...Take our old set-up as an example.

STD 05U block

86mm Aries pistons

STD rods

STD crank

Mildly ported head

STD valves

STD springs

STD retainers

Tomei 1.2mm head gasket

Tomei oil restrictor

Tomei cams 260 9.15mm

Tomei sump baffle

N1 oil pump

N1 water pump

This ran low 10's with full weight 1600kg+ including driver using HKS 2530 low mounts and running Federal street rubber.

Car was ran flat out for 3 years before the rear turbo failed due to oil starvation (blocked oil feed) and when the engine was pulled down it was in perfect order.

The addition of one or more of the following would have seen high 9's

Bigger turbo's

Better rubber

Lighter car

Dog gearbox

NOS kit

Better driver

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
