Hey all,

Just wanted to get some feedback on which would be a better path. I have a HKS 2.8 stroker crank and was worried that the recommended 87mm bore might be pushing it with the 05u block. I know 87mm is pretty safe but I am not going to push ridiculous numbers, around 300kw or so was more building for response some more torque and reliability. To that end maybe going with a 86.5mm bore would be more suited for my application? With the 86.5 bore capacity is 2.73 or close to, with the 87mm its 2.78. If I was going with an N1 block I am sure 87mm would be fine but last thing I want is to strengthen internals only to weaken the block.

Thanks

personally mate for 300kw a stroker kit is a waste of time... just use the std crank chuck in a set or rod and pistons or even stay with stock rods for that matter. and abit of head work if ur keen. should be able to even make that on a std head i would have thought

Thank for the input.

I am going to be running Nismo 581 turbos (group a's) and wanted a bit more capacity for response. Another reason is that I got the crank at a good price and thought it would be better to go with a stroker crank rather then an R33 crank that way I get a bit more capacity and the wider collar. Plus as an added bonus the counter crank should be less likely to cause the oil pump distress. I realise you are right that 300kw can be achived without replacing the crank but it was always going to have to come out of the car to get a collar so why not throw something better in? I was always going to put forged rods and pistons in, now I just have to get some customs pistons made to suit the crank as I don't have the full HKS stroker kit.

Getting off the point here. Was more interested in how well the 05U block would handle a bore of 87mm as opposed to 86.5. I couldn't find anything from HKS about whether their stroker kits where recommended to be run on an N1 block.

The block should be fine at 300kw regardless of bore but it is up to you whether or not you feel 50cc's is worth the small risk. Only early r32 cranks had the narrow collar issue. It was fixed in the later (92+) r32's and all the 33 and 34's are OK. IMO if you got a cheap 2.8 stroker crank why not? Your gonna get power hungry anyway and go for more down the line anyway.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.

      Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.

      I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
