Originally the stroker kit came with shorter rods so an off the shelf piston could be used.

We scrapped that idea and decided to use an off the shelf rod (longer) with a custom piston.

A longer rod Improves rod to stroke ratio and reduces wear on the thrust side of the cylinder. A custom piston also allowed us to decide how much valve relief was cut into the top as the UNIGROUP cams have big lift

So you are staying with the EU 260 10.8s

I am glad I know shit all about cars, it gets too technical when you want to push the motor :(

You blokes made it an easy decision for me, I thought what was the easiest way to get what I want from my car without knowing all of the technical stuff, I went with with the stroker build and I did not have to take anything off the car that I spent money on , except for the Poncams B, I have kept everything else under the hood.

The 2.6L 8374 equipped missle i went in today certainly sealed the deal with everybody that went in it.. Including some pretty hardcore #twinturboGTR4lyf mofos! They even buried the notion of needing 2 turbos for response in this wonderful age of lightweight billet materials and black magic aerodynamics that make 1 turbocharger enough to tear ya face off from 4000rpm to redline (in 2nd gear) from a 800hp turbo :)

Do you know what rear housing this car had? If it's the same car that Piggaz mentions a few posts on, sounds like it might have been the 1.05 (external gate)? Sounds pretty interesting, I had always thought that a 1.05 rear housing on a 2.6L was quite large and potentially laggy but perhaps technology has come a long way in the last few years.

It was the 1.05.

I had the same thoughts in my head before I got in it. Yes it had v cam BUT it also had a F con v pro which was half assed tuned on a 37 degree day. I can't see the point in going back to the 0.92 IWG, it went that well.

So much untapped potential that's for sure.

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
