That it does.

Gearing such as close ratio boxes and holingers n diff ratios make a huge difference in how the car comes onto power. Example CRDs JUN and powertunes r34 gtr. But like you say Ash. Some people don't understand.

Rb30's also love to rev if built right. Ask RIPS. he take a dirty 30 to 9-10k rpm without a fuss. It's just not needed in most cases because of the extra torque they make.

As for the to4z maybe it gets the job done. But today there are better options!

I love the idea of going through 5 gears getting out my driveway. ..

I have one of these kits in my R34 (not rb26, it's a gtt)

Note their kit which they market as being 25 or 26 compatible didn't come with pistons that suit the Neo head. I realise this thread is referring to the 26 but worth mentioning for anyone who uses the search feature in the future. I'm sure wherever you get it from can supply pistons to suit but I would definitely ask/confirm/double check/triple confirm before you order to be 700% sure to avoid drama.

Hmm well I'm in the process of deciding to go stroker. I've heard things about mixing up the components from a step 1 and step 2 hks 2.8l kit. Or I will just dump my car at race pace and tell them exactly what is recommended based on my application/intended use. Interesting to see how 2.9 functions from a 2.8.

I'm sure Chris will sort it out one way or another. Last time I spoke to him, he was doing his own 2.8 kit which I believe is in his car right now. As far as the 2.9 goes, these things need all the stroke they can get. Every little bit counts! An extra 1.3 mm is an extra 32.5% more stroke than going from a 2.6 to a "2.8" kit. Bring it on I say :D

Thanks guys , I think I will be getting this, Speaking of the powertunes R34 gtr , spoke to the guys there who speak highly of BC obviously as they sell it but that GTR is reliable uses B C stroker makes over 1000hp been doing it for 3 yrs been driven heaps even gets street driven and no issues what so ever.

I also spoke to a few other people who have used his stuff with good comments and no issue, read a few posts of ppl who speak highly of them, I will use a new N1 block as a base, strengthen it everyway possible, do lots of headwork, should be good. Will do some more homework offcourse It is not going to be a rushed thing.

Cheers.

The bc stuff I do hear good things about.

Dont quote me but im sure boost logic are using at least one of their cranks in a 7 sec supra. Will have to find the build again to be 100% sure.

But plenty of guys using them in 2jz's stateside at more than 1000hp with no failures that I have heard of.

You either need a shorter driveway or think about parking half way down....

The powertune guys seem to know whats what when it comes to bc and rb's. Best of luck with your engine building mate.

Just thinking about it gets me all excited to do this a lot faster! I guess you've lived and breathed 2.8's far too long ey Piggy? Chris knows his stuff, I'll let him do the hard work lol

Haha. Well the difference in drive ability and twist between a 2.6 and 2.8 is night and day, lets not even go to a 3.0 or bigger. It baffles me that anyone would consider using a standard stroke length crank when you have it all apart. I realise its more exxy but you get a much better result.

If I didn't have my stroker crank and block, it'll be bigger without hesitation.

Yea I get what you mean, if my engine was apart I would have my engine bored and longer stroke length. The results are just more crisp and can do so much more. Want to chuck some -5's on there with 25-26psi on E85 and aim for high 400's

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
