Jun 2.7 Stroker Kit Vs Nitto 2.7 Stroker Kit?


Recommended Posts

I'm having a 30 bottom end built with the stock crank, forged Pistons and rods and the whole thing will come out to about half the cost of a stroker kit off the shelf

That's the upfront costs.. If you have a GTR the you need a 4wd adapter plate, the block sits higher so your pluming and exhaust needs to be modified, I'm sure there's plenty I've missed.. It's the small things that add up

Yup everyone thinks its easy to just slap a Rb30 together for a GTR. If its twin turbo its a mission since it lifts the head up 35mm. When I did my build it was a minimum of $4000 extra on top of my forged motor. So I set about keeping as god intended it. 2.6L TT. Sort of wish i went a nitto stroker haha.

I was considering the 30 for a while, the. Decided it was just easier a d cheaper to build a 2.9 stroker..

Got to use a few old parts and I like the idea of keeping the standard sized block

With the 3.0 and the comp housing on your turbo, it would be hanging out of the bonnet!

Dollar for dollar the RB30 is cheaper, mine as example

RB30 complete motor $150 :yes:

Prep crank with collar $500

Adaptor plate, platinum race( the dear one ) $1250, can be done for $500

Machining for adaptor plate ( included close girdle and line bore ) $1700, not needed for other adaptor plates

Forged Pistons and rods delivered from states $1500

ACL race bearings ( mains and big end ) $250

That brings you to the start point of a stroker so the rest would be the same

$150

$500

$1250

$1700

$1500

$250

=$5350

And the extra drive you get from the 30 crank is soooo much better

I used R32 GTR twin turbo and plenum hoses which fit perfect and look stock as

I was getting a new exhaust anyway and it starts from the CES dump pipes

Intake was taking care of with the R32 hoses going from twin turbo pipe to chassis and plenum to chassis, though if you have a 32 that won't work :(

Oil returns was a -12 bung welded onto sump

I believe if the block is older than the car it has to meet the emission standards of the model of car its in.

ie it would have to be bone standard and im240 tested etc

doable on e85...but e85 needs an aftermarket ecu....so technically not legal.

If you're getting it engineered then a passed IM240 means you can bypass the block/car age issue, non-factory tune issue etc. Of course that only covers tailpipe emissions - you still need charcoal canister, plumbed in PCV etc. (Assuming i understood what the Engineer said at the SAU NSW tech evening).

Try fitting a Tomie pump on a RB30.

Wont go straight on, sits 2.7mm out from the block.....more mods with a die grinder.

So much more than meets the eyes......

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
