Have a look at what I wrote.

I wasn't going to sit there all night finding the cheapest price around. It all comes down to what product you use. Some may want Argo rods, another guy might use HKS. I'm not going to sit there and price up 20 different combo's.

What I was trying to say was at the end of the day it's not $7000 worth of difference, even if it was, I still wouldn't use a stock throw crank.

For what it's worth, a 2.8 is still too small.

Ahh ok fair enough,

you just decided to throw in the cheapest stroker kit you could see and inflate the prices of rebuilding a standard. To throw the results. Point made.

Lol at 2.8 even being to small.

Apparently street use means nothing. ONLY TRACK!

Lets get onto the non mentioned side of things... Wear and tear...

technically the Stroker kits won't last as long as a standard 2.6......plus the additional wear on other components.

in saying that #gtrlife they will destroy themselves anyway.

By the time you get that little bit more wear on the thrust side of a bore from extra stroke it would have either already blown up or require something else done anyway.

The argument of stroker wear is invalid in my opinion

Anfanee. What's wrong with the Tomei kit? It's been in my car for a decade. Price up a nitto, BC, HKS. Choose whatever!

You could go and get the Tomei 2.6 full counter crank for $9k a unit?

Just saw a full 26 bottom end on eBay for $400 and a long nose crank for $90 wonder what capacity Freddy used, he did alright didn't he?

I didn't say anything was wrong with the kit at all dude. I'm sure the kit is fantastic, i'm a huge fan of tomei stuff.

Nah for that price i'd get the nitto crank for $4600 a unit lololololol

I was just commenting that there is a little more than a 1k difference, and just trying to show the other side of the story.

But i do know where you are coming from, if you include a crank, there is not a huge difference overall.

looking at my receipts from my rebuild....The difference was pretty decent. Though i didn't need a crank.

Also in saying that Nengun have the HKS step zero for under 4k... holy shit! My difference is still over 2k.

But for that price, get the HKS step zero. 100%

@ Hadouken:

Why not? Oh yeah because its a 26 rather than a thrashed out rb30 that needs a rebuild.. :huh:

Nah I'm still standard 26 here and have no bias.

It's just a $400 block with probably a crack in it and a $90 crank that needs machining anyway if it is in good nick.

Yeah I know mate. I am just saying in general the contradictions that exist. Someone buys a thrashed out 30 and builds a forged 26/30 and they are legends, but someone else does the same on 26 and they are tight arses..... Makes me laugh.

engine parts are only ever as good as the workshop that screws it together.

I've seen first hand massive dollar equipment hand grenade on first run/dyno pull and on the other hand I have witnessed bone stock unopened motor's that had "claimed" to be built go on to produce over 400wkws for years.

"I BELIEVE THE MAGIC IS IN THE ASSEMBLY "

Proably shouldnt tell you i plan on building this myself then

I don't doubt the displacement argument but my engine is 2629cc at 87x73.7mm.. If I was going all out with a new N1 bock and stroker is 2738cc at 86

5x77.7mm thats 109cc difference for 7+ grand extra, you'd be nuts to take a virgin block straight to 87mm (assuming for a 2.6 refesh my crank and rods are fine, just new pistons) I would have though improving your VE% by 3 or 4 percent on the 87mm 2.6 with good head work would yeild similar results? If you're going all out, sure do both. But on an assembled 2.6 engine you'd see similar gains with just doing the head work. If I wanted solid grunt I'd be looking at over 3L for sure.

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
