Built 2.6 vs 2.8 Same duration cams Same fuel Same dyno and tuner Same turbo's Same ECU Not sure what you'd prefer.... I'll give you a guess which engine is which.. Carry on...

The beauty of a responsive big power stroker is you can still pretend it's heaps laggy with the throttle, if that's your thing. Can't pretend a lag monster is responsive...

There is definitely something wrong with you. I liked your post, but there is definitely something broken!

I love these threads!

All this talk of power v's response v's feelings, lol.

For the record, (and to make most of you feel better, haha) I've got an RB20 making 240rwkw.

At 4000rpm it makes 73rwkw.

Ha.

I love it.

Its slow on the street. I get beaten by pretty much anything up to 60 (unless I launch it)

Keeps me out of trouble, cause' to do anything silly you've got plenty of time to think about it before anything happens, by that stage I'm feeling guilty about what I'm going to do and back off.

Oh and Emma Stone. 10/10 :yes:

Lag is good.

Everyone knows dyno sheets show what's best.

She loves lag.... Nice slow to start with, take your time admiring the beauty..... Just waiting in anticipation for the rush to blow her mind..... That's what I am talking about brother.

You response lovers are always in a rush that's the problem.

I'm gonna try get this back on topic (kinda) cause I still have a few questions... Flame if you wish.

Stroking imo definitely sounds like the smarter option if a rebuild/refresh is needed.

People here have been saying either Tomei or Nitto 28 strokers a lot - any others worth mentioning?

I understand Nitto has a billet crankshaft so has a higher redline, but what is tomei's rev limit? its is a full counter too

Would you guys say the difference in price is worth it if its not gonna be a drag queen, but will see the track?

(Hypothetically - lets say a somewhat reliable(86.5mm) 400kw+, street and track, twin scroll single etc etc.)

What other parts are needed besides what come in these kits? besides labour and the usual oil control mods...

I've had a look around of course, but most threads are quite old
(2008 for the stroker kit of choice thread, so some new thoughts/opinions would be nice)

This thread was great before people started being opinionated instead of stating facts.

Also, Emma is a 10.

If that's all your chasing I would just go the tomei 2.8 if thats the choice over the nitto kit.

Save yourself the coin and do some work on the head.

Maybe have a look at going a 2.9.. I know Brian crower makes them

Might be a couple of others floating around

Going 29 would push the pistons over 86.5mm no?, wouldn't this reduce the reliability (thickness of walls)?

I also had a read of nitto's website, they do something interesting with the rod design to make the entire system more reliable, but cant tell if this is true.

Thanks, I guess there is no need for the extra revs if that's the power goal.

What head work would you suggest?

Just trying to wrap my head around this - appreciate your replies

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
