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:

Sounds perfect man.

Lag is good.

Just banter mate . A lot of blokes with nothing much else to do, oh you will notice how the SAU gets busy once everyone gets to work and fire up the company's computer, lol

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.

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

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

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
