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:

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

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
