Never heard of this company Grex, and it seems to me that 2.7 is done more by bore than stroke (cant rember stock rb26 bore).

From a recent discussion on another forum i understood that a 2.7 wont give that much extra power really, but if you are doing it to keep safe then it would be good.

but grex..... hope they are not releates to MotoRex in the usa

That price is just for the pistons, doesnt include the conrods or crankshaft that come in the higher priced ($10,000+) kits.

And yes, Grex is Greddy is Trust etc. They are the same company, but technically they are different.

is it worth the price tag

i thoguht they would be more expensive then that, can anyone confirm if the kit is any good

MrChams is running the Trust 2.7 kit in his R32

I sure am... there are different kits from what I understand.

The kit that I have is 87.5mm GREX pistons and GREX H pattern rods.

The larger 2.7ltr piston kit helps my Greddy T78 spool up quicker.

Due to the cost of after market cranks, I am running a standard crank that has been shot penned and cryogenically treated (dunno what the hell that is but hey...)

The standard cranks are pretty strong. Before my rebuild this crank held 720hp with no signs of breaking. Not sure what there limit is.

I'm still running in the engine. Once I have it tuned I'll let you all know how I went for power.

The kit on the link above is just the over sized 87mm piston kit.

This is not the stroker kit.

The piston size makes it 2.7ltr.

My pistons are 87.5mm not 86.5mm. Typo

If you check out this link, you can calculate the displacement

http://www.benedict.esu7.org/sblock/ccfrm.html

It's something like this (don't quote me on it)

Bore radius squared x pi x stroke x no. of cyl = Total cubic displacement

How do you get the extra stroke necessary for 2.7L from a standard crank and 86.5mm pistons? :confused:

how much difference? Just outta interest.

And running in an engine? Thats over-rated in this day and age

Ahhh okay...

Std bore & stroke (86x73.7) = 2568cc (juuuuuust enough to claim 2.6 Litres :P)

87.5mm bore & std stroke = 2659cc (also juuuuuuuuuuust enough to claim 2.7 Litres :))

Did you do these internal upgrades by themselves? Could you really tell the effects of extra 100cc capacity? Or did you do other things like camshafts, cam gears, etc etc at the same time?

The stoke on the trust piston is 75.7mm and the piston size is 87.5.

Regarding the mods etc,

It's not just the pistons that has given the improvement but extensive head work.

The head work included modifying the bowl shape, different angles on the valves and valve chamber, valve guide modified, cam area opened for bigger cams and the obvious port enlargement.

I am currently running the standard cams with adjustable cam gears.

Bigger cams will be fitted soon once I decide what size to get.

Yes, I did notice the difference. The engine does feel like it has more down low torque but I can't say till we tune it on the dyno.

I don't agree with not running in an engine.

My mechanic use to work for Nissan Japan.

They did test on how to run in RB engines. He told me that the best result was when they ran the engine up to 4,000rpm for the 1st 1,500km then oil change then up to 5,000rpm to 5,000km.

He told me the bore was perfect after such a run in.

The test also involved using mineral based oil in some engines and full-synthetic in other engines.

The full-synthetic oil run engines came out much better.

The price is very high just for Greddy pistons.

You should be able to get the pistons for approx $2500 and the rods for approx the same, $2500...

damn, when i saw the pic and the price i already got the credit card out, but for pistons only hm doesnt seem worth it,

How exactly do you increase stroke by 2mm with a piston upgrade on standard crank? :confused:

And I don't need a web calculator, I remember my Year 7 volumetric formulas :Oops: Probably the first time I've used them since high school :)

5000km run-in??? That would take most people 6 months to complete. You really think that's a feasible run-in time?

What engine parts could POSSIBLY need 5000kms bedding in time??? :uhh:

No comment on the full-synthetic running in oil use... People have different ideas on that one, but the vast majority believe that mineral oil for the first 1000kms or so is still the best way to go.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
