You don’t need a brace on a billet block, in fact you can’t even fit one because they are designed differently 

Yeah it's an awesome concept they've done at Bullet. The chunky 4 bolt main cap design is very impressive as it effectively braces against the outer edges of the already much more rigid block.

If you are buying a New N1 block, I would go billet provided you don't live in Darwin.

main Caveat with billet is the pump must be external, and the car should be fully warmed up before driving it due to Bearing clearances being very tight cold and quite loose hot (hence a lot of oil flow needed to achieve pressure)

Thanks a lot for your reply ! And especially to @burn4005 for your feedback on your setup which is basically the power I'm chasing

(Yes I will have a crank trigger )

OK then I will put a surge tank and a coolant swirl pot

I will stay with JUN as they are rated to 65 compared to kelford beehive which are 105 (too high for VCAM)

120+ even with the 25 row setrab in additiion for just a few laps that's huge ! so I guess I will not drive longer than that...

 

Interesting to know that the car needs to be fully warmed with a billet block which is quite annoying for the street aspect...

So I will stay with a new standard block + prp main cap

 

@Piggaz 2.7 piston speed is slowest than 2.8 so more "reliable" that's why

 

My last remaining question is :

nitto stroker kit 2.8 with wide bearing V2 or nitto stoker kit 2.7 V1 ? I prefer to have a 2.7 stroker but I like the idea of wider bearing...  or other ? why ?

If you’re worried about piston speed between a 2.7 and a 2.8 then why are you stroking at all? Keep the 2.6. How many 2.8’s are being used? 
 

You’ll end up revving the 2.7 slightly harder than the 2.8 so piston speed will end up the same same just at a slightly higher RPM with the 2.7.

Is it a retoric question regaring the number of 2.8s ? To be honest, I did not fully paid attention to this detail so I have no clue...

I just noticed that Nitto is doing a 2.6 crankshaft too

So now it's either 2.6 crankshaft std or 2.8 crankshaft with wider bearing or ?

I don't even think piston speed is a concern compared to rod ratio on the RB26 strokers. But even a 119.5 mm conrod length 77.7mm stroker still has a 1.54 rod ratio which is pretty close to what Honda was doing for a while, the B18C has a 1.58 rod ratio. EJ25s have a rod ratio of 1.65 but their block integrity is so poor already that any stroke increase is not recommended on those engines. The reason why everyone goes RB30 these days is the bump in the height of the block allows for a much longer connecting rod, even an RB34 has a 1.62 rod ratio which isn't far off from the 1.65 the RB26 is running stock. The problem with an RB30 build is of course packaging that extra height. Everything is subtly off and requires work to make everything fit properly again.

If you want power you're going to want a 2.8L stroker at the very least to have halfway decent low-end response. From there pick a turbo that isn't going to take forever to spool. Personally I would probably get whatever is the single equivalent to the 2530/-5 category that'll get you into the 10 second quart mile range. RBs suck to build for big power anyways. You can do it, plenty of people at Cootamundra do but it's just a lot more effort than I think it's worth.

Nittos 2.8 like mine runs the standard 121.5mm rb26 conrod length with custom piston pin height with the 77.7mm crankshaft.

Right, it pushes the pin up higher in the piston which has its own compromises. Personally after thinking about it I just ended up deciding against a stroker and instead picked a turbo that is barely even big enough to use on a 2.57L engine.

Why do you seem to think you know much more than the people like Jim at Nitto doing their very in depth engineering and development outcomes ? 

These strokers have been run for decades. Too much theory text book dribble. A GTR needs a stroker to push its dumb head, short stroke, lack of low end grunt, lard ass around.

Do you think you’ll be able to notice the “downside” of a slightly short RS ratio? A shorter RS ratio has its own advantages too. How many kms of years of driving are you going to do before it becomes an issue? You probably would have sold the car.

I don't doubt that Nitto has made a kit that works and is fit for purpose. For me it's just about keeping things simple and my intended purpose generally being a weird one. Why change variables unless I know that it's actually necessary to? A shorter rod ratio does have some advantages but these are all short rod motors. The only question is the degree. The RB26 is already a factory stroker, there's some documentation out there that it was meant to be a 2.4L until a late change to 2.6L. The RB30 is what I'd consider long rod. I don't ever intend on selling my car. For OP I think it's clear they want a lot of power so getting to what I think is a fairly low rod ratio is acceptable. If they're ok with a lot of rejiggering to get an RB30 block to fit then I think that's probably a better approach though.

Nek minnit @joshuaho96 installs GT-RS twins for response.

They probably be better then the dyno sheet I saw of the latest hks offerings

THanks guys for your inputs !

Keep in mind that I will use the VCAM so I will get some low-mid range there so the 2.8 is not that really justify there ?

I just like the idea of having bigger bearings on the crankshaft which is only available for the 2.8 stroker...

Maybe both choices are good enough for my purpose and I just need to pick one ?

If you want huge power and you don't want to deal with the engine being taller and all the pain that entails: 

 

Then the answer is 2.8 + VCAM. You need every bit of VE you can to spool the turbos.

This might be the way you can keep your .6 motor

Now it's 3.6 litre xD

thats just a destroked barra isnt it? 😆

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
