some poms are wierd

[crack]

found this comment on the GT-R Register?

"Can't understand this obsession with long stroke motors, Nissan made a lovely short stroke unit with superb rod ratios, then folks want to turn it into a slow revving, shakey old lump like the Toyota 2JZ-GTE twin turbo lump. 2.5 rules."

[Count Grantleyish]

huh?

i second that

Only Some???

The very fast examples of a make and model is the yard stick in any argument. Some are convinced in its total superiority instantly and in this case anything else, like the awesome 2JZ becomes rubbish.

Mario develops a very high revving 1300 hp engine and it's used in all sorts of arguments. Have a look in the 'Tomei RB28 stroker' thread.

I remember distinctly, a few years ago, HKS cam gears were the most popular in the market. Everryone wanted them. One day, Mario made a comment about how the HKS cam gears were not suited to his high load, high rpm engine. From that moment on it was quite common to read people rubbishing the HKS cam gears. Some people wanted to sell theirs and replace them.

I'd say all

[funkymonkey]

yes that's right its the stupidest idea ever, and you guys should sell all your stroker kits, so I can buy one really cheap.

good one geeza.

Emre, go to sleep.

I quite like a short stroke motor - they rev nicely. A square motor is fine too, they also rev pretty well. It's just long stroke engines that I really don't like. e.g. the Falcon 4L.

Calling the 2JZ a bad engine because it's got a longer stroke is taking it a little far though.

[Intensevil]

thats just plain stupid. 2jz have crazily strong internals too. Stock internals have broken over 600hp and they rev out pretty high as well

Just did 2x 9 hour flights on BA 747's full of Poms. Im off travelling to England 4EVER, but Scotland Wales and Ireland are on the cards.

A short stroke engine will make revs, at the expense of torque and VV but it depends upon your application.
