I think the RB30 gets it's bigger capacity by having a longer stroke. you could just stroke the RB26

I forgot to add the TT to the end of the VH45DE.  ;D


From what i've read, not only are the internals forged standard, but the capacity can be taken from 4.5L to just over 6.0L in the form of a stroker crank.

you can only stroke an RB26 to 2.9 litres i think before you start jeopardising life span. just get an RB30 and slap on the 26 head and some turbos as mentioned before. the ultimate RB series motor ;)

Now you guys are just getting crazy.  :D

How about getting a CA18DET and buying the Tomei 2L stroker kit. Ive heard they own SR20's once thats been done. However the kit alone costs about 8k from memory..

If you do that, would it make your engine a CA20?  :)

hehe good one :)
Well-well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

as soon as u start to stroke an engine even a little bit its drops the life of the engine. Geez stroking it out to 2.9 litres..... tallk about paper thin.


u can egt ca18dets to own sr20s very easily. They are a great engine in my books. but not better then the fj20  ;D

You are confusing stroking a motor with boring a motor
If you tried to bore a motor out to 2.9 then you would bore right through the walls into the jackets
Mind you this can be done also if done properly - Top fuel racers etc sleeve all there blocks to maintain optimum bore thickness with there overly huge pistons but this method costs big $$$

stroking a motor is where you increase the distance between TDC (top dead center) and BDC (bottom dead center) on the crankshaft
as long as you compensate the extra stroke on the crank with either shorter conrods or repositioned gudgeon pins on the piston to make sure pistons stay in the actual bore betwen these distances you'll be fine

stroking a motor will not reduce the life expectancy of an engine as stroking by itself doesn't change the bore size in your motor

on the whole ca18det with a 2 litre stroker kit thing, why not an sr20 with a 2.4 litre stroker kit?

hey fellas,
in my opinion skylines are gettin very common, i see them all the time around the coast, the other day i saw 13 R-33's in erina fair. i prefer the R-32 over any other model, they are sleeker and are the type of car that catchs my eye! but it is true that the final choice is up to you so go with what u like best and what u can afford.
cheers Robby
