Well mate your still a kid to me. You seem to have the knowledge of sweet fcuk all about skylines. Maybe you should stick to what you know and quit harrassing people who actually do.

I for one am getting tired of you really fast. Clean it up or be cleaned up.

600hp at the wheels? i wouldnt have thought it was that much, but i wont argue.

You guys talking about overbore etc, i dunno about the other kits, but the OS Giken 3L kit makes the extra 400cc from additional crank stroke making the engine 26mm higher. (It uses a spacer plate for the extra height.) Making bore and stroke 86mmX86mm (same as supra 2JZ).

I am no engine expert, but wouldnt that be done with no thickness bored from any wall, or if there was, very minimal????
Thus ur argument about engine wall thickness not applying to this kit?

As far as I know, those hp numbers for japanese GTR's are hp at the wheels, not at the engine.
But I have never heard of 1600hp, HKS having 1400 is the most I have heard of, and thats at the wheels.

Anyone care to comment on the OS Giken kit and how it weakens the block?

Croydon had a Greddy 2.7 kit... HKS sells 2.8's


I thought they were still 2.7 but they are standard bore...


There is/are fixes.....

Croydon claims over 1100 hp now...

Nemesis,

Good one


Back to the question at hand. Any engine producing large amounts of power is on borrowed time.

Highlight that - make it bold........ if people dont think that - they have never actually built or raced a car.....

ANY engine producing large amounts of power is on borrowed time..... ANY engine...

People may try and say some stuff about 1000 hp V12's or 1000 hp V-8's..... but for specifics - as far as displacement vs hp... they are on borrowed time.... if you took the 1000 hp V-12 or V-8 and tried to make 2000 hp - it would probably break....

Well spoken mate

Any how, I'm interested about that OS Ginken kit phatdex is talking about.

The OS Giken kit is the 3L kit used in Marios GTR700 project car that a few ppl have talked about.
Very very expensive. U buy a whole engine already put together, I dunno for sure, think $30K AUS just for the engine.
