I don't know anything about RK, but I know with most shops, it would depend on how much money you want to spend. The fire rings, the headwork, and the cams, are probably optional. The basic motor package will probably just be rods and pistons.

Why put bigger valves in a head that will not need them. Why fire ring an engine that doesnt need it, and why sleeve a block that youre not sure will need it? All these fancy words sound good and the idea behind them is good, but the flip side is what i mentioned above Replying on a personal account now, sorry Im not trying to start anything but only shine light on pretty damn important things for people to see and understand. |

Second, no one knows where they're going with this build. There will be a point, where building the head, would be beneficial. 1,500hp, 2,500hp, 3,500hp, who knows. I would think even the block sleeves, have a limit. There is a reason companies make billet blocks for GTRs.To me, it's all future proofing. You'd rather build strengthen a $40,000 motor, before you put a few windows in it, and it needs to be replaced. They're already making a single turbo kit, for it. Sky's the limit on this build.

As someone that has had both a built gtr, ams built tt r8 and a variation of other built vehicles, it’s obvious why certain shops succeed and some dont Rk is selling an unproven product to customers, bottom line. Im just curious to see how long they continue doing business like this, and by this, i mean selling untested stuff on these platforms. It sucks to see people fall for their fancy words and pictures in their descriptions of a product that doesnt work What other industries produce and push untested stuff? Exactly Gonna be a fun |

Maybe you're right you don't need to go to these extremes, or it could possibly even have a detrimental effect on performance... Who knows, but I guess we will never know if nobody actually attempts it. Just like any other industry, trial and error is a good thing (not at the customers expense though - but as mentioned above does not look like that is what they are doing here - it clearly states this is the shop's car). So I say carry on RK Autowerks! and keep us updated, you've definitely got my interest.

I'm impressed by the civility of the responses.
Not what I'm used to coming from WSTI or GTRLife forums.
