Performance Benefits
Increasing stroke to 77.7 mm raises displacement to approximately 2.8 litres, delivering significant gains across the usable RPM range:
-
Major improvements in low and mid-range torque
-
Earlier turbo spool and improved throttle response
-
Increased peak power capability
-
Designed to handle extreme cylinder pressure and RPM
This combination is ideally suited to large-frame turbochargers, drag racing, roll racing, and high-end street builds where reliability at extreme power levels is non-negotiable.
Designed for Extreme RB Builds
Every component in the Extreme 2.8L stroker kit has been selected to support:
-
High boost pressure
-
Aggressive tuning strategies
-
Sustained high RPM operation
-
Long-term durability under extreme load
This is a no-compromise RB bottom-end package, built for customers who want maximum strength with flexibility to tailor components based on power goals.
Important Fitment Note
Note: Depending on block casting and assembly tolerances, minor conrod-to-block clearancing may be required during installation.
EN40B vs 4340 – Crankshaft Material Comparison
| Feature | EN40B Billet Steel | 4340 Billet Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Use | Motorsport / High-End Performance | Performance Automotive |
| Alloy Type | Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum Steel | Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum Steel |
| Core Strength | Excellent | Very Good |
| Fatigue Resistance | Exceptional | Very Good |
| Torsional Strength | Very High | High |
| Nitriding Response | Outstanding | Good |
| Surface Hardness (Post-Nitriding) | Very High | High |
| High RPM Stability | Excellent | Very Good |
| Resistance to Micro-Cracking | Superior | Good |
| Suitability for Extreme Cylinder Pressure | Preferred | Suitable |
| Typical Power Range | 2,000+ hp applications | Up to ~1,500 hp (application dependent) |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
Summary:
4340 billet steel remains an excellent choice for many high-performance RB25 and RB26 builds.
EN40B is a premium upgrade, selected for engines operating at extreme power levels, high boost, and sustained high RPM where fatigue resistance and long-term reliability are critical.
