HKS Nissan GTR Short Block RB26 3.0L STEP 3

HKS is well-known for its high-performance parts and tuning for Japanese vehicles, and this RB26 3.0L STEP 3 short block is a prime example of their dedication to the Nissan GTR. This is a serious upgrade for GTR owners looking to build a powerful and reliable engine. It takes the legendary RB26 engine and expands its displacement to 3.0 liters, which is a key step in increasing its potential for more horsepower and torque.

This STEP 3 package includes a fully assembled short block, meaning the crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons are already installed and balanced. The increased displacement comes from a larger stroke crankshaft and larger bore pistons, carefully selected by HKS to work together. The connecting rods and pistons are also upgraded to handle the higher stresses of a performance engine. This assembly is balanced as a complete unit to ensure smooth operation at high RPMs. This is a substantial foundation for a custom GTR engine build, designed to support significant power increases over the stock engine.

When building a high-performance engine like this, it's important to consider all the supporting components. This short block is designed to be a core part of a larger build, and you will need to source other essential engine parts such as the cylinder head, camshafts, fuel system, and engine management system to complete the engine. Because this is a specialized performance part, it is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper assembly and break-in procedures.
