Here are some pix of the RB34 stroker:

The crank still needs the main journals ground, then final balance, shotpeen, nitride, and give it a good polish and clean.

Any comments or questions appreciated.

The crank is a customised standard item, the rods are custom h beams but the pistons are off the shelf .040" OS (87mm) with a 22mm pin.

I will post up some more pix of the crank when its done.

Ive taken all the casting dags off the webs of the crank, but now rust has formed on it from sitting around too long. :(

I might bore out an rb30 block soon, see what size bore i can sleeve it to aswell.

RB36 maybe???

ill probably get shot down for this but,

If your off your p's why bother?

Drop in a v8 if you dont like turbo 25's or 26's? Seems like a complete waste of money. Throw in a lexus v8 or something and they are about $1000!

Sorry I don't understand, if there is something im missing please feel free to tell me

even if the v8 is only $1000 you would still have all the other engineering costs of custom engine mounts, different gearbox or adaptor plate, wiring would be a pain. so the cost could end up being similar to building the rb34de

then in the end you dont end up with a skyline cus its not all nissan.

NA_r33 is different cus he used a nissan V8 :D

of all the N/A skyline motors rb30de has to be the best of the easyily built N/A. rb34de can only be better :laugh: plus the sound of the rb34.. mmmmmmmm

once he gets it all done. im sure if you went for a ride in it you would understand why he did it.

thats what i have done with all the people who said why you spending all that $$ just to run it as N/A. now they like it ;)

The reason i have developed an RB34:

Im an engine reconditioner so all the machining etc i do,

is to my standard and it doesnt cost me anything.

I am building 2 of these RB34's the other one will be a large single turbo (GT3540) and more than likely have full boost by 3000 RPM.

But if you dont understand ross80 then....

You obviously have some interest in a NA 6?

The strokers will be reliable - they are being built with new forged components with extra attention on radii with 20% more bearing area and other critical operations.

If you build/tune your turbo engine right u shouldnt destroy them....Obviously.

You keep blowing standard engines i assume?

ive been scared by some rb30e na before

the guy i bought my wheels off had full 2.5 exhaust, no cat and extractors, cam, xf tb proted plenum 3" intake, unifilter and no ac

i got a stocker rb30 with a bolt on turbo kit and i allmost lost to that :0 i was loaded up with people and wheels tho

I win out of the L series motors L24e injected upgrade fuel pump and injectors l26 nismo cams grinded for more Duration modified microtech d5 and double valve springs just need my flat top pistons hardened valves and extractors and i am finished conservative estimate 125kw current once finished probaly close to 150-160kw :O

I think theres another NA engine from Nissan that gets completely over-looked,

the VG30DE. I know it's a vee, but my NA sounds real sweet. :domokun:

With little mods you can get over 200kw @ flywheel.

Over engineered and tough as, with serious mods and Nos, who knows?

Stock internals on a TT can handle nearly 400+ kw.

All you need is big enough bay. >_<

ps; that yellow NA zed in those HPI dvds runs 10 sec 1/4.

Using NOS like that Z has sortof makes it not an NA accomplishment, unfortunately. Also, the thread is specifically about straight 6s - not saying they are better.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
