I have 2 questions and I will start a seperate thread for the other one which will probably get a one sided response... anyway.. for this topic..

Closed deck and so forth are frequently spoken about in Subawho circles in regards to the engine.

apparently the RS turbo Liberty's were the only ones with a closed deck and all the WRX ej20's after that have been semi closed deck.. and the NA ej engines are all open deck.

so that's all lovely, but what is it in reference to?

why is closed deck better?

is this "DECK" type something in all engines or just the boxer motors?

if in all engines, what are the RB range of engines?

cheers..

I think hes referring to the combustion chamber in the head the recessed part where the in/out valves are and the spark plug.

Im guessing one type is where its recessed like in rbs..and another type is where maybe its flush or closer to the actual bore/piston?

That would be my interpretation.

"deck" refers to the block

open deck blocks have the cylinder liner un suported by the block up top.

honda and subaru, (except rs-turbo)

semi closed is where the liner is partialy suported up the top. ie youve got the bore with suport bits stoping the liner moving around.

ie:sr20,some hondas.

(open and semi open deck are mostly alloy block engines)

closed deck is where the only gap around the liner is small holes for the water galleries. ie:pretty much all iron block motors.

NIB,

Block guard kits (such as the Nuformz) for Hondas are not as good as you would think... People simply look at it and assume its stronger without considering what they really do...

If OS can build an open deck engine that revs to 13k and makes over 1200hp without a problem then maybe there's something in that. maybe..

Just some info I had lying around. Can't find CA.

R = 6 cylinder, closed deck.

B = Gasoline application using cast iron/nickle based block.

S = 4 cylinder, closed deck.

R= Gasoline application using sand-cast alloy based block.

K = 4 cylinder, closed deck.

A = Gaslone application using sand-cast iron based block.

Q = 4 cylinder, open deck.

R = Gaslone applcation using die-cast alloy based block.

Deck isnt Subaru slang... it simply refers to the top flat surface of the block that mates to the head gasket and cylinder head...

T04gtr,

If the open deck is inferior, then why did OS Giken choose it for their all-conquering RB30?

That's a spacer, the deck (top of the block) is still "closed" where the liner is inserted.

:D cheers :D

T04gtr,

because the "open" part is only very short and made of high quality ductile iron so it doesnt flex silly,not run of the muck cast iron.

besides its abit harder to make a fancy sleeve spacer on a 20k bottom end.lol.

who knows. perhaps they know its bolted/pressed onto a rigid iron block

(couldent find any decant pics of the same motor with a closed vs open deck kthanks subbie)

i hope you not running the factory oil cooler/filter block on that!!!!!!

have fun keeping it coool.

ie: 2 seperate 25 row serk coolers in -10 cant do it, it all bypasses inside the factory oil filter block, 4 valves 2 for the filter 2 for the coolant/oil cooler

in mine anyway, perhaps im special

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
