i am in the proccess of planning to rebuild my engine at the moment, and heard that there's a problem the R32's RB26 oiling system, and my build is aiming the 600-650hp range and i can't afford a NEW crank and they are like 300 000yen +

my question is, will stock rb26 crank support this hp range and be safe ?

what can i do to the stock crank to make it better ?

if i decide to buy a new crank what do you reccormend for CHEAP/Strong crank set up

i will be running N1 water pump so anything that compatible with that will be good

thanks

You can buy a brand new R33 GTR crank for around $1000 but there is a length lead time out of Japan at the moment.

This is one of the most common upgrades for an R32 GTR engine build

I wouldn't be running an N1 water pump on a road car. They are designed to avoid cavitiation as sustained high rpm (as in circuit racing). Not a good idea on high power road car.

There are plenty of problems in RB oiling systems, I strongly suggest you do a search ("Sydneykid" and "+oil+restrictors")

Fitting a wide oil pump drive flange collar to the R32 crank is a good idea, for more details do a search ("Sydneykid" and "+adaptor+collar")

:sweat: cheers :(

hey sydneykid just off topic abit but my rb26 running an n1 water pump and it never ever gets over 1/2 on the temp gauge even after an hour on the dyno, though only light tune to 4000rpm, well see on the proper tune. what point rpm range does it not work correctly? low rpm i'd imagine? i know the blades inside are huge in comparision to my stock old pump.

thanks

Hi Brad, they work great at 4,000 rpm, but they don't work so good at idle, in traffice with the aircon on for a 40 degree day. They simply don't move enough water at low rpm. That's so they don't get cavitation at high rpm. Lots of guys forget what "N1" really means, that is quite specifically designed for circuit racing, sustained high rpm for hours. What N1 doesn't mean is "better than standard in all conditions".

An example, I had a guy chasing a water temp problem in his Targa GTR while driving/idling between events. Tried a low temp thermostat, all that meant was it wouldn't warm up for ages on cold days. It ran rich as, because the ECU thought it was still cold and fouled plugs. He then threw a PWR 50mm radiator at it, still ran hot engine temperatures. He cheaked the head gasket, swappped sensors and gauges, spent heaps and the problem was still there. In desperation he rang me and I asked the obvious question" N1 water pump?". The answer was "yes" so I suggested trying a standard R33GTR water pump. I took me a week to convince him to at least try it. Bingo, no more engine water temp problems.

:P cheers :sleep:

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
