I am building a few RB26's, everything is fine and dandy but since I am from Canada no machinist here has any factory information about the RB engines. Sooooo I need to know all factory clearances and torque settings and patterns for the RB26. Pretty much all the information my machinist will need will be very helpful!

I am also fixing the oil drive since these are all early R32 engines and I’ve herd of you guys welding the snout then c and c afterwards. Anyway my machinist doesn’t think welding should be done unless it has to be so I was wondering if you guys have pressed on those JUN collars for the oil drive. I need full oil drive on these cranks because the people I sell these cars to are stupid and want it. I normally just over fuel the car and ditch the rev limit but these guys just want the drive to be good.

Any who thanks for your help, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Mod can move it where needed.

I have an early rb26 crank at the machine shop for the oil pump drive mod.

They are machining down the snout to shink fit a billet sleeve which they will machine down to factory spec of the later crank.

I've been assured by these guys that setscrews will not be necessary if the collar is done this way.

of the top of my head..

being a sissan six just pretend its an L series.

oil clearance 1-1.8thou both on big ends and mains

(1.8 is better)

piston to bore clearance 1.2-2 thou

ring end gaps as per usual such and such thou per inch of bore.

head bolts 110nm

not sure on bigends or maines.

have to get back to you with that :D

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
