hi all.

as the title states, why does haveing the bore and stroke the same (or similar) size make it capable of reving high? if im wrong dont flame me cos this is just what I have been told. by a very knowledgeable bloke, so i believe him.

cheers guys.

james.

yeah, i dont know if square (same bore as stroke) motors are rev happy, motors with less stroke than bore tend to be more like that. take RB26 VS 2JZ, the 2JZ being square, this is one of the reasons they hold together so much longer than the RB26, coz they dont really have to rev to make the power.

Of course the bore x stroke is not a be all end all of how hard a motor can rev. (Note; the valvetrain design is also very important!) For example, the Honda B18C was actually undersquare, despite the fact that it revs easy to 8000rpm+.

motors with a very short stroke are capable of revving significantly harder than motors with equal bore/stroke, or longer stroke.

A motor with a long stroke, however is capable of producing more torque at a lower RPM.

This is why the SR20 makes MORE torque than the RB20 whilst having the same capacity.

i don't think there is a rule for stroke vs rpm. it partly comes down to the design of the rest of the motor. the cams and timing and valve ports, etc would play a role in it too.

but it is also a case of what the motor is being used for. if you have an engine that revs itself into next week, and want to use it for towing, it isn't going to be very good, but if you have an engine with a nice long stroke, then it is going to have bucket loads of torque so it will just chug along.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
