hello,

i want to put rb26 pistons and rods in my rb25 block leaving rb25 crank. As i know rb26 piston have ~ 2mm lower pin location and CR of such conversion will be to low -- lower than 8.5. What can be done to leave CR in between 9-8.5?

to deck 2mm fron the block -- yes that`s the only way i was thinking about. I want to use rb26 pistons as they are stronger than rb25.

p.s. Well maybe if i can find neo 25 pistons -- i can use them. But they are still weaker the 26`s.

The RB26 runs a bigger stroke and same sized rods as the rb25.

For all that to fit within the rb25's deck height (which is the same as the rb26) they run a piston with a lower pin/compression height.

There's a bloke here in Adelaide that stroked his rb26 out to an rb29 using a destroked (machined) rb30 crank, rb26 rods and custom pistons with a very very small pin/compression height.

NEO pistons will lower your compression, once again why? Aftermarket rb25 forgies are getting quite cheap, and depending on your power level, probably unnecessary, stock pistons are good for 300 rwkw at least safely "IF TUNED CORRECTLY"(NISMOID did your car havee stock internals?With 350 rwkw)

The RB26 runs a bigger stroke and same sized rods as the rb25.
But the stroke is controlled by the crank. The stroke is twice the offset of the big-end journal from the centre of the crank.

If he uses a RB25 crank, he will have RB25 stroke. If he has RB25 stroke, then he has RB25 C/R.

I think you have missed what I was getting at. ;)

The Rb26's pin height has been setup as such to suit the stroke, rod length and the blocks height.

If he were to use an rb25 bottom end with rb26 pistons (with their lower pin height) he WILL have end up with a lower static comp and very much less than ideal deck clearance.

i`m back again, thank you for your replies, now i`ll answer your questions:

why i want to use _stock_ pistons (not forged) -- because here, where i live we sometimes have +35 C in summer and -35 C in winter. Forged pistons are pain for a street car with low to moderate power output (imho) and are nearly impossible to use at winter :). that`s why.

what`s my power goals -- 350+. no more than 400 hp at the flywheel. i think it will be enough for me :). In Russia in Far East region where 95% of all cars are used cars from Japan -- experienced skyline tuners say that can be acived at 26 pistons only.

why i don`t want to use 26 crank -- it`s quite expensive if i buy it new and hard to find it in good condition if i buy it used.

The reason i`m doing this -- i mesured compression in my rb25det neo, and it is: 12-12-11.5-10.7-11-12 -- i`m not happy with it so i`m thinking what to do next. i have variants:

1. try to fix my current engine (not interesing, and hard to order parts before disassembling motor)

2. buy 26 motor -- i have a cheap proposal but it has no documents and hard to understand what is inside of this motor. and there is much job to install it.

3. build a mega-motor from my old rb25de -- install oil injectors, good pistons, turbo -- etc. this is the most interesting but i think the most expensive variant.

so now i`m desperate -- i can`t make a decision :mad:

ok, got rb26 crank, pistons and rods at yahoo auctions. no way back :D

Can anyone tell me what CR i will have in a combination of:

rb25 block and head

rb26 pistons, rods and crank

stock head gasket

As far as i know CR will be slightly higher than 8.5 as rb25 combustion chamber is smaller than rb26. rb25 cc volume is 62-64cc, what about rb26?

RB25 std everything is around 8.5:1 (31.3mm comp height, 72mm stroke, 15cc dome)

RB25 w/- RB26 pistons is around 7.8:1 (30.3mm comp height, 72mm stroke, 15cc dome)

RB25 w/- RB26 crank & pistons is around 8.7:1 (30.3mm comp height, 73.7mm stroke, 15cc dome)

this is working on both heads being at 64cc and 1mm head gasket, I measured a 26 head on Thursday and it came out at 64cc. It will vary slightly depending on the dome volume and the head gasket thickness.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
