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)

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.

      Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly

      oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
