thanks that solves allot of problems but i was wondering if the cons are the same thickness. when i looked on ACLs website it sais that the bigends on a 20 are 16.1mm and on the 25/26 its 17.1mm i was wondering if this is the same at the top of the rod as i am planning 2 put the 20 cons into a 25/26/30 piston and dont want to have to pack it out

From our measurements they atr the same it just the bearing cap width thats differant

cheers Peter

thanks for that got all my research now. just need 2 start collecting the rest of the parts. iv been given a 25 block and have a spair 20 for the cons and crank all i need is a head and a set of pistons im bidding on a set of 26 as these will decrease the comp for the turbo otherwise it will b a set of 30s

me again

i was at the libery 2dy n i looked up the vl comodore repair manual (dident have a skyline 1) and it said that the small end pin in a rb20 is 19mm and the rb30 has a 21mm

i was wandering if someone would be able 2 put a micrometer in a rb20 conrod and c what the internal diameter is

iv already tried going 2 part dealers and asking 2 c there catalougues but they seem 1 miss out this detail for the 20s

Doing a good job dude, really interested to see how it works out !!

I don't see why 500rwhp would be a problem with an rb23.

There a rb23/24 in Japan that runs low 10's, thats gotta be close to 500rwhp.

SR20's do 500rwhp to so its not a capacity thing. I think just a matter of getting the intake manifold and head to flow enough air.

Don't be too afraid to have a go at porting yourself. You sound like you have a fair idea. Porting is not the mystical beast a lot of people think it is.

Wish all the rb20 haters would shut up and leave this thread alone though ... Sure sure there is logic to do rb25/26 but why not be diffferent FFS !!

Right on, some inspiration!

My plans have changed a little for the near future.. As much as I'd still love to do this, the car is my daily driver atm.. I dont want to wait 6 months to drive because of parts on order.

For now I'm doing some bolt on power upgrades that will help in the future stroker/built motor, and in the present stock/reliable form.

Fitted my GTR cams - woot!

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
