Can someone tell me what valve sizes in RB26 and.......sorry SK :)

No Problems, valve details follow;

RB26 Valve Specs

--------------Head-------Stem------Length------Tip

Intake-----34.65mm----6.00mm----102.40mm----3.5mm

Exhaust----30.15mm----6.91mm----101.55mm----3.5mm

:P

I got my block last week and after removing the head gasket noticed that there was a '2' stamped on each of the pistons and next to each cylinder on the deck.  Is this an indication that the cylinders have been bored?  The hone in the cylinders is pretty good considering the engine has 200,000k on it

These numbers are grades or tolerances. Nissan has 5 grades for the RB30. I guess this is one reason for thier reliability.

Dropped the RB30DET in last night.. ohhh it looks sooo damn sexy.. hopefully we can get it running tonight!!!

Im pretty excited :mad: shame I have to run it in and cant hammer it straight away :mad:

how different will the rb30det sound and how different will it be to drive?

ohhh RB30DET :(

sounds very tough. Mine is quiter than Joels rb20det on idle, but my exhaust is still very restrictive...

Driving..well very diferent. Coming from the rb20 backround its a bigger step than going from the rb25 like yourself. More torque on take off.....ie wheelspin off boost

OMG. You guys have no idea how awesome a RB30DET is. i can now drive everywhere in 5th gear unless i go under 30ks an hour.. then i gotta go down to 4th.....

I am just stoaked. this thing is unbelievable.

what max power can you get outta standard rb25det injectors with a rb30det ?

Interestingly I have seen more power than when they were in the RB25DET. I believe it is because the rpm to make that power is lower, so the injectors can be open longer. An example, if I made 225 rwkw with the RB25 it would be at say 6,250 rpm. That means there is about 5/1000th's of second for each injector to be open. But if I could make say 270 rwkw with the RB30 at 5,100 rpm, then the injector could be open for 6/1000th's of second. This 1/1000th of a second longer time open means 20% more fuel, so that's why you can get 20% more power.

Obviously engine efficiency makes a difference, but I suspect that probably adds to the advantage because a fresh (run in) RB30 is proably going to be more efficient than an RB25 with the usual K's on it.

I have only one real world experience where we got 475 bhp out of the RB30 on the engine dyno. I have never seen more than the equivalent of 390 bhp out of an RB25 with the same injectors.

That should stir up some comments I am sure. :D

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
