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

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
