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

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
