i want to use rb26 crank to stroke it

then do i need to use 26 pistons and rods or can i use 25 ones

thanks for any help

Whats your budget dude?

If you use the RB26 crank, rods i think the RB25 pistons.

Someone will confirm as a lot have done it.

I just used the RB25 crank/26 rod/25 piston

it is going into a stagea so i want about 300kw

so i can just use a forged 26 crank rods and pistons

what the deck height will the pistons go to high

26 rods and crank and pistons will do it. Same deck height and rod length remember.

25 pistons on 26 rod and crank would be sitting proud of the block at TDC

so BD Dave i can just 26 crank and rods and pistons and i wont have to do anything to the block or

26 crank has longer stroke, rods are equal (in size, but 26`s are stronger), pistons are different. block height is the same, head cc is almoust th same (25 a bit smaller)

26 or aftermarket rods is a must as 25 rods are weak.

26 crank + 25 pistons will have CR too high or what BHDave said.

The best option is 26 crank+rods+pistons in 25 block. i do the same thing for myself now.

You have to check that there's sufficient clearance in the block for the longer throw crank and the big ends of the rods, so maybe a bit of machining there (some one will have to confirm as i haven't dummied one up to check). As you'd probably put in new pistons anyway it's just a matter of machining the bore to suit the new pistons (assuming .5 oversize).

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
