My friend

if I use RB20 Crank at RB26 block what will happen is any one tried, As you know the conrods is short and I think it will give me high RPM but the problem with stroke is low.

Please I need your advice.

Have a look about 6 months ago.

Guy did it, wouldnt go into much detail so its safe to assume one of two things

1. He was talking shit

2. Is cost a lot of time, and money and probably isnt worth the effort

Plus, when a 26 crank works just fine, not sure why you would bother

1. i wasn't talking shit

2. It took a fair bit of time, i was looking at trying to see if i could do it and have it commercially viable, and for me it was worth the effort.

The reason to not just use a 26 crank, is because almost with out exception no matter what your application, more capacity will be better.

I did it by offset grinding the rod journals down from rb30 size to rb26 size, taking a little bit of stroke out as i went down. Final stroke was 83.2mm. i used standard length Eagle rb26 rods, i rebushed them to 22mm gudgeon pin size (but you can leave them at 21mm pin if desired) . Then used custom forged pistons. Yes the rod to stroke ratio ends up fairly poor. But it doesn't seem to to have any serious adverse effects on the engine. The car has low mounts, runs pulp, 18psi, makes 406rwkw, pulls hard from 4000, and pulls harder than an under sexed school kid from 5000 through to 8800. The engine revs freely and smoothly, and is sweet all the way through to the just short of 9000rpm rev limit. There is also counter weight modification required.

Ill be the first to admit, a longer rod to stroke ratio is better, and the the OS is an awesome bit of gear. But for me it was just time, so it was certainly worth it, who wouldn't want 2.9L? It worked out that i can do the cranks finished ready to go for $2500 dollars, this is nitrided, and with a crank collar fitted. Standard rods will not clear the block, so you need an aftermarket rod like an eagle or crower, and then of course custom pistons. So all up it works out a lttle cheaper than say an HKS stage 1 kit, but most people like brand names, so i've only had a little interest.

Hope that helps, feel free to ask any questions.

instead of using an RB20 crank, use 2x SR20det cranks, cut one cylinder off each and weld them together, it'll allow you to rev upto round 13000rpm...

how I can cut the cylinder and make it who can make it properly it will not fit will.

You will need to bake the crank in the oven for 45 minutes on 180deg to make sure the araldite cures properly, that way you can reliably rev it to 13000rpm. Also use rb20 pistons so you have plenty of piston/bore clearance. Might rattle a bit but it wont sieze. Be sure to run an 85w/140 oil, the thin stuff can sometimes cause the araldite to lose its grip, cant rely totally on the electrical tape to hold it together.......

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
