Must be a higher turnover for RB26 - cause surely the rods arent THAT much different

well- they are longer

but not $40 worth of metal longer each :)

mebe ppl just think RB30 rods are awesome and should just be left as is :D

doubt it- the extra ~11mm of stroke would cancel out the extra rod length. and the piston speed would be slower on an RB26 at the same revs anyway

And the rod ~31mm longer. That's more than an inch. Tell me that an extra inch isn't all that handy?

It's all about the angles. . The extra crank throw is halved, so it's not the full amount of the extra stroke (11.23) But you do get the full rod length difference (30.9). And if you needed to spin the 30 to the same revs you'll be flowing alot more. Stroke:rod is a bit better at 1.79 on the 30, 1.64 on the 26.

Haha and at the end of the day the angle works out to be a bit more than 1 degree.

But isn't all this rubbish in the RB30 thread?

ps I think the rods are more expensive on the 30 as they are more popular, and he isn't moving any of the 26 stock at all. Liquidation time!

but he's not using a 26 crank in a 30 block- so it's no different to a normal RB30

since when do economies of scale make the more popular parts more expensive? Ferraris are popular and expensive, but only coz they don't make many of 'em. i reckon it's just because people use expensive aftermarket rods in 30's less often.

I always knew that the angle of the dangle was proportional to the lust of the thrust.
Dammit I thought it was the throb of the knob. No wonder I've been getting it wrong.

Steve: no probs. I have a fair amount of hoarder's rubbish that I'll list up as freebies, just need to get the motivation to list it all.

lol!

Yeah thats cool, seeing as you're so close let me know and ill come take your hoarders rubbish an turn it onto my hoarders rubbish :) But yeah, let me know what you have lying around :P

Heya, it's mainly odds and ends from RB motors. Some of it might be worth a couple of dollars, some of it not really. Have got sumps, intakes, exh manifolds, wiring looms, CPUs, oil block plates, injectors, pipework, turbos, dry sump bits, brakes, rear end parts, rods etc. One of those things I keep meaning to post up but never get around to. And at the moment everything is piled up ontop of each other in an effort to give me space to work on my car, so access is a bit of a bitch.

i'm in need of a stock RB26 sump if you have one doughy? not after a freebie though will happily stump up some cash if you've got one.

Have got a GTS-4 one and a 26 one. Was meant to be checking the ratio on the GTS-4 one for someone (I forget, yes I am lazy but I still remember I need to do that one day). I'll PM you midweek and let you know what ratios they are.

I admit that it's not really rubbish, just stuff that has no interest for me anymore. Not when there are 3 V8's sitting here, with 2 over 1500hp....

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
