Thats true..

had any one thought about the possibility that the reason why we can run so much boost and power with the standard internals compared to the VL's is that the RB20/25/26 motors have oil squirters?

Sounds good... I'm going to start looking in to how a RB30 bottom end bolts in to a R32 GTR.

I'm tired of 2wd no traction. :(

I am probably dreaming still as my budget is max 25k. All the GTR's around here I have seen are 35k. And even then the one down on Anzac Highway (Silver One) has had a few bingles as the gaps etc don't line up and the under body has been freshly painted. Some thing just didn't look right with it.

Ive said this before in previous threads. If u get hyper pistons, i sure as hell hope u dont drive in summer, cause a just a few seconds of ping and u can blow a hole in em. And hey there also alot more likely to ping too due to the higher silica content refecting more heat into the combustion chamber.

Cheap

Fast

Reliable

Pick any 2.

Hi guys, Its pretty simple really, an RB30 being a 2 valve engine does not flow as well as RB20/25/26's with their 4 valve heads. So to make decent power they have to run a lot of boost, rule of thumb 5 to 6 psi more to make the same power. Such high boost requires lower compression ratios, rule of thumb 0.5 lower for the same power.

My experience, comparing compression ratios for 2 and 4 valve heads is a waste of time. On the flow bench we typically see 30% more flow out of 4 valve heads with similar capacity.

Hope that adds to the discussion.

Another thing with Hypereutectic pistons is they tend to shatter rather than just break or crack ring lands like cast or forged pistons. Also some forged pistons also have a high silicone content so be careful if your thinking of running Nitrous.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
