There are only 3 ways to achieve over 2.8 litres, so it's not hard to work through them. I eliminated the 86/84mm combo as it gives 29.3 not 29.5. If I had known it was that capacity then the combo is obvious, although I still don't like the rod stroke ratio.

A questions if I may;

Why did you go for 86mm? Since you have to use tall liners I would have thought 87mm would have been more user friendly, plus give some more (0.7L) capacity.

Cheers

Gary

I chose 86mm as it leaves a little more rigidity in the block, and allows me to go up .5 or 1mm later if need be.

Capacity is 2.93, but everyone rounds up don't they?? so 2.95 was closest.

cheers,

Ben

Well its Friday night and 7.02pm and still at work...trying to break into the safe so that i can have the R32 with the mostest ;)

Firstly, this is one of the better viral marketing campaigns I've seen, onya Benno!

Secondly, and this is close to my heart and for that matter my wallet, how does one get rid of the heat that this engine would generate on the track. My measly 350kw is sending my water temps into the oh shit zone after 3 laps on a 28 degreee day.... :banana:

How the hell did Gibson and the boys do it for 1,000 k's. :P

shouldnt u just round down to 2.9? only time i've seen capacity mentioned to 2 decimal places is on the old 6.75 bentley motors...

anyway what turbos? are they custom pistons? what cams? spill motherfcuker!! :(:)

U don't happen to have a 6.3 AMG do you?

LOL just kidding. Congrat for the great result.

My T517Z produced similar results on a stroked RB as well. I wish I didn't leave the dyno in the car in SA and can post it up for comparision.

Keen to know what turbo you used?

Very flash Ben, or rather impressivie as I know you are not a flashy guy. Awesome dyno graph also.

Starting to look like a 300zx dyno graph although mine was on race fuel so not same. lol Waiting..........

Extra bit of engine capacity and stoke gives a lot more down low.

Below is my Z dyno graph on the rleft compared to two RB26 GTR's with the middle one with HKS GTRS turbo's and the one far right with lag for sale is T88.

i would like to point out that its not exactly apples to apples...

the rb's are coming on a little later but reving a lot further.

useful rev range and average power in this band is what u want :D

50 mm PWR radiator

Large Oil cooler, mounted in the side vents (NOT in front of the radiator)

Tube and fin intercooler (NOT bar and plate)

If you are consistenbtly using more than 8,000 rpm (on the track) then an N1 water pump is worthwhile

Make sure you bleed ALL of the the air out of the coolant system

Cheers

50 mm PWR radiator - I have a 40mm one with the shroud - sounds like I need a bigger one

Large Oil cooler, mounted in the side vents (NOT in front of the radiator) - Done - sort of - I have a side mounted HKS 16 row one - maybe need a bigger one.

Tube and fin intercooler (NOT bar and plate) - doh - have an AVO bar and plate

If you are consistenbtly using more than 8,000 rpm (on the track) then an N1 water pump is worthwhile - Got one

Make sure you bleed ALL of the the air out of the coolant system - New engine - I assume that is ok.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
