Hey forum I am at a stand still with my rebuild and just need some expert opinions to get going again. Ok here is the deal I am currently in the process of rebuilding my engine, lost the ring on number six so since it had to open up neway I decided to strengthen it up a bit. I just changed the head gasket to a thicker cometic one and got a set of forgies the wiseco 87mm, all the other little things are getting done as well (oil pump, water pump, tensioners, timing belt etc...,) and what I want to know is if its just as simple as boring out the block to fit the bigger pistons. My main reason for going bigger and forge was to get my monies worth out the rebuild and engine strength for when I fit a bigger turbo. The specs on the piston can be found here http://www.wiseco.com/PDFs/Catalogs/SC08/NissanSubaruToyotaVW.pdf and I just wanted to know if I will run into any problems fitting these pistons, will still be using all original engine parts only the head gasket and pistons will be changed. So can these pistons be fitted to the same conrods and crank do I have to worry bout squish and quench and all that other technical stuff I have been reading up on? I am not looking for any particular compression or trying to build a superior race engine just want to strengthen the engine a bit and get my car back on the road with a somewhat stronger engine. I just want to get it bored drop the pistons in with the new head gasket and close it up.Can this be done or willI have problems?

So you want to make the engine stronger but you want to bore it out to 87mm? If something happens and the engine does have to be re bored you have to go custom pistons next time. Why not get 86.5mm pistons or even 86mm if the bores are still good?

I was thinking that as well but wiseco does not make 86mm for the rb25 only 86.5mm. If i were to get the 86.5mm it will still have to be bored so I just went with the 87 mm as I was thinking it will handle more boost and increase comp ratio a bit. Do you know of any compny that are affordable and have the rb25 standard size pistons forged?

Should have gone for the 86.5mm pistons.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
