I have received the 2 x 95mm stroke cranks. I am going to build a new bottom end for my engine using one of them. I will use the exact same supporting parts ( head, turbo, cams, exhaust etc etc ) as on my current RB30/25. This way I can do a back to back comparison between the two engines ( apples to apples ) and overlay the two dyno charts. By doing this there will be something to compare the stroker crank setup to, as opposed to just building a completely new engine and having no base as a comparison.

I am just waiting on the new rods to go with the cranks and I can start the build.

Ill post up some pics of the cranks soon.

I used a grub screwed, machined and balanced, nitrated standard crankshaft (Nizpro spec??) .. should hold up with most, I was told that should be good for 800+HP.

are the cranks balanced? or knife edged like the other stroker cranks?

sounds very intresting, hope it goes smooth the build up and has some nice improvments throughout the power range.

what sort of price is this kit?

I've been playing around with an engine dyno/ calculator simulator and its calculated roughly a before and after figures of horse power torque etc with the stroker crank

(as long as i have had all of the motors figures including flow figures at each measured level, i have gotten very similar to what has been acheived on a real dyno -/+ 1-3hp)

all 4 have exactly the same specs as you will see, though what is not shown is both have a 64cc in combustion chamber, 10cc piston dome, 4cc valve releif in piston and a flush deck height

this is not a garanteed before and after power results with the stroker crank but a simulation/ comparasion of what results may be expected with only change in stroke, results will vary depending on supporting internal and external componants

Non-Turbo

i have also added a turbo set up, everthing is still exactly the same, just with a turbo of which i chose from a drop down menu in the program. I am also aware that different turbos and supporting mods will change the end results

Be interesting to see what numbers that program gives for a 3L and then overlay the power/torque curves on the same graph, give a nice visual representation of where in the rev range the gains will be had.

I will be assembling the new stroker bottom end soon. The custom rods arrived today

This will be run on my exact same setup that I have used with the 3.0L bottom end. Same turbo, head, comp ratio, cams, exhaust, etc etc

So I will be able to overlay my previous setup compared with the stroker engine ( ie dyno power and torque curves )

So a straight up comparison will be available.

Trial cranks due next week

post-220-1250841471_thumb.jpg

So looks like these are not full counter weighted (assume the pic is of the 95mm stroker crank) I would have thought if you were going to the effort of building a custom crank it would be fully counter weighted?

Would the 95mm stroke generate more harmonics and having it full counter weighted might help reduce some of this? I am not an engine builder or engineer so just putting this out there for others more in the know to reply with more logical info.

Love the idea :) of a 3.4l hmm if my RB26DE powered 260z (shell still in bits) does not cut it looks like I might have to consider installing one of these stroker crank like this into a RB30 bottom end and slap on my 26 head for 3.4L of NA power

Yeah I was going to say how did you do all the calculations for the size and shape of the counter weights and balance it?

As these are the trial / prototype cranks we just copied the std crank. The std crank does a terrific job and sees 10000 rpm in serious drag engines. Why reinvent the wheel. Having said that - if I have any dramas with these cranks its an easy job to have the next version redrawn into full counter weight cranks.

I have had the cranks checked and balanced here in Oz - all good.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
