Hi all,

Im investigating stroker engine recipie's. How does the spacer block get attached to the top of the rb26 block?

I presume there is some drilling and bolting down of additional studs to locate the plate while it and the bores's are bored out for the sleve's?

Last question... How is the spacer sealed to the top of the block so there is no water or oil leaks? is the spacer block o-ring'd around ther water galleries and perhaps using a copper gasket around the oil galleries... or do they block oil all together and run external oil lines?

Or perhaps part or all of the above?

Just curious..

Cheers,

Ian

You'd think gasket each side of spacer.

Extra long head bolts etc that go through the spacer to the block to hold it in place

different belt and all that to go with it of course.

Oil/water etc would meet, just makes it longer travel, although with oil mods probably some blanked off or restricted still

I thought the spacer would have been bored to the same size as the cylinder bores, and then the sleaves would be pressed into the spacer AND the block, holding the two together?

I guess the sleaves would have to be decked to the same height as the spacer block while the spacer is torqued to the same spec it would be with a head on it, when there is a gasket under it.

just get an RB30 block and build it

save the f**k around

There are a lot of good reasons to consider going down spaced block path which i sure we dont need to debate here.

just get an RB30 block and build it

save the f**k around

the OS giken RB30 stroke kit is alot less f**king around compared to using a RB30 block

my is under going a RB30 + RB26 cylinder head in his R32 GTR and nothing fits

he regrets not going with the OS giken 3L stroker kit now

That the reason right there. Its not as big a deal in a 2wd skyline (althoough it does take some effort), a gtr is a whole diferent situation.

It makes looking at short rod stroker engines like the Tomei 2.8 kit and what Mark99 did with a 2.9lt in an RB26 block worth investigating.

the only thing a OS kit will help with fitting is the sump because you wont need an adapter plate

your still gonna have issues with the height using an OS motor or an RB30 block

personally i just dnt like the idea of spacer plates and extra gaskets etc

i like to keep things simple

i had no problems fitting my RB30 but then again it wasn't in a GTR

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
