gday

i have an r32 with an RB20DET and i have been having some trouble with my enging and to much pressure in the bottom of the engine.

i start the car up no smoke rev it to 3 or 4 grand and blows heaps of smoke like clouds of the shit,

i have done a compression test and it came back with 120psi accross all 6 cylenders.

i pulled the breathers off that go to the rocker covers and reved the same no oil untill i snap off the acceleraitor and then everything gets covered it had a habbit of blowing out the dipstick which im guessing is the same issue of to much pressure, i have replaced the pvc valve and no change.....

and im running out of options does any 1 know what the issue could be??

im thinking it could be either a cracked piston or maybe rooted rings...

it still runs well and goes pretty hard exept for the smoke......

thanks Blackrz

hey blackas sysmptoms sound the same as my engine was in its early stages of its death, mine was lower on compression in 2 of the cylinders tho, when the engine was stripped for rebuild, lowest cylinders had the sides burnt 0ut of the piston the others cracked rings, get it check by sumone who knows what they are on about. think you pressurise the sump and do the reverse of the compression test to find out if its blowing back through or sumthing like that. any way good luck or maybe time for a 25

if you get the chance drop into pro automotive in moonah and ask andrew to have a look - it will take 15 mins of your day and he will give it to you straight, no bullshit and then there wont be anymore guessing and wondering about it - he will tell you whats wrong and what needs to be done from here to get it peaking again :P

This might be off the money but my mate had the same problem (exact) with his car. Would not blow smoke till high in the rev range and he did blow his dip stick clean out of its home. Turned out to be a seal in the turbo going and it pressurized the oil feed line back through to the crank case and blew the dip stick out. Just a thought....

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      Nismo rear spats

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Rb26/30 build

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      Rb26/30 build

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
