Just looking at the ACL site, it shows that the RB25 / RB26 pistons are different in 2 areas:

Crown volume - RB26 = 16.3cc, RB25 = 11.5cc

Comp Height - RB26 = 30.3mm, RB25 = 31.3mm

I think the Comp Height difference means you will smash a RB25 piston into the head of a RB26, because the piston sits higher on the gudgeon pin / small end.

I would imagine most others are the same.

And RB265 / RB26 have different stroke, so you probably can't use the same rods either.

well your totally wrong about the rods they fit either engine, the rb26 has 2 more mm's of stroke but it has 1 mm less of compreson height, and the dome cc's compensate for the extra mm of stroke thats my theory ive talked to soem engine builders in the states and they told me ill be fine i entered all the calculations on my engine calculator shows 8.1 compresion just want to knwo if thiers something im missing or if thiers something that wont fit

Why ask if you're going to research and find the answer yourself???

Big mistake.............Good luck! ;)

You cannot use the rb25 pistons in the 26, due to different deck height, comp height, gudgeon pin height.

I say we let him work it out himself as he's gotten some excellent advice................

Yup, a good bloke.........

He may have been through some shit man, but it doesn't excuse talking to people like shit trying to help him.

He's getting advice, he should be thankful and not take what he's being given for granted, even if his mates in the US know everything.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?

      I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
