my is engine knocked and a friend of mine has sn rb26dett in which he recently replance his stock pistons with forged ones, he said i could have the stock ones if i wanted. Has anyone tried the swapping rb26dett pistons into the rb25, what time compression could i expect, are the pistons stronger, any info would be appreciated.

ok i have put the pistons in the block using rb25det rods and an rb25det crank, the sides of the pistobns however dont reach the top of the engine block, any idea how this affects the compression ratio

hey kilo_gulf,

those two engines do have the same bore size but have a slightly different stroke.

rb25 has a bore x stroke of 86 X 71.7

rb26 has a bore x stroke of 86 X 73.7

take notice to the 2 mm difference in stroke.

THE PISTONS THAT CAME IN THE MOTOR ARE OK , THERE AFTERMARKET, I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THEM, BUT THEY DONT HAVE A DOME ON TOP LIKE THE RB25DET OR RB26DETT PISTONS, THEYRE FLAT TOPS. I DID A COMPRESSION TEST ON THEM ABOUT A MONT BACK AND THEY AVERAGED BETWEEN 115 TO 120 PSI PER CYLINDER. I DONT KNOW WHY THE PERSON WHO BUILT THE ENGINE WOULD USE THEM MY GUESS IS NITROUS, IN ANY EVENT THATS WHERE I STARTED. THUS WHEN THE RB26 PISTONS BECAME AVAILABLE I JUMPED AT THE CHANCE HOPING FOR BETTER COMPRESSION BUT IT SEEMS ILL BE RIGHT WHERE I STARTED.

    • That's all I needed mate thanks.  For context, we've seen a big number of old accounts being hacked into and then used to post spam. I was wondering if yours had also.  I've never had a good funnel. My driveway can attest to that. 😔
    • I am not a spammer ,, all I can say I have been member of the forum since a while ,,,,and as admin you can verify the time of registration I have 5 funnels none of them fit firmly. Similar thread was posted on the forum below but  it is US based : https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/no-more-spilled-oil-during-an-oil-change-spill-free-oil-funnel.26438/page-2
    • Your post has me puzzled. I have a lot of "spammer" warning signs flashing at me.  Are you honestly, truly, asking for our feedback on oil funnels? For 4 completely different cars?  They're 20 bucks! Just buy one and see!  Maybe I'm missing something?  My finger is hovering above the "flag as spammer" button... Convince me not to click it.  
    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...
