Hi all,

So I'm looking at a r31 with an rb25 conversion that's for sale at the moment. The car's neat, good conversion etc.

However, the bloke who own's the car told me what I think to be conflicting information.

He reckons it's a r34 rb25 with rb26 pistons, rb20 crank and rb20 cams. He also said that this brings the compression ratio down to somewhere in the region of around 7.5/1.

Does this sound right to anybody? I've done a few google searches and it seems to be there's plenty of options out there to destroke a rb25 but this is not one of them.

Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

RB20 Main journal size 1.7699in / 44.956mm

RB25 Main journal size 1.888in / 47.956mm

3mm of clearence would rattle and vibrate into a big bang, still it wouldnt build up enough oil pressure to start

this guy has no idea what they are on about

how much are they asking?

Well that's definately not right then. Cheers for that info.

I can prob get it for around 5g's and the car itself is straight as, guy who owns it didn't build the motor so he's probably just being fed a load of horse shit.

I've seen it start up and drive etc and it sounds spot on even on a cold start, no misses, knocks etc.

He also said it's been bored out 1.5mm to suit the rb26 pistons but I thought they were the same bore as a rb25?

Could it be an rb20 block he's started with?

Also rb's are stamped on the block aren't they? Does anyone know where exactly they're stamped?

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.

      I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
