Hey all,

First time posting here have been around and to a few shoots but thats about it. So anyway cut to the chase, I want to look into stroking my rb25 to a rb27. What is needed to do this, I've heard from a couple of sources you can use rb26 gear to do it but I'm not sure. Even if I can be pointed in the direction to a another post if this has been discussed before that would be awesome.

I have also been looking into this for a while and I am keen to hear peoples experiences.

Adz is running a 2.8 set up in his Rb25 block I think it is a response monster.

I am also keen to get the con rod lengths of both the RB25 and the RB26 engines so I can look at the different rod ratios.

25 and 26 have the same size rod tho 26 rod is stronger. As I said above just use RB26 Crank, Rods and Pistons in the 25 Block, Pre NEOs need no extra work.

NEOs have smaller combustion chambers so you need your Machine shop to check comp ratio and machine Piston domes to drop comp ratio back to around 9 to 1. RB26 Stroker kits can be used in 25s by doing the same.

Do you know the rod length of them then?

Also do you know the CC's of both the 25 and 26 heads? so i can start working out comp ratios etc.

Thanks for the help.

I'm going to use a 26 crank and 26 spec rods and pistons.

a new 33 gtr crank comes in at around $1000-1100 and the bonus is its ready for a 26 spec oil pump.

the 2.8 rb25 people are reffering to is a 33 in W.A. I think his name is paul cornes or something, thats a rb25, 26 crank, pauter rods and mahle pistons (i think) and runs a 88mm bore. built by XSpeed (i think)

I think running a 26 crank is a great idea but boring it out so far just to gain some extra cc's seems a bit crazy. i think id rather have a bit more meat in the block. but hey i'm no engine builder! =)

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
