Hello

I wonder what bearings do I need to use if I put an rb26 crank in a rb25 block? Should I use rb25 or rb26 bearings?

Im also wonder if anyone know what the C/R would be with the rb25det head and rb26 internals in the bottom? I want a C/R like 9:1 what should I do to get that?

^^^ i would also like to add, can you use rb25 crank with new rb26 rods and forged rb25 pistons? what hp/rpm is standard rb26 rods good for? is it cheap to go this path than a set of aftermarket rb25 rods?

cheers

By the time you prep a set of 26 rods (resize, linish etc) you are nearly at a set of Eagles or Spool H-beams.

most people rate the factory 26 rods at ~400rwkws, there are the same length as 25 rods, just beefier.

A lot of internet specials around atm such as rb26 cp pistons and forged rods 1k us dollars. You need the rb26 pistons with an rb26 crank.

Would also like to know which Main Bearings to use. The ACL part numbers for the Rod Bearings are the same (6B2960H, 6B2960HX) for RB25 and RB26 Rods. However the Main Bearings for RB25 are 7M2395H/HX - Flange, and 7M2394H/HX, the RB26 part numbers are 7M2428H/HX - Flange, and 7M2429h/HX.

The difference on ACL's website says the RB26 Bearings are slightly longer

RB25 RB26

7M2395H/HX - 1.061in / 26.95mm 7M2428H/HX - 1.063in / 27mm

7M2394H/HX - 0.7528in / 19.12mm 7M2429H/HX - 0.7874in / 20mm

My guess would be to use the RB25 Bearings as it is going into a RB25 block, as long as the crank is the correct diameter where you bolt the crank down, I suppose :ermm: .

Alot of good info here

here is what i have and what im planning to do

ive got a bare 25 block

ive got R32 gtr crank

26 h-beam rods

still lookin out for pistons, i want to oversize them

i still dont no what bearing to usee....

do i have to modift the oil pump or upgrade it, or will the 25 one be good

im aiming for 400+kw maybee 500,,

ive got 2x t67 turbos, i dont no if i should twin turbo it or just get a Big single,,, dont want it too laggy

ive also heard people have done 2.8 with the gtr internals,, anyone no about this???

Take your pick, there are plenty of brands out there. You will either want 86.5 or 87mm pistons. I went with CP 86.5 so if I need to rebuild again I can go to 87mm.

i still dont no what bearing to usee....

RB26 Bearings as you are using a RB26 crank. Use ACL Bearings, they are Aussie made :thumbsup:

do i have to modift the oil pump or upgrade it, or will the 25 one be good

Upgrade it, you are spending the money on a rebuild and the oil system is the life of it...it is one thing you don't want to skimp on. If it fails/breaks, the outcome could be catastrophic.

If you are aiming for 400kw+ then definitely upgrade the oil pump.

ive got 2x t67 turbos, i dont no if i should twin turbo it or just get a Big single,,, dont want it too laggy

Twin turbo RB25...too much hassle to make the manifolds etc, do a search on SAU. I think a few people have done it on here, but its a PITA.

And in regards to the thread you started that got locked, look here, I am currently doing this build and documenting it a bit.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
