Please excuse my ignorance, but I just saw this article:

http://formen.ign.com/news/16796.html?fromint=1

And it mentions the motor:

The Skyline GTR’s race-tested RB36DETT DOHC, 24 valve 2.6 liter intercooled, twin-turbo I6 at a very conservative 280 base horsepower and a very respectable 289 lb/ft of torque.

This is a typo right? What is the biggest RB motor out there?

By the sounds of the article, they are refering to the RB26DETT so it looks like a typo. No such thing as an RB36DETT.

While we're kind of on the topic, what's the biggest RB engine you could make? e.g. RB30 block, RB26 head etc - no idea what crank and other parts you'd need, but roughly how big could you make one. I realise it would totally change the nature of the engine if it was 3.5L or so, but I'm just kind of curious.

We have tried up to 3.3 litres - we could have gone more, but it was diminishing returns, hence pointless.

Just for completeness, we also went as low as 2.4 litres...

Mario.

I suppose it does make sense that if you're increasing the stroke it wouldn't be as easy to rev as hard. Also, you aren't really increasing the volume of the engine that much % wise once you are adding only a few tenths of a litre.

How did the GTR respond to the reduced capacity? I think it was Nismo that reduced the capacity of a VH45DE to 3.5L and it revved like an F1 car. Your GTR already is a very revvy machine, so it must have been even better at 2.4L. If I remember correctly, you were having trouble shifting at very high revs at some point (my memory is bad, sorry). Did it make shifting harder?

    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
    • Hello everyone, I am happy to join you.
    • Whereabouts are you, that looks exactly like Akira's old car....
    • Haha, that's so true. Minimal plans quickly turn into a full transformation, especially when you see what others are doing
