Hi all,

I recently ordered some CP RB30\26 9.0 to 1 CR 86.5mm pistons and when they arrived I was surprised to find that they don't have any valve reliefs cut into them. Is that correct ? Bit worried as I'll be using 10.8mm lift Kelford Cams with them.

The build sheet is :

Heres a picture of the pistons :

I maintained the 8.5:1 scr on my rb26/30 build and was running jun 10.5mm lift cams, and the pistons had fairly serious cutouts in them. Pics are in this thread:

If it were me I'd definitely be checking with plasticine - once it's all put together and timing set up how you want it of course you would be carefully turning it over to check no interference but you'd want to know what kind of margin there is for stretch etc, espc if you're playing around with the duration of lobles and/or timing with slider cams etc.

But then I'm a fairly risk averse person.

Actually drifticon I saw your thread and was keen to seen a photo of it with the bonnet closed, just because I'm yet to see anyone else space the subframe and was curious to see how close to flush the bonnet closes,

Cheers Brett

Sorry for the hijack

It's not very flush at all - we had to turn up spacers out of alloy, which are 20mm thick. Looks a bit agricultural.

Reasonably confident that it's the "twin turbo" pipe that is causing the problem, rather than the timing belt cover. Im going to a single turbo eventually so assuming I can get a manifold that sits the turbo low enough, it should be possible to get custom piping that clears the bonnet and also allows strut brace to be fitted.

Just getting ready to build the engine (at last !) and trying to work out deck heights, compression ratio etc.

The build sheet for the pistons lists a dome height of 0.055", does anyone know what that equates to in CC ?

I'm aiming for a 1mm squish clearance so I assume, as I'm using a Tomei 1.2mm 88mm head gasket, they need to protrude from the block by .2mm. Will be CCing the head shortly as its been skimmed in the past.

Cheers

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
