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,

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

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
