Something I am curious about. From where Im standing, I believe it may be one or a combination of:

a) Cams - As Cubes stated, the R32 RB25DE head causes the motor to ping easier than normal

b) Cam timing - Possibly issue with CAS, or base timing

c) Static CR (assuming the head is approx as Bl4ck32 stated) - the 9:1 CR would make the motor more succeptable to pinging than say an 8.3:1 motor. However, I dont see this as being the issue right now until we've ruled out timing. However, I have heard two VERY different values for the head cc measurement which has caused some confusion.

One thing to note is that the tuner had dealt with a Stagea RB25 Neo with similar/same pistons. Same symptoms. Put E85 in it and it was all good and made plenty of power.

Always options to consider...

As rolls said

207RWKW on the 7-8 deg of timing. AFR's were apparently spot on.

Been doing a few calcs here and there and all are coming back the same... Approximately 9:1 pending a few things.

The only thing I'm not 100% on is the chamber volume. Im 99% sure it is as per Bl4ck32/Cubes measurements at 62cc. That is unless there was a serious issue with the head being overheated earlier on in its life. I just cant be too sure unless I get it measured...

Anyone got any ideas on how much (an average value) they would take off a warped head to see it flat again?

I would go somewhere else and get a second opinion.I dont know how the motor was built but to be tuning it for full load on a 30 minute old engine seems a little odd to me. Please correct me if its only a base tune for the run in process that they are doing.

please explain how the engines ever gonna be in better condition to handle a thrashing than a few minutes after the rings have finished bedding in? 1000km run ins are useless

as for the head, it depends how badly it was warped but normally its not enough to affect compression by any signifigant amount. i've had my head faced 3 times now (its never been cooked badly though) and i'd be lucky to have gained 0.1 compression.

Yeah once the rings are bed in, change the oil and go for gold, never understood the process of running in a motor. Once you've bedded the rings and got any metal left over from the build out of the oil then what else is going to change? Nothing I hope!

Again I will say it won't be an inherent problem with the the RB25DE head or cams specs.. my money is on the wrong pistons for the application.

Ive done a few investigations and by using online calculators and inputting the following:

6cc dome pistons (Confirmed many times via R33 RB30DET thread/Spool Imports)

1.28mm Head Gasket (0.05") (Cometic) (Confirmed via Spool Imports)

86.5mm Stroke x 86.5mm Bore

0 Deck height (From speaking to the builder, the deck height is actually below 0 deck height (decreasing compression!) exact value Im unsure of)

62cc combustion volume (Head type Confirmd by Cubes as being an R32 RB25DE head. Also, 4 different R32 RB25DE heads all cc'd to this value - so the only way mine may read less is if it had been seriously overheated and decked to get it straight again)

Standard pin height 1.280" (As confirmed by Spool)

Approximately 9:1 (probably less due to pistons being below deck height)

A few online calculators ask for teh HG bore. Without it infront of me I can only guess, but all in all, EVERY different calculator got approximately 9:1 Static CR.

Is there something im missing?

If deck height is below 0, wouldn't that increase compression??

I was more trying to make the point that the head and cams are fine.. there is no inherent problem with that type of head and cams that would cause this issue.

Does the dyno plot look normal - like the cams are relatively in the right spot? If so that compression pressure is pretty much spot on.

My RB30/26 with CP 9:1 pistons was around 160psi +/-5psi - when I advanced the inlet 7degrees there was very little compression presure difference (maybe 5psi at most). This would suggest to me that your engine has the correct static compressure ratio of 9:1.

So many things to check before pulling the engine apart. Start by checking the CAS like I said.

From all that I've read, and from thinking about it:

If the piston (flat section of the piston-not including domes/dish's) sits below the deck of the block, then the combustion volume when the piston is at TDC is larger compared to if the piston was sitting above the deck ("proud of the deck").

Correct me if Im wrong tho?

Yup. Builder is slapping a different/known working CAS on it.

Taking it back to the dyno, checking if it knocks again, if so, getting a safe tune to do some k's on it. If not - great!!!

Thoughts?

Running in takes 20 -30 mins - get a proper tune and see what it can do.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
