I am looking for the combustion chamber size. I also need to know if the eccs redtop and silvertop heads use the same cumbustion chamber setup. Lastly, are the pistons the same? I am trying to figure out the compression ratio that I will get just from the head swap, then if I can get any more out of it.

I did do some searching.

Google says they bolt together and the bottom end is identical.

Thus if you look up the CR of the red and compare it to the CR of the silver you will find the difference.

You could also do such things as review an FSM to see if the bottom end for red and silver is different in any way. Again CR will tell you the rest.

I am looking for specs, how big is the dome on the pistons (red and silver), how big is the combustion chamber of the red and silvertop heads, are the head gasgets the same thickness. things that I cant find on google, and would not be in the fsm. I know people say the bottom end is the same, but I am wondering if the pistons are the same and if the heads use the same cumbustion chaambers. I know the heads are not made from the same cast, so I am wondering what esle besides the intake runners are different.

You cant just look at the CR of the redtop and silvertop and say it will get X CR. There is simply too many factors involved in getting X CR.

Thanks for the response.

If the pistons are the same, and the CR is the same. Then it is safe to assume the chamber CC is also the same, which I believe is what your worried about?

If im right and your only worried about the resultant CR, then prove the pistons and HG are the same. The reason I advise to do it this way is because I do not think you will find information on the heads actual difference.

Not really worried about the resulting CR, I am looking to up the CR. I just want to know what the CR should be with just the head on the block. Sometimes stuff changes, and considering they used a completly different cast to make the head I thought they might have made a change or two to the cumbustion chambers and pistons.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
