You know what get the hell outta my party....i know 30 block is bigger, i know 26 head is far way better. But i already have no way back now...ok? I spent good amount of money and if isnt of no use i'll buy another 26head and we got another engine...yeah it will be a brand new engine because the 26block has a very very wide variety of highly engineered parts down there from the biggest aftermarket engineering companies in the world that the 30 doesnt. Thats the whole main reason smart guy. Starting from tomie crankshafts to uprated pistons, their rings and everything...then my head will have tomie or hks camshafts and a whole new set of sensors from nissan to make the calculations just accurate...oh i also bought carbon fiber rocker cover and i dont wanna give that away...and a big turbo with the manifold, downpipe etc...so yeah i am a twat and next time do your retarded research right because bikes have reltively smaller engines and they are sooo many times faster than cars can ever be!

Not meaning to offend here..

But they were meaning the N1 block isn't worth buying over a normal rb26 block if applying your head..Or the 26 bottom being of any advantage. The cost far outweighs any gain ( there won't be ) over a 25 or 30 bottom end, which you can still put all your HIGH quality brand crank, pistons etc into.. Seems you are also money conscious, so forget about the N1 block, and spend the money elsewhere.. The block itself will not make the motor any better in your case.

Also standard rb30 crankshafts have produced over 1000hp, therefore not requiring aftermarket crankshafts, also the only reason someone would buy a tomei crank is if it were a stroker, which the rb30 does with it's capacity.... I'm not even going to list the aftermarket support for the whole RB series of engines, but there are plenty of big brand companies producing quality products = and superior to the Japanese product which will work with the 3l

The 3L block has its flaws. Yes they are ok to make HP but the 26 still does it better. If he has a Tomei stroker going in then he is better off with the N1 block anyway because it's ability to be further machined and still retaining strength. Then theres also the fact the Tomei crank will spin up faster due to its reduced weight, better counterweighted for the aftermarket rotating assembly and able to rev much higher without risk of crank flex or movement. When everyone else is changing gears at 8k, he will be flipping the bird while he hangs on at 10k :thumbsup:

I would say let the guy do as he pleases, he's not doing anything wrong.

Thats true, but he won't be changing at 10k with hydro lifters. So a block that bolts up would seem a better option or a head that suits the chosen block over extra machine work to achieve the same thing... If he had a built head already be different story, but seems as though he is only into early stages of build..

Either way, yes it can be done at a cost, whether that cost is a smart or most efficient decision..

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
