Apologies I thought you were unaware of the rb34 kit and had just noticed the rb32 kit.

Why would you choose the rb32 over the rb34? Cheaper? Rev higher?

RB34 requires some block machine work AFAIK, RB32 should be bolt in and go.

on the spool webiste they have done a comparison chart between a rb30 and their rb34. bit of a increase has been achieved. http://www.spoolimports.com/articles-1/rb34det-results. as for brand comparisons dyno charts, it will probably never happen as not one workshop will see the same style of car, same style of setup do to this unless they cough up the coin themselves to carry out the tests.

This thread is not about RB34. There is already an RB34 thread.

I'm surprised they didn't lose any hp in the top end due to the smaller bore/stroke ratio. I would say there head was flowing quiet well!

The rb34 bore/stroke ratio is less than an xr6t and those things just don't like to rev over 6500.

They used a standard NEO head and said a lot more could be done if the head had have been flowed to accommodate the larger displacement.

True 3.2? does litre actually matter or stroke? When is the point where longer stroke stops making power?

and creates less?

Spool 3.2 stroke 91mm

86mm bore 3.17

86.5mm bore = 3.2

87mm bore = 3.24

Nitto 3.2 stroke 90mm

86mm bore = 3.14L

86.5mm bore = 3.17L

87mm bore = 3.21L

I personally think these cranks are similar as in the rips main caps and cradle and the spools version not long after

but just ask yourself, why is something cheap? What did they cut out? Was it just to make it sell easier? Or was there something that just wasn't needed?

I think Rips latest engine in the Stagea will be revving at least 9000 but he is being a bit cagy about the actual size. I would guess its a 3.2 although he could be experimenting with something bigger.

    • Yes, I had ordered the spherical bushings at the same time as the rest. I have high hopes for the anti squat reduction kit. 
    • Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.
    • The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.
    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
