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.

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
