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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
