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.

    • I might just check it out.. A Q among all those skylines.. lol
    • Time will tell, they're doing all the admin stuff at the moment. I've submitted all the required details, photos, etc.   I was under the impression that DC coupling is the best approach, i.e.: Solar Array -> Battery Invertor -> Battery  Where as AC Coupling is simpler, however less efficient, i.e.: Solar Array -> Solar Invertor -> Battery Invertor -> Battery
    • The price is really great for that kind of capacity. I thought similar setups cost way more. How's your efficiency been with the DC-coupling? I've heard sometimes there can be a bit of a performance loss.
    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
