"OEM RB25DET piston ringlands - built to be busted"

Since having mine built with strong internals and running big boost I've found a large interest in wide competition style rear rubber!

CMS Drifter , you got the easy job! I've gotta PAY for the whole thing :rant:

About half way now , engine out (thanx CMS) & fully pulled down.All gaskets , bearings and belts here , pistons & rod bolts arrive Monday . The block gets bored and decked this week before going to Perth to be "O"ringed , and while I'm there , drop off the stall converter & pick up my new rods:D

Getting Keen Now!

Take one fully functional R33 making 280rwhp constantly,

add One Hi-Flowed steel wheeled turbo,

spool boost briskly to exactly 15psi (note: you should be able to smell the rich aroma of "Smoked" 265's at this stage)

You will notice a flury of detonation as the boost spools up ,  

Now this is the important part..... carefully remove your Brain and place it heavilly

on your right foot ,

add to this the classic Aussie "She'll be right" &

Ta Da.... You have successfully Shot the dipstick ( oil Not driver) out of the sump due to the massive crankcase presssure caused by broken ring lands!!!!!

If you've done this right , the cab will fill with clouds of choking smoke with just a hint of anal discharge :fart:

See the illistrations below......Happy RB25 Cooking :)

Crap you have just described my driving method.:rant:

Troy Rep.

:Bang:
Hmm nice. The GTR rods are heavier than RB25 so even though I lightened the flywheel I noticed there was only a slight improvement response wise.

Gav , the RB26 rods will do me :rant: They can more than handle the 250rwkw I'm chasing.& are cost effective compared to aftermarket items.

B-man , I only killed 1 piston outright.....couple of others had cracked ring lands...& no.5 dropped the spark plug!!(still haven't found that!)

Morgs ,is there a place on the web that your not on? :cheers:

Pistons & rod bolts arrived today! :)

what would the ARP bolts come in at?

When I put mine together I had one that wouldn't accept the torque required and it started to neck, so I found most had been seriously stretched when I measured them, about 3-4 mm.

New RB26 bolts from Nissan cost about $180 from memory and had to come from 3 different places to make the set. Even so they pack then in fives...morons...and wanted me to pay overnight freight for the last 2 AND they sent me lawnmower bolts the first time.

At least they sent the cutest parts runner around with the last delivery :D. But she was blonde and wanted me to pay for them again...AAARRRGHHH...save us from Nissan Aust.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
