as title states guys

i have a RB25 block i have got back from the Machinest it has had all the usual rebuilt work done.

I am just after some info on cleaning up the casting dags ect inside the block. Whats the best way to aproach it?

and what should i not do ?

also i have an RB26 head and i am fitting it on the RB25 block. Using RB 25 crank and pistons. have other people done this sucessfully? how did the compression ratios turn out... as far as i calculated it was somwhere near 8.2 to 1.

cheers guys.

PS im using a 26 head because it was on my last motor and has port work and 272 10.5mm cams fitted. also the 25 block and crank was free.

Why not use rb26 crank and pistons to get the proper compression ratio. 8.2:1 is a tad low.

Rb25 and rb26 rods are the same, although rb26 are stronger.

Don't bother cleaning up any casting marks inside the block. Make sure all the oil and water galleries are free of swarf.

Inspect and replace welsh plugs.

What machine work did you have done?

Rb25 and rb26 rods are the same, although rb26 are stronger.

How can they be the same if the other is stronger? :P

Agreed on the comp ration. 8.2 is quite low nowadays considering the quality of fuels available compared to 10 years ago.

Then add in 272 cams and depending on what port work, it'll be pretty unimpressive anywhere that isn't smack on the boost happy area.

Can use a RB25 crank though, and 26 rods. Not a major issue, just need pistons to suit then.

okies cheers guys i have removed the plugs. and i will fit new ones. i have oil restrictors aswell and a couple of plugs for the vct squirter and one of the oil squirters.

What machine work did you have done?

I got the block bored and torqu plate honed to piston specs

Line honed with cradle torqued with arp mains

Crank polished ballenced with clutch harmonic ballencer and flywheel. also taped the oil bungs in the crank and tapered the oil outlets on the mains and big ends journals.

The machine shop rebuilt the head with new valves jun valve springs and bronze valve guides and skimed the deck.

Machine shop also checked the CP pistons and Argo rods for weight and tollerences ect.

I do need a bit of help in reguards to my compression ratio. I dont understand how to work out the piston height above the deck or the CCs of the piston dome.

Please refer to the spec sheet supplied.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
