Im new in this forum and would like to introduce my self first befor talkin about the problum that Im facingwith my car, my name is yousif alzayani and from kingdom of bahrain. I owned a drag race nissan z32 with rb30/rb26 setup. the car produce 1200+whpand my personal best is 7.1sec@299km the run strong but recently im facing problums with the head studs the rb25 head studs couldnt hold the power that I got In my setup when I run the over 30psi the head is lifting, so I decided to move forward with rb26 head studs and I drilled the deck but couldnt solve the problum this time the block craked and I think its because of the drilling.anybody fcaced this problum guys im talking to the hi hp guys I need some help if anybady got it.

Here some pic of the car :post-132008-0-08488800-1389908401_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-92961800-1389908420_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-65408700-1389908460_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-82066000-1389908750_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-72274000-1389908789_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-63131100-1389908832_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-75630800-1389908996_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-56459800-1389908998_thumb.jpgpost-132008-0-58736900-1389909019_thumb.jpg

Beautiful car and great setup!

That is one majorly busted engine! I'm not sure you could blame the enlarged bolt holes or not. The crack runs through one of the holes but whether it originated from the hole or just ran through the path of least resistance which is the hole. Very hard to say. The vast majority of RB's floating around are far less than 1200HP so there may not be a lot of relevant experience on whether they crack at that point regularly. I've only seem RB's crack in the middle of the block and underneath at the sump mounting face. Yours is certainly an impressive effort (but obviously not appreciated!).

Good luck with it. Some of the sand racer Patrol guys over there might be able to shed some light on it as they're running similar power to yours.

Hi ZEEKH2B,

I can't speak form experience, but is it possible to drill and tap the head studs further down into the block?

This would spread the load across more block area (with more material above the intersection of stud to block) and possibly reduce the flex in the block.

You would need to find/make longer studs, but since the block is the weakest point at the moment, not the studs, this may be worth investigating.

The guys at RIPS in New Zealand play with some big HP RB's, they may have come across this issue previously.

Hope it helped.

Heya PN-MAD,

I was more thinking that if the same thread was moved further down in the block, it'd have more material above it to reduce flex.

If the thread was longer it'd spread the load over more area. So if the thread pulled through, I'd go for a longer thread for sure. What do you think? Just throwing around some ideas :)

I guess it's much of a muchness...

Furthermore, if the thread was moved/extended lower into the block it'd also have less stress on the thin cylinder/stud wall from combustion.

I'm far from experienced, but I guess at a certain level it just becomes R&D. Unless you can get some info out of the big builders (RIPS Maatouks etc).

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
