Gidday. 

As suggested I require some help in working out my comp ration. I have researched the heck out of this subject and have found some really good posts with very VERY detailed information and processes in order to a quote this information. But nothing about how to adjust the ratio. For instance from what I have found the RB25DET S2 Came out with a 9.0:1 Ratio from factory also here are some other specs I have found for a stock RB25DET. 

SIZES ARE IN MM AND ALL FACTORY. 

BORE SIZE             : 86.0MM

STROKE                 : 71.7MM

DECK HEIGHT      : 188.5MM

HEAD CC              : 66.5MM

COMP HEIGHT   : 31.5MM

So here is my information 

RB25DET S2 Block.      Decked 10 thou

Rb25det S2 Head.        Deckedb10 thou 

Bores.                            +20 thou 

Stroke  (Stock)              71.7mm

I am looking for between  8.5:1 to 8.8 - 9.0:1

I am not as smart as some and cannot seem to figure this calculation method out. The instructions and walk throughs I have seem are really detailed but a little TO detailed to the stage where I am lost and it all starts looking like the matrix wall paper screen saver. 

 

So if someone could help me understand and to figure out what pistons I should her what Head gasket and so I will be forever in your debt. 

I had my rb25det with full stock internals up to 444.4 RWHP @ 19.5 @ 19.5PSI Of boost and snapped piston 1-s Ring Landings.

 

Thank You In Advance.

Stock is fine 9 to 1 is fine ...properly assembled and tuned CR will not be the cause of engine failure.

I am trying to ascertain the compression ration I have now as compared to the stock 9 to 1.

9 to 1 i if everything is factory. 

I have a 10 thou decked head

10 though decked block so that would raid my compression to 10 to 1 and over. 

But if I use a 1.3mm gasket it will lower my compression. 

I am guessing lower then 8.5:1 andbdeffinatlu lower then 9.0:1 

If I use a 1mm head gasket it to will lower the comoression ratio but to what I do not know. 

My guesses and assumption are basses upong the given information. 

Standard is 9.0:1. 

Deck head 10thou and block 10thou so if everything else is stock it would mean that my compression height is 20thou or 0.5mm shorter and my piston now comes closer to the valves and the head meaning higher compression.

If I try to compensate for the 20 thou differance and use a 0.5mm or 20 thou head gasket it should in theory bring my compression back to stock (9.0:1) If I use a 1mm or 40 thou head gasket it would mean that my compression height is now lower then 9.0:1 as the pistons are now 20 thou lower at TDC which inturen will lower my comp ratio. 

If I use a 1.3mm or 51.118 thou

Meaning my comp height is now 30+ thou taller meaning my comp is now lower. 

So 

With all this information I still cannot work out my assumed comp ratio. 

I'm guessing that with a 1mm (40 thou) MLS Gasket my comp will be lower then 9.0:1 

And a 1.3mm (51thou) would make it lower. 

But I need to know what it would be lower to.

So if anyone here and I am seriously confident there is. 

Has done this

● what type of pistons were used and

● what size head gasket was used. And 

● Comp ratio was achieved. 

 

Thank You.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
