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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
