With different piston and rod sizes...

Its good to find a use for all the years in school.

How exactly do you increase stroke by 2mm with a piston upgrade on standard crank? :confused:

And I don't need a web calculator, I remember my Year 7 volumetric formulas :Oops: Probably the first time I've used them since high school :)

And the rings were properly seated and in full seal?

Adrian is right.

Synthetic is not a recommended run in oil.

These 2.7 and HKS 2.8 kits are ok for drag purposes and perhaps if they kit if cheap, go for it instead of your plain forged but until it gets to the OS Giken 3.0 litre set, I doubt that there's that much difference.

Maybe a bit more meaty torque in the middle?

Yep, you read right. 5000km.

I can't imagine running 1.9 bar of boost on a new engine that has only done 1,500km.

Even if the engine was standard, I still wouldn't tune it to full power till at least 5,000km.

After spending over $10,000 on the engine, 5,000km is nothing mate.

5000km run-in??? That would take most people 6 months to complete. You really think that's a feasible run-in time?

What engine parts could POSSIBLY need 5000kms bedding in time??? :uhh:

No comment on the full-synthetic running in oil use... People have different ideas on that one, but the vast majority believe that mineral oil for the first 1000kms or so is still the best way to go.

You'll have to tell tuning shops like Top Secret, Still Way, Veilside etc. that it doesn't make much difference. Most of those tuners build track and high speed cars.

Regarding oils,

The less friction on an engine the better.

But you just linked me to the GREX stroker kit, and that's not what you have...

It's the crank in the GREX stroker kit that gives it the extra 2mm stroke, not the pistons or rods :P

And yes, I was pretty proud of myself that I remembered how to calculate volume of a cylinder without looking it up :) :Oops:

My kit isn't the stroker kit, it's the 2.7 ltr kit.

The stoker kit comes with the crank which I didn't get.

I cracked my old block in 4 places.

Id prefer to leave the extra 1mm bore thickness in the block and get a realible 7-800hp than boring it to 1mm of its life and drastically reducing the blocks rigidity . Have seen a block split at high horsepower with 88mm bore.

I don't think a thicker block gives you realibility.

If the block is going to crack, I honestly don't think 1mm is going to save you.

I've seen pistons and rods go through the side of a block with a standard sized bore due to spinning bearings.

As you may know, RB26 engines are renowed for spinning bearings which in turn will damage all kinds of things in the engine including the engine block.

I think it's the package that will give you realiablity.

1) It's the crank which determines the stroke of the engine.

2) The piston determines the bore size

3) A standard crank has 73.77mm of stroke

4) Running a piston designed for a stroker crank will leave you with a very very low compression ratio as the stroker pistons have a short pin to crown height to accomodate the additional stroke on the crank.

I've already tried telling him that, but it doesn't seem to be getting through hsugh.gif

Correct.

It's the crankshaft in the stroker kit that = 75.7mm stroke

You're running standard crank, so you've got a 73.7mm stroke (standard)

I think you might find that it's not just the crank that gives the extra stoke but also the combination of the piston height and conrod length.

The displacement was messured and was found to be just over 2.7ltr.

I'll have to check whether my rods a standard length or not.

Regarding compression, both my head and deck where milled to accomodate the setup the mechanic is seeking.

Correct.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
