OK can someone tell me what the two rb26 kits are rated at on this site i think its 800ps for the frist one and 1200ps for the next is correct and are these figures at the wheels or engine

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.

I think you will find that it is the crank, and crank only that affects stroke. Pistons suited to stroker cranks will measure less form gudgeon pin to crown to avoid making contact with the head / valves and meeting the desired level of compression. If you have a standard crank and you increase the rod length by say 2mm, the piston will travel 2mm higher at tdc (and would require either a sandwhcih plate or very thick head gasket) but remember it wll also be 2mm higher at bdc. Using your volumetric equation the capacity will remain unchanged. It appears with the kit you have purchased that your gain in capacity is due to the O/S pistons only.

A couple of useless things on Jap stroker kits

1) they all use the standard length rod

2) the difference in the "cheap" low horsepower kit vs the "expensive" high power kit is mainly the pin size(21mm std vs 22mm "SPL").

3) Merli's running big block chev pistons in his new motor to give him a displacement of 8 liters.

Fact or fiction?

Goddammit DoughBoy, you weren't meant to tell everyone that! RB80 > RB30 with RB26 Head :wassup:

And MrCharms, I only resort to smart-ass comments when I have to repeat myself 4 times, only to be ignored blindly and be replied to with completely wrong information over and over again.

There's only so many times I can try to tell you what's really going on with your engine (based on information you've supplied to me), before I give up and try to take the piss hs.gif

In any case, refer to my volumetric measurements on the first page, you're making just over 2650cc, which bumps you up to 2.7 Litres :D

P.S. If you sat down for a minute before replying and visualised what goes on in a piston engine, you'd quickly realise that crankshaft design is the ONLY thing that will effect stroke length. It's pretty simple when you think about it :D

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
