Any differences from factory in the Rb26dett pistons/ rods/ crank or block?? Or have they been the same since the r32??

Can you use pistons and rods from a r34gtr engine in a r32gtr engine??

Is 350rwkw achievable on a stock rb26dett bottom end with good compression and no fatal signs of blowing up soon??

If im correct this set up should do a mid to low 11 at the high 120mph mark.

Harun, 350kw shouldnt be a problem so long as the engine is in good condition with good tuning and plentiful fuel supply.

As for the bottom end differences, im not 100% so I will leave that for someone else to answer :P

The crank collar on the R32s is the only difference I know. If you keep the revs to within factory limits you shouldn't have an issue with that.

Pistons and rods are interchangable if not identical. They may have changed the quality of the metals in the hardware over the period of 10 years but I'm not sure. The top end is slightly different, but that wasn't your question.

350rwkw is quite achievable, the question is, what do you intend to do with that 350rwkw. It should be OK on the drag strip but may be stressed on the circuit.

No problems with the low 11s and mid to high 120mph either.

Thanks for the reply guys.

The car would be set up for more circuit racing. How ever it will see the occasional Drag/ drift day.

Im not too wise on GTR engines and not sure of how much power they can take before you need to upgrade the internals.

Emre: That is what i heard. Same size/ type/ style piston and rods though different materials. Also i believe r34 has larger valves and different cam to the r32/3 engine.

i got an r33 gtr crank in my rb25 which has the larger oil pump drive to suit the n1 oil pump we put on also. If u get the earlier crank with the smaller drive it cost roughly 500 to machine to suit. If ur swapping whole engine for rb26 then i dont think u will have a drama

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
