You are mxing up metric and imperial systems

0.010mm is 4 thousandths of an inch.

Im not sure. Take a look at The Venolia Catalogue why would they use imperial mesurements all the way through then go metric when detailing the Piston clearances.

as far as i can figure 0.010mm is not 4 thousandths of an inch

1 thou...0.001"

1" (25.4mm) / 1000 = 0.0254mm

so

4 thou....0.004"

0.0254mm * 4 = 0.1016mm

and

10 thou...0.010"

0.0254mm * 10 = 0.254mm

is this right or am i confused????

.010mm is 4 ten thousanths of an inch.

.010/25.4=.0003937"

I'd run the pistons with the clearance they have built in to them, maybe .0005" less for a street engine.

Remember that if you finish the bore to smaller than the nominal size, every .001" smaller in bore size will close up your ring gaps by around .003" (using Pi*diameter)

The Venolia's run extra clearance cold as they have a lower silicone content that others and have a greater coefficient of thermal expansion, so when they are hot the clearance will be similar as they expand more and take up the cold clearance.

To convert mm to inches-

multiply mm by .03937

To convert inches to mm-

multiply inches by 25.4.

Totally agree with you PROENGINES.

But i do not agree with:

Stay away from the ACL / ROSS forgies as they are noisy as and recommend a 6 thou clearance which seemed acceptable maybe 10 years ago.

I hace an RB26 ACL/ROSS piston in front of me.

Reccomended clearence .12mm (.0047")

That is 4thou and 7tenths

.010mm is 4 ten thousanths of an inch.

.010/25.4=.0003937"

So pro engines what clearance would you / have you run the venolia RB pistons.

Any more updates BOOSTD?

Yes, The gudgeon pin on number 3 has come out the side of the piston an scored the bore quite badly. Number 6 also has a 1mm line down it. The pistons are still in the bottom end at this stage. It will be interesting to find out if the circlip was installed, failed or forgotten. If the later is the case I will post up the workshops name.

I have taken a stack of pix, just need to find my USB cable.

PS. I'm most likely going with CP pistons if I can find a cheap supplier. If not ARIAS are my number 2.

Boostn32,

I was going to assemble my motor myself. I was told for $300 the bloke who was doing the machining would assemble it.

The cost isn't in the assemble its in the machining.

Its not about being loaded its about aiming for sensible goals... 350-400rwhp out of an rb20 is simply silly, especially if you don't have heaps of cash to throw at cams and headwork.

For a drifter all you will need is 220-230rwkw, with that sort of power it will be much easier to drift, having a rb20 that comes up on boost from 6k isn't going to be a very nice drifter.

Possibly forget about the rb20 all together, sell your rb20det and buy your self a r32 rb25de, drop a set of forged pistons in that and enjoy your 350-400rwhp, it will be much more reliable as it doesn't need any where near as much boost and as many rev's as the rb20 would.

ok, im not giving out details on my engine build at this stage as everyone knows its not easy to get 350 - 400rwhp out of a rb20. its more of a chalenge than other motors and thats what i wanted. lets just say the engine is far from stock. just wanted the finer details to make sure everything is right.

i just want to do it right hence why i was asking about the rings on the arias pistons. we are all here to help each other out i thought.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
