Hi Guys,

Im building my engine and i was wondering if anyone has built an RB26/30 engine using a CR of 9 or close to 9?

My engine mods are:

Top End

--------

RB26 Head fully serviced and mildly ported

HKS 272 Step 1 Cams

HKS Cam Gears

Bottom End (fresh rebuild)

-----------

RB30 Bottom End

Forged H-Beam Rods

Forged Pistons

O-Ringed Block

ACL Race Series Bearings

Oil Pump Drive Collar

R33 GTR Oil Pump

Oil Restrictors for the Head

Fully Balanced

Intake/Exhaust

------

Garrett T04Z 1.00 Rear

6Boost Manifold

XTR 55mm Wastegate

600x300x100 Tube/Fin Intercooler

ARC Air Box

3.5" Exhaust System

Fuel System

-----------

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump

700cc Injectors

Nismo Fuel Reg (Adj)

ECU

----

Apexi Power FC

Q45 Air Flow Meter

The reason i ask this question is if i can run a CR of as close to 9.0:1 as possible i hopefully can make my target power of 400kw at all four wheels with only using 16psi on pump fuel.This is going into an R32 GTR

I appreciate that this is very dependant on how good the tuner is, i will be using a very reputable tuner who has good experience with tunning GTR's

my dad runs his gtr's at about 10:1 and is looking at making them even higher think he wants 11.5:1..

r32 gtr n1 spec engine and turbos it makes max power of 254kw at all 4 wheels at 5100rpm and full boost at 3700rpm of around 24-28psi.

has full motec ecu with logging race dash and according to the logging it should run mid 11's down the 1/4mile

mid 11's with 250awkw?  and 250awkw on 24psi from N1 turbos?

good son of rajab something isnt right there... power should be over the 300 mark with N1's and that higher boost lvl

LOL thats exactly what i thought :lol:

over 9:1 is getting a bit high for a street car, and will be boost limited if using pump fuel IMO. The last time i heard 11.5:1 was when talking about a 350 Chev smallblock! Isnt that too high in a turbo RB application?

9:1 however should be great! You should easily meet your target, even with a lower CR. So far results from the TO4Z have been awesome (drool at R32-GTS's results). You "might" need a smidgen more boost than 16psi..

sniff sniff..

can anyone else smell that?

:D

Gibson also rebuilt their engines every race meeting, oh and it was a race car running race fuel, we are talking street cars here that have limited fuel choices. Anything over 9.0-9.5:1 in a turboed street car is stupid and dangerous when running upwards of 15psi!!! Its basically common physics that come into it if you look into the heating rate of compressed air, ie boosted air, then add to that compression ratios of 10+ you are running well over 180-190psi in each cylinder, and no fuels you can use legally on the road are going to burn properly at those pressures. In long 9.0:1 will be great for your application GTR Junkie, as yu will still have a nice car off boost that will be really responsive. How are you planning to run it in your GTR you should swing me a PM, as its good to start the mods at machining stage if possible!!!

How will he machine down the block if the pistons are running the 0 deck clearance as the pistons should be to achieve the correct squish.

Unless that is he decides to use RB26/rb25 pistons that have a different pin height, causing the piston to sit lower in the bore.

Then machining down the block to achieve a nice squish and resulting in a slightly higher comp ratio..

Why not simply order custom pistons to suit? :huh:

Because if you machine te block to acieve a higher CR, most off the shelf pistons run at 0 deck height to achieve a good squish area with standard type machine work. If he machines the block lower to sit the piston higher in the bore the pistons will sit proud of the block and you will have less squish you can compensate by running thicker head gasket to get it back but then the CR falls as well and you end back to where you started!!!!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
