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!!!!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
