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!!!!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
