Bring it, Bish.

I stand by what I said.

Heh will submit my essay later after work. Base physics seem to be overlooked, so will have to include a chapter on that and basic mechanics as well.

Oh and if it was only oil surge/spun bearing, why does piston 5 have alot of detonation peppering?

3L bottom ends help ONLY with low end torque/tractability (good for general street use, yes)

BUT

The shorter stroke RB26 based engines are ALWAYS a better idea as out-and-out race engines, for all the reasons I mentioned and more.

Need I remind you that the 3 fastest drag GT-Rs on the planet use 2.8L or smaller engines, with the HKS 33 using their own 2.8L kit (crank has 4mm more stroke than normal [77.7mm])

But I'm sure in your mind the 3/3.1L jobbies are better, right?

Your a gimp, for those of us that don't own a multi million dollar company ie HKS and build a car from our own catalogue and aren't trying to be one of the 3 fastest GTR's on the planet tell my why a 3L isn't a good way to go for a RWD car for someone unlike yourself that has some description of a budget?

oh and with all this knowledge you posses what have you built or done with your car?

Oh dear...Seems I've offended the 'RB30 bottom end' crew.

Gimp suit in the wash at the mo'. It's just regular old Shaun for today *LOL*

Look,I'm sure an 3-3.1L RB with a twin-cam head can make lots of power and is great fun, and I know it CAN work very well (Wilall racing as an example, especially [yes, yes- that's an OS Giken kit]), and I didn't mean to step on the toes of anyone that's gone to the trouble of doing the conversion themselves.

But I just don't think that using the 85mm stroke crank from an RB30 is the best idea for engine longevity/reliability at high engine speeds.

But it's all relative.

To be at the pointy end of 1/4 mile competition, you would be rebuilding/pulling down the engine on a fairly regular basis (in comparison to a mildly hotted up performance engine, anyway) to make sure everything was still o.k

Like I mentioned in my original post

'ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL'- i.e rod/piston strength & weight, the shorter stroke engine will be able to rev higher, before mechanical limits come into play, due to the lower piston speed.

More revs = more combustion cycles per unit time = more torque = more power (if the motor is designed/blueprinted for it)

Yes, the 3L has more capacity (approx 66cc per chamber, wow), but, within this engine design, IMHO it's not as important as the rev limit of the motor with regards to how easily it makes big (v.big) power.

Hope this clears things up

p.s Wil- no more taking my posts out of Whoretown :sick:

So am I'm missing something? Mona shouldn't go RB30 bottom end because she'll need to rev it to 15krpm?

Some of the VL guys down south ROUTINELY rev their VL RB30 combos past 9krpm - one sees 11krpm from time to time.

In other words - I don't see your point.

Dude with every post there are more misconceptions brought into the equation. You start off talking about a street motor on pump fuel, then jump to quickest GTRs in the world, then back again to street motors and longevity, and then talk about theory and limits.

Throughout all of this you've thrown in misleading statements, outrageous and unverified claims, and total bullshit.

I only get my back up over misleading information, if you want to go ahead and talk up RB26 combinations go for it - I really don't care. But other people can and will get the wrong idea over misinformation, which isn't a good thing.

For anyone who still cares:

Nissan had the RB30 design from the mid 80's

The RB26 came out in the late 80's

They could have used the 3L engine in their soon to be all-conquering 'group A homologation' race special (ie R32 GT-R)

Can anyone give me a coherent, logical reason why they chose to design an engine with 2568cc capacity rather than just use a twincam head on a balanced and strengthened version of an engine they already had- that was 2962cc?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.

      Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
