RB26 D20423A

I ordered a motor and it is supposed to be R33 RB26DETT. Above is the engine number that i requested from them. Was wondering if anyone can tell me if it really is a 33. Specifically someone who has the FAST software and maybe they could run the number through it and let me know. Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

My engine no is RB26 038604A from a late 93 R32.. Hope this also helps.

wrxhoon - any idea how to decode the numbers without NISSAN FAST software? Do these numbers mean anything?

I don't think you can tell with Nissan fast how old the engine is by the number.

I have a list of engine numbers and the aproximate built date . You are correct in saying your engine was built in the second half of 93.

How sure are you that it is out of a 32? Just wondering cause the company knows i am going to be checking to make sure it is a 33 and they assure me it is from an r33. Also the reason i want a 33 is so that I dont have to deal with the small crank collar on the early 32s but i also heard that later 32s might not have this problem. Is there any truth in any of this? thanks

The updated / larger crank collar was fitted to late model R32's. My engine was recently stripped down (late 93 model) and its obviously got the larger crank collar. Ask the company to take off oil pump and check the collar..

I'm fairly sure but i can't be 100% sure ( according to my records its a 32, second half of 91 actualy).

Have you got a pic of the engine? The engine may be out of a 33 but originaly was in a 32, someone may have fitted it in a 33. Later 32's do have the 33 crank.

I am doing the swap myself so when i get the motor I will be taking off the oil pan anyway since I need to use the rb25 unit. Is it possible to tell visually by just removing the oil pan? either way I will take pictures and post them up on here of the crank collar. Also I was wondering if the engine number I listed is exactly correct. Should the D be a 0? I had some trouble reading the hand writing of the guy who gave it to me.

      It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.

      100% agree. Best bet on an RB will be NEO, but even it will be a long way off. Emissions is one of the big reasons car manufacturers went to DBW and constantly variable cams. When cruising, open the throttle right up, but reduce dynamic compression so low, that it's basically an unrestricted air pump moving very little air.

      Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.
