Thats okay, but after speaking to some of the big tuners over in the States and Japan they all state that they remove the squish zones and use a custom piston to suit hence the purpose of this post since they arent reluctant to release what combustion chamber/piston design they use that allows high compression (9.0-9.5:1) with a fair amount of boost (1.5Bar) on pump fuel. And before anyone says Japan has better fuel the US doesnt and they still seem able to do it

So what, how much ignition timing have they pulled out of it?

How rich are they running it?

What's the average power?

What's the response like?

In the US they chase the max horsepower number, they don't care about anything else

:) cheers :P

why bother with all this stuff when rb 25 & 26 heads really only need a port job and the correct cam for your application... there are rb25 making 600 rwhp plus std head ported... & rb 26 heads ported making 1000 plus hp...leave alone what already works...

cheers, mark.

Proengines: Thanks very much for your input. I have drawn up some other chambers as you mentioned, I didnt quite understand the one about the V8 Wedge engines so I will wait for a clarification. If you can let me know which of the combustion chambers will work the best.

My engine specs are RB26, high comp (9.0-10.0:1) running 1.5 bar and pump fuel to make 500awkw which is approx 800bhp.

Chamber images:

1. Totally removed squish inlet and exhaust

2. Reduced squish inlet and exhaust allowing flat top piston due to piston entering the chamber where the squish was removed

3. Reduced exhaust squish with a Edyne style piston

I greatly appreciate your's and everyon elses opinion

In our RB20DET GTS4, TurboX(Greg) spent hours removing any sharp machining edges and blending the chambers smooth by hand.

The compression ratio drop is very small. We have had the boost set at 15psig so far with no dramas.

Okay, well I dont want this to turn into a heated discussion. From the impression I am getting people in Australia dont modify the combustion chambers other than polishing and radiusing the edges.

Is it possible to run 9.5:1, 1.5 Bar and Optimax Extreme?

Don't know, never tried it.

I do know 2 bar, 9.0 to 1 and Shell Optimax Extreme 100 ron is not a problem.

:glare: cheers :laugh:

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.

      Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.

      That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
