Not according to CR calc. This is assuming the head is 64cc and the piston is 15cc dome.

thank you for your help.

afaik RB25 stroke is 71.7, not 72.

And it seems to me that rb25 ans rb26 have slightly different combustion chambers (rb26`s a bit larger):

some data pieces found via google:

wiseco`s catalogue says rb25 head is 66.5 cc, and rb26 head is 70cc

here is 62cc@rb25:

here is 63cc@rb25 and 64cc@rb26^

where is the truth? ;)

i just want to know what CR will my engine have...

Adriano is right, you do need the exact volume of what you are using, the only way to do that is to cc your head/piston dome etc..

let me correct what I wrote before with the correct stroke for an RB25, this is using a 71.7mm stroke, 86mm bore, 1mm head gasket, 15cc piston dome, 85mm piston top OD with the top ring 6.4mm from the top with a range of different chamber sizes:

64cc- 8.46:1

63cc- 8.6:1

62cc- 8.74:1

61cc- 8.89:1

60cc- 9.04:1

Now the same using an RB26 crank and pistons, 73.7mm stroke, still zero deck and 15cc dome, 1mm head gasket, 85mm piston top OD with the top ring 6.4mm from the top:

64cc- 8.67:1

63cc- 8.81:1

62cc- 8.96:1

61cc- 9.11:1

60cc- 9.27:1

These numbers are assuming that the volumes are what's written above, a smaller dome will drop the compression, a thicker head gasket will do the same and vise versa. Don't rely on this or what's in a catalogue or you find on a google search, use the volumes that are specific to your own engine. The domes on the forged pistons available for these engines range from around 5cc to 16cc from what I have seen and this makes a huge difference to the compression you will achieve. Also, the compression height of these pistons vary by .2-.3mm depending on the brand which will change your deck clearance. The best way to check this is to dummy the engine up and measure it.

Also, many people ignore the volume around the piston top down to the first ring but this is a part of the chamber volume and on one of these engines comes out around .9 to 1cc depending on the ring depth and the piston top diameter.

If you want to give me the actual numbers you have I dont mind calculating it for you.

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
