Hi peps,

I have seen the tomei 2.8 stroker kit and was pretty impressed with bigger capacity yet it has a shorter stroke than std, which in my limited experience would equal more torque with less strain on bearings?

There is a few different piston sizes available in both a normal and "cooling channel" varient... i have no clue what the "ccoling channel" is what it offers and if its a benefit or not?

any input is appreciated

cheers

yeah thats how they add the extra capacity....more stroke

Hey Trav,

Getting another GTR... thats a ellenbrook secret mate!!! :)

My bad before... obviously there is more stroke to produce bigger capacity and therefore more torque... i ment the rods are shorter than std and therefore less strain on bearings... i have heard that the longer the rods the higher the load on the bearings, so a stroker kit with shorter rods kind of gives the best of both worlds???

anyway... if anyone knows about the cooling channel i would like to know for my secret!!!

Hot one out in ellenbrook tonight eh? seabreeze howling in woodvale :)

Mums the word lol

hmmm i would have thought from a physics point of view that the load on the bearings would be irrelevant since the force is parallel to the rod. Its not like the force is a shearing type

rotating force is ment to increase by the square of the RPM or something like that... so even a small increase in rod length might not seem much at low RPM, but rev her up to 8000 RPM and you can have a whole load of extra rotational force being laid out onto the bearings.

so yeah... to keep on track of this thread... cooling channel anyone... what is it, is it better, whats the advantage??? :)

cooling channel aids cooling of the top of the piston crown by some say 40 deg c around about n e way. i was led to believe that there slightly smaller pistons than the typical JE or the likes forge ones on the market today and longer stroke?? confirm?

They only use shorter rods because they have to to fit it all in a stock block. Stock GTR rod/stroke ratio is below optimum, as the rod is on a larger angle to the cylinder, especially when it is a right angle to the crank(where it produces max torque)this results in higher frictional losses. It does have the side effect of reducing detonation, but increases piston accelleration around TDC and BDC

Cooling channel is just a channel that runs under the piston crown that is in line with the oil squirter so some of the oil that squirts under the piston runs thru the channel and helps cool. This is old diesel tech. The 26 has a less than ideal rod/stroke ratio standard and making it shorter speeds up the piston thru the top even more making the combustion process even faster and can lower the peak hp/rpm although the extra stroke would increase hp. The shorter rods can also slow the piston thru the area of max valve lift again reducing the ability to make hp. The rb26 does a lot of things wrong in theory but still seems to make plenty of hp and loves to rev but i would like to see how a 26 crank in a giken/30 long block would go with some long conrods.

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      By WR33KD · Posted

      I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
