Hard Quistion About Rb26dett


Recommended Posts

Hi all you guys

why rb26dett damage crankshaft ? when it powers littel

like big single and more fuel?

i have too many people says that it breaks its crankshaft so that

its not durable for daily use

one of my friends changed the engine 3 times and naw he swaps

to 2jz-gte because it handel 700hp with stock internals

plenty of people are getting big hp on a stock gtr crank - not only street use either.

who tunes his car?

do a search, that might help you a little more

an RB26 is just a motor- if it has been poorly serviced during it's life (and that could be a loooong life if ur talking about a 32), it will do a bottom end bearing as easily as any engine where the owner didn't give a shit about changing the oil regularly. even standard

big turb, more fuel?: yes- due to lower efficiency at low revs (where most street engines spend most of their time), and usually combined with lowered comp ratios on rebuilt engines AND bigger injectors (which give much poorer fuel atomisation); which automatically means worse economy.

People forget how advanced this motor was for its time.......

They also forget how advanced a GTR was for its time.....

Not many people do the right thing when it comes to maintenance...even changing oil.

Not many tuners will advice that they should maybe think of rebuilding the motors....

Not many who blow there motors have a rev limiter or correctly functioning parts ..ie fuel pump...oil pump

and sometimes water pump.

So...the answer to your question...

Poor maintenance..poor set up..(on a 15 year old engine)..without much knowledge on the engines condition

and its previous use can cause lots of engine failures.

You say your friend has done 3 motors....

How does he drive?

How high does he rev the motor?

Has the car got a after market computer?

How often does he change the oil?

Please outline yourself before saying these sort of things.

I know of one such case......

Every time a second hand motor was ordered.

The HKS cams came off the old motor

The Turbo's N1 Group A were taken off the old motor.

Then put back with a stock computer.

Hi revs..with Cams that only work on a after market computer caused all failures.

There was no rev limiter inplace...so regularly it would rev to 9K

I have a GTR33 96....the first things I did was to change oil pump..,water pump, fuel pump and timing belt.

I never revved it high until I had a Powerfc..tune and correct boost controller inplace.

High revs without quick engine oil changes(filling to 1 litre over mark) can damage cranks.

Especially stock cranks.

the only advanced thing about RB26's in 1989 was the ignition system (optical crank-angle sensors, sequential injectors, and coil-on-plug ignition was well ahead of a lot of cars in the late 80's). but the Z32 300ZX copped just as good anyway, as well as other Nissan engines

the engine design/mechanicals, and non-sequential turbo set-up, on the other hand, was very much straight down the line

okay- i'll pay the ceramic 'turbs (even though they are only good for standard, non-race cars), but exotics had multi-throttle set-ups long before that: 6 dual down-draught carbies on Ferrari or Lambo V12s, anyone?

iv built many big hp rb26s with stock cranks,iv wittnessed marks gtr make 1000hp atw with a lightly modded stock crank,iam driving a gtr atm that makes 550hp at all 4 with stock crank,so u need to check other avenues

    • What is the go to gearbox these days for a RWD RB? Back in the day VG TT boxes were cheap and strong. Seems they are as expensive as an RB25 box these days. What are the options without remortgaging the house? 
    • Define "Nissan big brakes". You just mean standard R34 4 pots? And...it's not even the offset you need to worry about. It's really a detail of how much clearance there is between the caliper and the back of the spoke/face, which is affected more by the design of the spoke than it is by the offset. If you think about it....take any wheel, say a 19x8 that does fit and clears the caliper. Then add or subtract an inch of wheel on the outside, without changing anything else. You have changed the offset by half an inch, but not changed the clearance situation at all. Same for if you add or subtract an inch from the inside edge. The way for you to work this out is to take a wheel off the car, grab a straight edge and a ruler or two, and start to measure the distances from the wheel mounting face on the hub to the outer face of the caliper, and the outer diameter (that faces the barrel of the wheel) of the caliper. Armed with these dimensions and any other measurement that grabs your fancy while you are there, you can then go to the seller of the wheels and do the reverse measurements from the wheel's mounting face and see if there will be clearance to the caliper. There really should be. I have 17x8 RPF1s +35 clearing the caliper face by a finger tip. Those wheels do have pretty thin spokes with some curvature.... but then so do most wheels to suit Jap cars.
    • So I’ve got a r34 sedan that I managed to get green stickered, meaning I need to go through government approved wof station for my car to be allowed back on the road for some reason my car is certed for 19x8 rims.. I need these wheels  does anyone know what offset will be fine to clear Nissan big brakes? I saw 35et for sale near me, I can’t drive the car to test fit or risk being fined ..   I searched heaps online couldn’t find anywhere..
    • Okay, with all that being said about sloppy blowing from twins, I happily acknowledge the superiority of a single turbo setup on the RB; however, I still plan on double trouble.  I know the -9s were quite popular for some time because they seemed to meet that sweet spot between the -7s and 5s, would introducing VCAM and/or stroking to 2.8L provide the additional displacement/flow to push twins closer to the 500-600 goal?  Does it make more sense for a daily to just do an engine overhaul, slap some -7s on it and enjoy a bit more reliable power?  Has anyone driven a mine's overhauled and tuned engine?  I know they certainly don't approach the power numbers that you drag monsters do down under, but for daily street usage, I just want it to be fun and healthy.
