Pistons For Your Rb30

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

There's a wealth of info in the rb30 thread - but it would be nice to have a thread about what pistons everyone's used - CR, head gasket used for CR, forged or not, brand, pin heights etc etc.

I saw one guy in the rb30 hybrid upgrade dyno results thread is using 10:1 pistons on a turbo rb30.

Please post away your piston specs - I'm in the process of doing up a rb30 so would appreciate any input!

Cheers

I have 8.3:1 CR, Stock pistons, OEM RB26 Head gasket

How is it off boost?

Aries Pistons, probably can go better but never had a problem and made massive power..

CP's - look on Ebay US, they're cheap as!

Hi there,

I only found the MAHLE RB30 pistons

MAHLE RB30DET

Also these cheap Rods...

Rods

Seems very cheap...just over $1k delivered for forged bottom end parts (how strong thats another question...assuming its at least better then a standard rebuild).

Would those rods suit those pistons ?

good i think? bit hard to say cause i dont have anything to compare too apart from the 25 which this motor eats for breakfast off boost!

how would you expect it to feel?

Heh I don't really have an "offboost" at the moment, this little turbo is on boost straight away! so can't wait to get the GT35R on and make some decent power :D

Hard to say on the net, sluggish i guess is the closest word

....havent been on the forum for long so sorry if this has been covered a billion times.

But when doing the 25/6 head swap on the 30 bottom end doesnt it lower the compression a fair bit due to chamber size (i think i read that sumwhere).

Anyways, how much does it lower it, say if you have 9.5:1 CR with a rb30et, wat would comp be if you just did the str8 up 25 head swap and didnt touch the bottom end?

Thanks

Jon

we just got a new set of mahle 40 thou oversize forged pistons from hi octane. They look very schmick!

Will be the first set of pistons used in one of the many rb30 builds weve done that hasnt come from CP.

Judging by the specs on the piston box i imagine it will net a comp ratio of about 8.2:1, same as the flat tops CP provide for the conversion.

what is considered to high in a turbo. as some one said you can get 10:1 with rb25de piston. mention a couple times in the first 50 pages and again in between page 100-110 of the rb30 thread

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
