Just looking at the ACL site, it shows that the RB25 / RB26 pistons are different in 2 areas:

Crown volume - RB26 = 16.3cc, RB25 = 11.5cc

Comp Height - RB26 = 30.3mm, RB25 = 31.3mm

I think the Comp Height difference means you will smash a RB25 piston into the head of a RB26, because the piston sits higher on the gudgeon pin / small end.

I would imagine most others are the same.

And RB265 / RB26 have different stroke, so you probably can't use the same rods either.

well your totally wrong about the rods they fit either engine, the rb26 has 2 more mm's of stroke but it has 1 mm less of compreson height, and the dome cc's compensate for the extra mm of stroke thats my theory ive talked to soem engine builders in the states and they told me ill be fine i entered all the calculations on my engine calculator shows 8.1 compresion just want to knwo if thiers something im missing or if thiers something that wont fit

Why ask if you're going to research and find the answer yourself???

Big mistake.............Good luck! ;)

You cannot use the rb25 pistons in the 26, due to different deck height, comp height, gudgeon pin height.

I say we let him work it out himself as he's gotten some excellent advice................

Yup, a good bloke.........

He may have been through some shit man, but it doesn't excuse talking to people like shit trying to help him.

He's getting advice, he should be thankful and not take what he's being given for granted, even if his mates in the US know everything.

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
