Im pretty sure these engines have an alloy bore no sleeve. I think you will need the 3.5 block with aftermarket pistons to drop compression to 7:1 or so.

If the block is taller due to the stroke being longer, it may make the engine bay tight.

Mmm ive definitely caught the bug...

There is of course the GTR's vq3.8dett :/

VR38DETT... and where, may I ask, will you be putting the GTR's transmission?

according to that guys web jap blog thing for his stagea.. crank and rods.. from vq35.. but who really knows with the translation..

tho his pistons do look forged..

I still think that it is a TEPS modified VQ35DE. Not a 25 with 35 bits.

Ive been getting about 500 a tank but its running too rich when cold at the moment due to the lower boost, blowing heaps of smoke etc. Once the gearbox is repaired, I will get it back on the dyno.

I was also thinking of buying a wideband and teaching myself how to adjust the map.

    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
