Hey guys

Ive been playing around with RB28 and RB30 parts, which started me thinking of the weight differences between different engines/brands.

This is more of a factual thread, especially for people searching in the future.

Ive found a post from Roy thats a good place to start;

Thread revival.... so who makes the lightest 26 rod that is decent enough, will have to handle around 350rwkws

It seems:

- Pauter are 530g

- Spool 548g

- Carrillo 474-507 depending on which rod

- Eagle 495g (I like)

- Argo ? RB30 rods are 643 so seem towards the heavier end of things

So the Eagles seem cheap, reliable and light? Anything i am missing?

Also this one;

rb26 argos are 568 grams each and rated at 250hp per cylinder

I can add that a custom set of Argo's i just got (2500hp rated, yes huge overkill) is 658g per rod

So does anyone out there have stock rod weights for RB26 and RB30?

Surely someones built a 2.8 and kept their balancing numbers, so post them up aswel please :)

If anyone has any more aftermarket rods to add, feel free to post up exactly what you've got, and how heavy it is

    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
