oh and in regards to the patrol pathfinder, etc block head combine, i was a bit off :cool:

you use the rb30 block, rb26 head and nissan Navara or pathfinder (forgot which one exactly, but a bit of google will surely ifnd it) pistons, conrods and crank.

they will make the engine to a 3.2 or 3.4l engine.

Care to elaborate on exactly how this "might" be possible? Larger pistons dont solve the problem of the block being thin in the bore. Fact is, you can not bore past 88mm with an RB block (all of them) before the cylinder thicknesses get below 2mm.

You can use that bore size if you wanted to grout fill the block as well, but thats not going to work for a street engine, as you would need to do a complete fill to get the strength in the block where it's needed (at the top 1-2" of the cylinder). Even then, an 88m bore is only 3.1lt anyway with an 85mm stroke.

Stroker crankshafts like the one that Spool are developing, combined with a sleeved block (to allow an 88mm bore) are about the only way you can get anywhere near 3.4lt.

3.2lt is easier to achieve. A 6" chevy rod with 1.88" big ends on an offset ground 87mm RB30 crank, with an 87.5mm piston will get you a 3.15lt. 87.5 is about as large as I've "read about" people running without sleeving (not my recommendation though). And you'd want to be dam sure about your tune, so you dont go splitting the thin bores. Having an engine that can only be tuned to 7/10ths is pretty pointless in my opinion.

im not 100% on how it all got done, i didnt do it, the tuner doing my mates skyline did it, i will be going there tomorrow and ill see if i can get a couple of answers.

could be that conrods are shorter or pistons have a differnent top. in which case youll have really low compression but more litres. or even if the crank has a longer stroke/ turning circle. but ill ask him how the fkuk he did that all tomorrow.

since i havent done it i can only speak from word of mouth.

but on another note, i say buy a 24u block and keep your skyline a skyline not a hybrid "Commoline"

i know this thread is about the engine, but is there a car involved??? i kinda got lost after a while....

Well I haven't bought the car yet, like I said it will definitely be within 1-2 weeks. I just need info on this because the Skyline hasn't got alot of forums around, they're either Japanese or in the UK. This site seems to be solid. I only want 3/3.1 litres but if 3.4 is possible then the more the merrier. However I do want the engine to keep that "RBness" about it.

hay dude, whats this patrol block ur talking about, i think the old ones do run rb30's

mine will handle 1000hp and cost me 10k, how does the patrol block make it a 3.5litre, this is interesting...

Pretty sure the patrol block he means is the RD28 diesel block.

There is a 26/28 R33 in the latest Zoom mag with 937rwhp and has run a 8.3 @ 163mph

This thread gives me the shits, bigtime.

Buy the car. Take to someone who has done the rb30 conversion before who is local to you. Pay money. Done.

Mine is a 3L. Makes enough power to scare other built GTR owners. Still revs like an rb26, if you Fu(k it up it won't rev.

I agree Steve. This thread is almost a waste. Why would you want to buy an already well done 400kw R34 GTR [ACCESS] and then go for an RB30 stroker?

Anyway, don't waste your time, I am buying it as a daily driver. :)

Exactly Steve, thats why I popped my head in here..... but I gave up, too much cluelessness here for me.

not sure which Patrol motor you're referring to, RB30S (I have one) is an R31 motor with a carburettor (and 4wd sump, also takes ~6l oil). RB28 or TB42?

Try driving a reletively stock one IMO, then decide whether you want to go more displacement, or bigger turbos etc.

I think I'll be getting the OS Giken 3.15 motor, it seems to be coming from a solid company and I calculated it, I could make it work into the budget. Now because this thing is so expensive I want the best tuner in the country. I would be willing to go interstate for a tune if its necessary. Does anyone know a good tuner with a good workshop?

If you are so concerned about displacement, get a Clubsport!!!

or alternatively:

M3 is 3.2 or 4.5 (?) if it's the V8

2.6x1.7 turbo multiplication as per motorsport regs = 4.42, so basically the RB26 is equivelant to an NA 4.4l, but is even easier to get HP out of. Seriously get the car, drive it for a bit, play with what you get then decide what you want to improve. if it is STRICTLY a road car what the F do you need more than 300hp for? even my stock R32 with a pair of -7s is quicker that all bar the top Porsches/Ferraris/Lambos etc to 100... The way you are talking I would personally be suggesting maybe this

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
