Hey guys i know this has probably been asked before but couldnt really find anything

i am building a rb25/30 and am currently looking at a set of forgies to suit a rb30et with an advertised compression ratio of 8.5-1 when used with single cam head.

will this bring my compression down to about 8.2-1 with the rb25det head?

here is some specs on the pistons

Piston Type Forged Ring Set Part # C1686 Compression Height 32mm/1.261in Sizes Available: STD, 050, 1.00 Piston Crown Capacity 4.5cc bs150gtr_ecblank.gifRing 1 Ring 2 Ring 3 Dish Type Steel Nitrided

Barrel plain

Reverse torsional taper face scraper Duraflex 3 piece oil ring Bowl Depth 0mm/in Width 1.5mm/0.059in 1.5mm/0.059in 2.8mm/0..11in Compression Ratio 8.5 Depth 3.4mm/0.133in 3.8mm/0.149in 3.9mm/0.153in Piston Mass 322 grams (0.50) bs150gtr_ecblank.gif1.gif

I work in a machine shop and I've done alot of measurements with my rb30/26;

using JE +0.040" (+1mm) pistons (rb26 10cc domed piston with rb30 piston pin offset) the piston still sat 0.030" (0.76mm) down the bore

you will most likely still need to grind both the block and the deck to get a reasonable compression ratio

Below is the formula (the numbers used are my measurements as an example)

Bore x Stroke

bore x bore ÷ 4 =

87 x 87 ÷ 4 = 1892.25

Answer x stroke x π (pie) =

1892.25 x 85 x 3.142 = 505363.2075

answer ÷ 1000 =

505363.2075 ÷ 1000 = 505.363208 = SV

answer x number of cylinders = cc

cc ÷ 1000 = litre

Head Gasket

Same formula as above though this part is quite often left out

gasket bore squared ÷ 4

87.3 x 87.3 ÷ 4 =1905.3225

answer x gasket thickness x π (pie) ÷ 1000

1905.3225 x 1.4 x 3.142 = 8381.132613

8381.132613 ÷ 1000 = 8.381133 [ + ]

Head Chamber CC

Using a burette cc the head, when I ground my rb26 head I ground off 0.010" which took out 1cc, and same when I took another 0.010". But after grinding another 0.040" It had taken another 6.4cc's out. in total I ground 0.080" off the head and it took out 12cc's

Piston Dome/Dish /dome with valve releifs

They can vary a lot, most piston manufacturers will say what cc they have

mine say 10cc (Dome [ - ]) (Dish [ + ])

Deck height

This is the measurement from the deck to the top of the piston (not top on the dome) when the piston is at TDC

If the piston is below the deck (0.3mm is an example as mine is 0)

bore x bore ÷ 4 =

87 x 87 ÷ 4 = 1892.25

= x deck to piston x pie ÷ 1000

1892.25 x 0.3 x 3.142 =1783.63485

1783.63485 ÷ 1000 = 1.783635 [ + ]

0 Deck height is 0

Piston above the deck (0.017"/0.43mm for this set up)

top measurement of the piston squared ÷ 4

86 x 86 ÷ 4 = 1849

= x piston to deck x pie ÷ 1000

1849 x 0.4 x 3.142 = 2498.10994

2498.10994 ÷ 1000 = 2.49811 [ - ]

Adding it all together

Head CC + Gasket volume

then the following options

+ Piston Dish

+ Piston below deck

- Piston Dome

- Piston above deck

for me

Head cc + Gasket - Piston Dome - Piston above deck = CV

54.4 + 8.381133 - 10 0 = 52.781133

CV + SV =

52.781133 + 505.363208 = 558.144341

Answer ÷ CV = Compression ratio

558.144341 ÷ 52.781133 = 10.574694

=

10.57:1

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
