Ok so theoretically say we have two engines of the same spec apart from compression.

One is 10.5:1 comp and the other is 8.5:1 comp. If the 10.5:1 motor is on 7psi, would it make the same power as the 8.5:1 motor on the same boost?? Sorry i'm a n00b.

no, you would expect the higher compression motor to make more power for the same boost and start making its boost earlier, however if you are running the turbo out of flow then you may end up with similar peak power figures given everything else in the engines are equal.

How about an RB25 or 26 Block, 26 crank, 25/26 conrods but use NEO pistons to bump up the CR. The extra 2mm of stroke will bump up the compression ratio (you'd need to use a calculator to work out the final compression ratio). But a NEO is 9.0:1 factory so you'd gain a reasonable amount from that stroke.

It may go too far though and cause the piston to stick too far out of the deck. Possibly hitting the quench pads. You definitely wouldn't want a heavily shaved head or block.

Just an idea, it might be easy to get it to work, or it might be nearly impossible.

the rb25 pistons are all the same, the neo head has a smaller combustion area which is what gives it the higher cr, the 26 pistons have a different comp/pin hieght to account for the extra stroke, but you still have to work out the static comp ratio when chopping and changeing crank/rod/piston setups.

as long as you keep a 0 deck hieght and have a 1mm+ head gasket you wont have piston/head clearance problems, piston/valve comes down to cam duration and timing more then anything, if its to close for comfort then you can get/have the pistons flycut for valve clearance

to get the cr up you have to reduce combustion area, where it be by shaving the head or getting pistons with bigger domes the end result is the same.

lifting comp ratios has the same effect on turbos as N/As, the higher the cr the high the PSI in the combustion camber at TDC, the higher the pressure the more force on the piston pushing it down and in turn giving more power.

adding boost means your compressing pressurized air( boost pressure ) inturn increasing combustion pressures which gives more power

Wrong. 9.0:1

I think the misconception here comes from the fact that the commonly used "off the shelf" pistons that CP sells for the RB25DET (which are not suitable for use in Neo's) are 8.5:1 rather the the OEM 9:1.

When you buy CP pistons for a Neo they are a custom non stocked item and they simply copy the exact Neo OEM piston, so the standard offering is still 9:1 unless you want further customization.

    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
    • I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
