R32 W/r34 Head - Not Boosting

Here is the back story:

I had the timing belt tensioner stud break while the engine was running. My engine had a few bent valves as a result.


I had a freshly rebuilt R34 head sitting on the shelf that I was saving for an RB30 build. It found its way into my R32. I used the R34 cams and swapped the R34 cas too.



The problem:

It only makes about 1/2 the boost that it should. It also sounds odd. It sounds like the timing is wrong.


Is there a difference between the R32 and R34 timing marks? Do I need to remap for the R34 head and cams? Or something else?

It is a stock R32 RB26 block. The manifolds are R32. I have replace the head, cams, and cas with parts from an R34 RB26. The head was rebuilt by a very experienced head builder. I rewired the cas plug to suit the R34 cas. I used a new oem head gasket. I also put in head studs while the head was off.

It's probably not relevant, but I also has an R34 crank, oil pump, and turbos installed. These upgrades were done a few years ago, and shouldn't have any effect.

I think that covers everything!

Your compression ratio would be a fair bit higher now.

I think my first post was a little confusing. I didnt use an RB30 block. I bent some valves. Rather than replace the valves, I replaced the entire head with one that I was saving for a different build.

According to your link the compression ratio would be exactly the same across all GT-Rs.

There is a difference in valve timing (not lift or duration) according to this Tomei chart but I don't know if that would halve the boost:

      I wouldn't be concerned at all, other than to suggest having them flow tested when you receive them to confirm they are reasonably similar, and then put the highest to lowest flowing ones in cylinder 6,1,5,2,4,3

      I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
