Hey ...am desperate for some professional advice on my rb26..

we assembled my moto with main and rod bearing at .0025 - 0028 ... we used standard bearing size and measured it properly. I know its wide but it still within in factory specs of max 0.0034..

I have a n1 pump with remix gears fitted .on start up am getting 78psi ...when the moto is warm am getting 30psi at idle... at around 5k reving am getting between 68psi ans 72 psi and the pressure will stay there..

The service manual says at 6000rpm u should have on average 66psi. so while am within factory specs am a honda driver and am accustomed seeing 90psi and rev to 9500...

Am using 20-50 none synthetic oil ..still in break in period.... I have tried to locate bearings to bring the clearances to at least 0.002 but am having a hard time..

I know its not all about psi ...but am not looking to race the moto just get it up to 400hp .. would the moto be ok with 70psi ..not looking to rev pass stock limiter either..

Am trying hard to aviod a expensive jun or tomi pump... would a lil thicker oil help?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
