Hi guys,

Does anyone know if the RB26 N1 Blocks have smaller restricted oil galleries?

I've searched around the web and also this forum but can't seem to find any definitive information on this (Maybe I suck at searching?). Wiki page states:

The engine also received improved water and oil channels within the engine block. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_RB_engine#RB26DETT_N1)

But this statement does not provide any sources and is pretty vague.

On another forum it was reported that:

Oil curculation to the head is actually reduced in the 24u. Stock rb26 oil gallery orifice is 2mm, n1/24u oil gallery orifice is 1.2mm. This helps to prevent blow by, oil leak from valve guides and insufficient flow to the crank journals. (http://forums.gtrcanada.com/gt-r-tech/19517-24u-n1-block.html)

But following that claim, the person who had the N1 block actually measured the oil gallery from the top of the block at 2mm.

So are the oil galleries really smaller on the N1 block or not? Is it restricted down inside the block but opened up at the top to match all head gaskets?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks guys! :)

I've not noticed any difference at all between the oil galleries in an N1 vs 05u block.

Head flow galleries are the same size as well. The restrictor size is for the most part irrelevant as everyone tend to knock in a 1.1 to 1.5mm restrictor anyway.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else want to weigh in on it as well?

I understand the restrictor size would be irrelevant if both oil gallaries are the same. If I was to rebuild I would definitely put in restrictors but I'm looking at buying a GTR with an N1 block and the ad doesn't state whether restrictors were used in the build or not. That's the real reason behind my question.

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
