Hey guys,

A bit off an odd request, but not sure where to start my search so any help will be appreciated.

I am attempting to run a larger caliper with a slightly small disc and am having difficulty finding a suitable disc, I am searching for something in the range of 360-370mm with a thickness between 32-34mm and with a pad surface area (annulus) of 70mm, these measurements are rough and i can consider discs within a couple MM of the requirements.

I have looked through the entire DBA catalog and only found one disc within the requirements however it is for an Audi and would require a custom hat to be made. I believe my best option is to look at what the after market companies have to offer however finding all the details i need is not always easy, If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

VE HSV are 365mm X 32mm.

I just pulled one out to look at it and the flats are 62mm ...damn...

On a side note someone was showing me the DBA's 2 piece catalog the other day and im sure you will find what you need there, then match it up to the hat and offset you need.

Looked through the whole catalog only disc that was within those requirements was an Audi RS4, so looking for alternatives at the moment but that is an option depending on cost of custom hats.

And kiwi, i am after smaller discs because the regular size will not fit under my rim, and i want best of both worlds :), I understand it will be harder to dispense heat with a smaller disc but the benefits outweigh the downsides.

I just looked in the catalog, they have the outer to suit your requirements, you just need hats made up....

Go to their website, click on products, click on 5000 series road and race and download the catalog.

DBA52804.1 is 360X32X70 pad width, its about 3/4 of the way down the PDF file.

Further down there is a 370mm one but its 68mm for the pad, you could shave the bottom of your pads by 2mm if need be.....

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
