[bui]

is there a difference between the R32, R33 and th R34 RB26's?

[palmdale_mob]

ummmm...
Ever heard of searching? lol

[bui]

yea but i cant seem to find it anywhere

[palmdale_mob]

Alright here it is
The r32 has an rb20 which only has 3 cylinders
The r33 is supercharged not turboed
The r34 has 3 turbos, yes three
You are welcome

[bui]

haha thanks smartass
seriously,bull shit aside..

[picho]

Oil pump snouts are different between the r32 and r33-34 as for the wire harness and cam angle sensor between the r34 and the r32-33 they are different as well etc.etc

[picho]

i would recommend r33 and newer u can rev higher with out starving the head with oil

[bui]

thats what i really wanted to get was an r33 rb26
ive searched ALOT of JDM motor importers websites and that all have rb26's from 89-94 (R32) or the R34 Rb..and im not paying for an R34 rb

im wantin an r33 rb26 wth the r33 gts 5spd rwd tranny..anybody know where i can find one???

[picho]

well if you get any RB now a days i would rebuilt it only so you have peace of mind you never know who owned it before and what kind of beating it took you can get an r32 and make sure you put the collar on the crank and you are up to specs. and it would be the same price as if buying a newer RB

[bui]

sooo just settle for an r32 and rebuild it im guessin?

[picho]

yea i recently bought a r33 and it developed a rod knock out of nowhere i think the pump was faulty so i had to rebuilt it, i could of saved money on ordering the older model RB and could of put the money towards the rebuilt better

[bui]

ewww rod knock

[$nicklefritz]

then get an r33 clip /w a 26 in it ,
also the turbos changed as they changed the body styles
ceramic blades or some shit but if yur gonna build it
screw all that.... doesnt matter

[superdaveosbourne]

R32's do have ceramic exhaust wheels on the turbos. They are time bombs. As in, it's not a question of "if" they die, but "when" are they going to die. You can accelerate their death by running more than 1 bar of boost. And you don't have to worry about starving the head of oil, as mentionned above, it's the opposite, oil will pool up in the head and you'll starve the bottom end. You just need to get oil restrictors from Tomei (pretty cheap, search online) to restrict the amount of oil making it up there.

As mentionned above, the oil pump drive on the earlier R32 motors is junk, bounce of rev limiter one too many times and you sheer the oil pump drive out of thee oil pump. I think that R32 motors built after August 1993 have the revised oil pump drive.

There are a couple more differences, but none that really matter.

The first thing you should replace, is your home computer. Evidently yours prevents from finding information that has been covered in great detail for years before you came up with the question.

Start here: http://zilvia.net/f/engine-tech/90376-rb-faq.html and don't stop reading.

If you have a question, look harder. Do not post another question unless you are POSITIVE the answer can't be found somewhere on Zilvia or the internet. We're not here to hold your hand and do your leg work for you.
