ENGINE BLOCK COMPONENTS

SHORT BLOCK RB26 3.0L STEP3 (TRADE IN NEW BLOCK)

Short Block Assembly

Newly developed 2-piece piston achieves increased stroke and connecting rod length while maintaining the same block height. It is now possible to manufacture the product by accepting a new 24U block, previously owned by the customer.

  • The exclusive 3.0L crank is machined from high-end race grade nitride steel that is ion plasma treated to increase surface strength and toughness.
  • A dedicated I-beam connecting rod has been adopted to increase buckling strength by 36%, in preparation for higher torque. The piston pin thickness has also been increased by 22mm.
  • Various design changes were made to countermeasure against heat generated during higher output, such as, changes to valve guide and seat materials, adoption of sodium-filled EX valves, and pistons with cooling channels.
  • Dedicated 36-tooth crank angle sensor and crank angle sensor for V-cam improve signal accuracy in the high-RPM range.
  • Exclusive full counter crank

  • Exclusive I-beam connecting rod with 36% increase in buckling strength and 6 mm longer shaft distance.

  • Billet 2-piece piston

  • The two-piece piston has a higher pin position making it possible to reduce the compression height. The extremely lightweight 313 g pistons, which have cooling channels for oil cooling.
