Yeah i think u missed the budget part about this

It’s where the magic happens! 😂

I will update when I get the time. Right now Iam packing my clothes and going on vacation to Finland. Drifting, beer and women are waiting for me

🤟🏻

This is my back burner project. Got my head in a few moths back, and came up with a good solution to get the vct oil feed relocated and all the oil drain and water ports modified to fit the rd28. My whole goal with this is to get a “2,8” as cheaply made as possible. I don’t say it is the best way but hey, it is expensive as f**k with Rb’s in Sweden. N1. What you need to do to be able to use the Rd block and crank as cheaply as possible is to acquire some Spool import 155mm Rb30 rods. The Rd28 and Rb30 has the same big end diameter, unlike rb20,25,26 rods. First problem! Rd 28 crank has wider rod journals, so the rods won’t be able to self center on crank. My ghetto solution is to make some piston pin spacers to locate the rod against the piston. (Common thing to do in redblocks) N2. Get ur self some RB26 pistons. Iam going to run a s1 rb25 head with vct, and the reason why is that they have the same domes on the pistons as the rb26, and if I would have run a neo rb25 head I wouldn’t be able to run rb26 pistons because of the lower dome the heads use. And now why rb26 pistons ? Because of the 30mm pin to crown height. Rb25 has 31,5 and that would make the pistons be 1mill above the deck. I would rathe use the 26ones and be able to deck block and head and use a normal gasket, instead of a thicker one. (All my measurements for this is lost on my old phone, I don’t have time to write and research everything again right now) this shit post is just by memory while I try to cook food. N3, bore ur block to spec for the 86mm pistons, the RD28 is 85stock and if ur cheap as me and don’t want to order custom shit, do this. ( I will some day update this with the water canals/ oil feeds and oil drain mods nesseseryto the block) ps, there’s some mods to be done, but no hard task. N4. The head needs to be modified to, “kind of eazy mods” ( will upload the way to do it when I have time) the time I never have. In the end I will have to run a PRP dual head rain for both water and oil. N5 put a crank collar on the crank, all rd’s I have seen have the short nose one. N6 figure out a good way to tension ur longer cam belt. the shit above is just from memory, right now I don’t have time to explain it better and in detail. !NOTE! I ain’t saying this is the right way to do a 2.8Rb ( actually 2.892cc ) the cheap way. the diesel crank? I have no idea if it is any good. Piston pin locating bushings? Works in other engines! This shit redneck? ueas. There is a lot of wierd shit I do in life, but this is the way to make the cheapest Rd in sweden. I don’t care what people say, a rb25 is an arm and a leg in my country,m. And I bought 5 rd28 engines for 400usd $. The head cost me 550usd$ (really good condition. The rods brand new from Fb marketplace (dirtcheap) and the pistons was used (150usd$ ) Yes Iam a farmer, yes Iam cheap I really need to learn English better, sorry for the ones that read this shit and got an aneurism.

My dude, i swapped a Rd28TD in to my Volvo 960 ambulance and i have the Rb20-e auto trans and just want it to work. How did u solve this? I guess i need to buy a ka24 tcm?
