Keep it simple and stop buying and trying sh1t that is only going to keep it and you off the road longer. Std CAS..Pay someone very vredible to do the rings on your pistons and rhen volt it together

Rings are easy! You just need a good eye and decent tools. You will need the following: - A ring grinder (I used a dremel rock on a cordless at low speed, balls) - A high quality feeler gauge - A n

Great topic. I want to eventually go this way as well. I've got 2 questions for anyone who can help. Sorry if they seem a bit dumb.

Firstly, if you have the Apexi FC + controller for an RB20, is it going to be entirely useless with the new stroked engine?

Secondly, why do folks guess that Lewis Engines goes with a 2.25 stroker? I mean, for the same effort and similar money in parts (???) I can't work out why they wouldn't go with a 2.4. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

To answer your questions:

1) It will work just fine, you will need a retune because of the increase in size and Cam's etc

2) Not really sure why they wouldn't go all the way to 2438cc's If they are changing the Rods, slugs and crank it's something you would have to ask them.

Cheers

id say no got to 2.4 because they offer a kick ass rb25 rebuild package that would cost basically the same

rb22 has different characteristics to it than rb24/25 - longer stroke than the rb20 but shorter than 24/25 and higher revving etc etc etc

call Darren he wont be shy of telling you all about it .. he just did my rb22 with few adjustments here and there from his usual package and im more than pleased with the result for my needs

btw - been following this awesome job on rb24 and commitment to doing something a little different ..well done

The reason it says it is for an rb20 is because it is for the rb20 loom and sensors, it doesn't matter if you have a 5L 6cyl engine in there, it will be be able to tune it providing all the sensors and connections are the same.

Thought I might post a couple of happy snaps of the car that I just recovered of a damaged hard disk.

how about i give you a half finished half circuit, half drag r33 gtst lol

Nooooooooooooo Deal :)

Anyway seeing that the last video audio was pretty crappy, I took this one not long ago for everyone. Still sounds like a rb20 I think :rofl:

Anyone know why so much oil smoke would be coming out the breather and form the back of the engine :S has me a little concerned.

is it bedded in yet??

Nah I wouldn't of thought so it's only done 30 mins on the dyno getting the base run in tune done on the old ECU

I was hoping it was just blow by until the rings bed in.

hi there totally awseome build im doing the same but rb22 im having problems with the pistons touching the oil squirters did you have such problems??

Hi,

No we didn't have these issues, I guess they will only be fouling the squirers by a couple of mm, you could get some spacers machined up to space the squirters out a little more? Another way around is to notch the pistons to give sufficiant clearance to them.

What pistons are you using?

Im using the 4AGZE pistons :(

Everything was going ok until this i dont think i have enough room to space them down as im using the rb25 crank and rods not the 26 crank and rods

Im a bit gutted

any ideas ???

Hey,

Simple, Get a notch machined in the pistons to give clearance to the squirters. You will find they don't clear because the piston pin height is different and the 4agze pistons sit 2mm shy of the deck.

How did you get around this?

Im thinking of getting this notch machined but seems ill have to take out about a 15mm notch height wise :down:

Do you not think this will weakin the piston though.

Im thinkin ill have to go down this route iv come so far want to complete it then i can show the full build

I hear alot about the 4agze piston fitments but know where can i find someone that has done the build just alot of hearsay

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
