hay all just have a few question,firstly its an rb20 and for the build i so far have r33gtr cams,crank shaft and conrods. to fit the crank and rods the engine needs to be machined?for clearances?also can get some rb26 pistons for cheap,or would i be better of getting some forgies although i am on kind of a tight buget?also what kind of displacement would this take the rb20 to +do for it torque wise?

thanks all in advance

more power,yes i am on a tight buget but have a brother that owns an engine reco workshop ie can do all the engine machining block blue printing ect.......for free and have a friend thats a good machanic that is gonna pull down the engine with me and put it all back together.+have alot of the parts for it already.

You can either get Tomei 2.4L pistons which i think are 82 or 83mm or you can try some custom cosworth etc pistons. The head gasket will msot likely be Tomei as well to suit the new bore.

Do a search for RB24, you should be able to get plenty of good infto. Particulary from Legend01 who built a nice 3000rwkws example

thanks for all the input,was just asking about the pistons gtr didn know the difference in size(bore).buget don't really have one just don't want to go stuiped.as i have just purchased a 2way and coilovers and in the process of buying a turbo 2530 maybe 2535 or 40 considering the build,thoughts?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • 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?
