Right...new project. Im considering building an RB24DE for a mint KHGC110 ive aquired. Im keeping faithful with the vintage of the car in the respect of N/A multi throttle power but i feel a modern twin cam engine is the way to go instead of building a tripple carby L24 or L28 engine. What do i need? and what advice can be offered?

thanks

stuff the rb24. for na you cant be cubes. at least put an rb30 bottom end on. rb30de. then use an rb25 head or rb26 head if u got money. then if u have more money buy the stroker crank and make rb34de.

tight fit to physically fit the rb30 block in a KHGC110

rb24 is built with a rb26 crank in a rb20 block - there is about 35mm less deck height then the rb30 and this means the difference between the bonnet closing or not

bit sketchy but basically rb26 crank and rods and 82mm pistons

yeah, NA RBs are really a motor for people who've got a bit of coin to spend. so much more power and cost efficient to just turbo, thus the NA side of things never really developed. hardly any R&D and what not.

RB24DE would be damn awesome though, or even an RB26DE!! i've heard an L28 with injectors directly spraying into the trumpets - gave me goosebumps!

Na's are for those with coin....?

or the time ..Eug, i aint rich ....culdnt afford to run a turbo lol...but me im in it for the fun and to be different. must be my love of old rally cars.

Build an RB24DE, using an RB25DET block and RB20DET Crank, This will give you the extra cubes without the longer stroke = happier revs. Their is such thing as an RB24e, which is an RB25 block, rb20 crank, rb30e pistons and head, plus carbies, revs to 8k.... Not sure what rods were used... rb20det (?)

then you could put the max oversize pistons into the rb25block and nearly see 2.5L again :D, though smaller pistons can be lighter, which would be better for more revs. I think RB25 block, RB20 crank, RB26 Head (ITB + Solid lifters), lightweight rods and pistons, combined with the lightweight crank all balenced correctly should see some nic3e revs :).

I actually had been pondering building somthing like this down the track, out of spare parts i have, with RB30e Pistons and Head, rb25 block and rb20 crank, becuase i can, then feed it stock vlt gear and it would purr along nicely :).

im not sure on the clearance issues in the KHGC110 engine bay, but i think that even an rb25 block would be a tight fit

but for sure - a rb20 crank in a rb25 block would be better for revs then a rb26 crank in a rb20 block.....

Yeah first thing I thought of when I read the topic was using the 20 crank in the 25 block, with an RB26 head, because you're going to want to rev the tits off.

and it's was actually called an RB24S (RB24E would indicate fuel injection) it was a carby motor, if anything it's more closely related to the nissan patrol RB30, the only main difference being the stroke (and block height). The RB24S came out in malaysian cefiros/laurels.

well time is money :)

but yeah i do understand, you'd only do it for the passion of it.

Nah its a RB20 with RB26 rods and crank (custom pistons).

L31 will be an easier build as its been done countless times before and stays true to the era. L31 with 40mm webbers will sound awesome.

Good to see another N/A build going on.

For me I've always wanted to build an N/A RB and now I have the challenge of building it to a capacity limit of 2000cc. I'm very keen to see how you get on with the extra cubes.

As far as the induction goes, fuel injection will make it more driveable than side draughts, but for outright power there is nothing wrong with three Webbers. Webbers are quite costly now and that is the main reason I went injected.

Whats the car going to be used for? Weekend driver or weekend racer?

oh yeah my bad, didnt even think of that

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
