Carby RB24S Engine

[funkymonkey]

I found out about ths engine while I was scouring the world for a cefiro for my old man... and I've found it in Nissan Altima 2.4 (Ceffy's with 2.4 litre RB24S engines) around Asia mostly (specifically in Saudi Arabia and the Phillipines).

Its apparently a inline 6 carbed engine rated at 141HP.

I'm also making a website cataloging most of the RB series engines, and the cars they were in, so does anyone have any more info on this wierd and wonderful RB engine (and yes it IS an RB engine).

Apparently these engines also exist:

RB24S

RB30S

CA16DE

CA18S

CA20S

SR18DE

RB20E

But I'm not really after info on em

[PHaT MR30]

RB30S VL Commodore (New Zealand model)

CA16DE EXA (the targa top ones)

CA20S S3 Bluebird

RB20E Skyline pov pack (apparently these even come in a NEO form in R34s??)

and ive seen a video with an r31 coupe with an RB24 of some sort with triple carbs and a heap of stuff done to it and it sounded horn!

[funkymonkey]

yeah RB20E's are the Plasma series Engines from R32 onwards, along with RB25E are options on 32's, 33s and 34's.

Hey you'd be a good person to ask, know of any 1989 Cefiro's goin around with RB20DET's or RB25DET's in em that are for sale? Preferrably Auto (for my old man, I want the engine)

[PHaT MR30]

there was some posted up a while ago b4 the server went down, i was looking at one of them when i bought my car.. although it ended up being a lil out of my price range as it was not complied/regoed.

I wonder if an Rb24s would be a cheap upgrade for a Rb20? As in block swapover or whatever?

[cobo_11]

Now I know I am new to cars and Skylines and etc etc etc, but WTF!?

A carby fed RB engine!?

Why the hell would you do that?

[funkymonkey]

coz they could lol... its one of the earlier RB engines, like the Plasma's.

[StraightSix]

Because it's cheap, and if you don't need injection to meet emissions, and you want to cut the price, why not?

i'm interested in the 2.4 engine, after all i am looking into getting a 32 with either a rb25 or rb20.

i called the distirbutor here once to ask them about parts for the RB20 or RB25 engines, their response was that they never had any parts for any engine that has initials starting with RB, also they told me that spare parts for the CA20 engine are available (orignally on a laurel).

i guess the parts are interchangable between the CA20 and the CA18, but what about the altima's 2.4 and the R32's RB ?

many thanks

[funkymonkey]

I don't think thy'd be too compatible, one being a carby and the other being ECCS.

heard quite a bit about the rb24s but nothing exciting.

also dont forget the sr16ve.

there were a numbers of other rb motors but they were specials put together by tuners so not nissan. never heard of an rb 25e I have heard of and driven an and rb20e yuk yuk yuk they wont go over 150 or 160 klms some one told me. I might know of an rb 20det cefiro auto here in aus. and lastly dont for get the rd28 diesel as used in the laurels and a few other cars.

cheers

I doubt the RB24 would be a realistic upgrade path since there would be next to none of these available in the country and even very few available overseas.

I believe there were some diesel R30 and R31 Skylines in Japan. Perhaps this engine saw use in those as well. Will get back to this thread with more info.

[Mazinger]

i meant if they were compatiable in terms of pistons, rings, bearings, belts and bearings seals...etc.

because as far as i know, the 1jz engine shares a lot with the 2jz, thats why many people around here are getting 1jz powered mark ii's. just wanted to know if it was the same with the skylines.

RB 24S replaced the L24,L28 .for counties like carbean that cant fix RB20E.

2 liter block and crank with 3 liter bore size.RB30S is also speced for the R31,GULF STATES.

My RB20E R31 passage goes good now ive using a rb30e auto trans controler.

I have a RD28 manual fitted in pintara wagon.all factor R31 diesel bits.good for towing.13.5 km/l worst tank.4200 rpm in gear on governor[5500 free rev] loaded or un loaded..

[meggala]

hey dave did you source the rd28 locally and are they the same motor as the early patrols?

cheers

[meggala]

surprise surprise I find my a31 cefiro's fuel economy very very good on the highway 630 klms to 55 liters not bad for a turbo

[Chef_32]

was just in the middle east 2weeks ago, saw heaps of these carby cefy's , was really excited at seeing all these mad potential drifters. but i don't think they go that well

[funkymonkey]

well cefy's are the old maxima's... so I guess the RB24S was the standard maxima engine in that region... come to think of it, I think Sri Lankahad the same car.

[Mazinger]

all the cefiros (altima) here are FWD,but i dunno which engines they used.

not for drifting i am afraid
