RB20DET stroker engines

Has anyone done any decent research on this?

Urban legend says that RB25 crank and rods can be used to create a "stroker" RB23DET. Seeing as there's only 2mm in the stroke between an RB20 and RB25, this does not sound logical.

Besides I figure that, if it was easy, wouldn't everyone be doing it??

Please enlighten me... :)

also HPI mag is currently doing an RB24 build up

also search in the technical forums ... there's heaps of info there too

but yeah apparently rb25 rods and crank gives 2.3L and rb26 rods and crank gives 2.4L

Only need to go to the next oversize pistons with RB26 rods to get 2.4

I'm not going ahead with mine anymore, so if anyones interested there's a complete second hand RB20 for sale with a set GTR rods and crank in Canberra. I've also got the stock turbo!

PM me!

But it's hard to justify the rebuild in a GTS with the price of GTR's at the moment.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
