i have a 1989 nissan cefiro GTS-R (a31) with a RB24S carburated type engine,

i was wondering how much HP this engine has?

im not sure if i could compare it to the rb20 engine as it has a 2 litre block and

mine's 2.4L., rather it looks very much the same as the rb20. ive searched the internet

but not much info about this...maybe you guys can help...thanks :)

These engines are good "if" you have an rb20 and want to make a hybrid.

you use the rb24 block, crank and rods as these give a longer stroke than the rb20. and you use the head, pistons, and intake, exhaust manifolds from the rb20.

This Gives you a RB24DET. these are very revvy engines and produce better torque than the rb20 because of the stroke. also having a bigger capacity helps a lot too.

You need bigger cams if you want to make any decent power out of em'

(more than 220rwkw)

just buy an rb20 motor loom and computer and build a RB24DET. you will have something a little different too :cheers:

they also have some small advantages over the rb25.

1. rb20 heads dont blow ringlands anywhere as often

2. rb20 upgrade injectors are easier to come by than side feed

3. it looks standard and will be impossible to tell once built!

thanks guys...

im kinda new with this car coz actually i just purchased this car over a week ago, Sold my mitsubishi lancer for it :D...

the only difference i think is that its got a longer stroke than a rb20e, and that its carburated...(hehehe), compared with what most of u guys have i'd say this engine's sux...

since i dnt have the money for an engine swap yet...i think id go for the basic intake~exhaust~headers upgrade first...

by the way guys your website's the best!! more power to you!

    • Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.
    • Make sure to have the block checked for cracking etc before doing anything.
    • Pull it out. Put a suction hose on it drawing from a bucket of petrol. Put a discharge hose on it pointing back into the bucket. Add 12V. That will tell you if it works at all. Then put it back in, turn the engine on, and see if there is 12V on the terminals. That would suggest that it runs when the car does and adds its "capacity" to the total pumping system.
    • So you're telling me this is an external fuel pump? I've had the car for at least 6 years now and it's been there the entire time. I had the car tuned a couple years ago and I had the shop do the fuel system, including a new in-tank Proflow 340 which shit itself about a year later and I replaced it with the same model. I find it odd that they didn't remove this or even make mention of it. I seriously had no idea what it was. How would I test if it's functioning?
    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
