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!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
