RB24 is made by using RB26 crank and rods yeah?

yeah gtr rods crank and 81 mm pistons either toyota factory semi forged or tomei stroker kit bore out the 20block and also a custom head gasket or tomei head gasket

Must be pritty cheap then, Also anybody done this and how hard was it?

I have all the parts necessary to build an RB24 and I have had them for about 5 years;

GTR crank

GTR rods

ARP rod bolts

ARP main bearing studs

ARP head studs

4AGZE pistons (high pressure cast with ceramic coating)

Total Seal Piston rings

ACL race series bearings

Cometic cylinder head gasket

and a 180,000 ks RB20

All I need to build the engine itself is a Nissan RB20 gasket & seal kit, a set of cams, pulleys, valves, valve springs, solid follower conversion and some machining, inc porting the cylinder head.

But I haven't done it, in that time I have done 2 X RB30's for my own use. An RB30DET using an RB25DE top end and the latest RB31DET with an RB26 top end.

WHY?

Because the RB30 is cheaper to build, cheaper to maintain and much easier/cheaper to get parts for. I can make more power/torque with the RB30 without reving it any more than a standard RB26, so I don't need expensive top end parts, high rpm water & oil pumps, low rpm puilleys for the alternator, power steering pump, shorter diff/gearbox ratios, inlet plenum etc etc. Plus I can do it at lower boost, because the RB26 top end flows so much better. Less restriction at lower boost and higher airflow = more power at lower stress.

It's not the cost of the crank, rods and pistons, they are relatively cheap. It's all the other (costly) things that I need to buy for an RB20 to make the RB24 conversion worthwhile. Stuff that I simply don't have to buy when I build an RB31DET.

I will build the RB24 one day, but just for interest sake, not because it's a good idea.

:D cheers ;)

4agze 81mm doesnt exactly give u the full monty RB24 .. its more RB23 .... 82mm Tomei .... must be gold plated inside for the price.. .... pistons....will get u a more truer rb24..... but for the price... 800cc or so more for 1900bucks .. or 680 for 2sets of 4 toyota pistons from factory new. (340 a set) .. isnt worth stressin about. machine costs are the bigger issue .. and head work to suit the combustion chambers to suit the new bore.

i got over going rb24.... going Rb25.... cheaper.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
