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.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
