Project: Green Bastard

[BenC]

Well the exterior hasn't started yet. Going to be painting it a dark green with a few other nick nacks;-). Heres what it looks like now





The pull




Got some good progress in there today





It is infact bored out to 83mm but it shows different in the photo



cylinders appear to be in great shape



Gonna Pull out the crank/rods/pistons tomorrow and start ordering some goodies I think i also have the super expensive tomei Headgasket aswell. Gonna have to bite the bullet and pick up another one

[Braden @ JNS Imports]

looks good, so i assume your doing a rb2.3 or 2.4L ?

green will look sexy

[BenC]

Well its already bored to 83mm. I think stock is 78mm? correct me if im wrong. Got the pistons/rods out today. I can't seem to get the crank pully off though. Is it just the huge bolt in front or am i missing something??

Anyways if the pros could chime in and tell me which RB the crank and rods are out of and if the pistons are forged?? That would be great. Enjoy...












Cheers

The crank and rods are stock, but I can't tell which RB its from. With 83mm bore you might have supra pistons (MK III, 7MGTE) or ( CA18DET Pistons )

Its a little of because of the bore but a basic idea of your displacement, depending on the crank and rods. Your smallest displacement is 2.2 ltr. That engine must have pulled hard before your took it out.

Rb20 - Nissan Built
Rb21 - 80mm Pistons In Rb20
Rb22 - 82mm Pistons In Rb20
Rb23 - Rb25 Crank And Rods W/ 82mm Pistons In Rb20
Rb24 - (two Ways Known To Me) Rb26 Crank And Rods With 82mm Pistons In Rb20 Or Rb25, 26 Destroked With Rb20 Crank And Rods
Rb25 - (two Ways Known To Me) Rb26 Stroker Kit Crank And Rods With 82mm Pistons In Rb20 Or Nissan Stock

I would say the rods are stock as they have nissan stamped on it. lol

Also it must have sounded nice as hell with that 2.2 litre displacement

lol thanks for the comments guys. It was fun for the week i got to drive it. sounded like a mixed rb20/rb25/rb26 sound lol. It was running stock boost (no boost controller) and a ridiculously rich tune also a massive fmic and a 2535 so it had some lag.. haven't experienced the full potential yet.

I know the crank and rods are from nissan i just need to know which RB they came out of so i can start ordering parts;-) I got all winter to build this up so i may aswell save for good quality parts. should be a fun season next year!:drive:

Bump! noone knows what internals these are?

I can take measurements, more pics, ect... any help would be much appreciated.

Also my crank pully will not budge. The nut was no problem but the pully itself is on there like a steering wheel would be.

Thanks
Ben

rb24 needs 83mm pistons or it does not pass 2349cc to count as a true rb24
your rb23 is actually a rb22

and you are absolutely dreaming if you think 82mm pistons in a rb20 is 2.2L

Allright here are the calculated numbers.

RB20 - 78mm X 69.7 = 1998cc
RB21 - 80mm X 69.7 = 2102cc
RB22 - 82mm X 69.7 = 2209cc
The 82mm pistons would almost be bang on 2.2ltr
RB23 - 82mm X 71.7 = 2272cc
RB24 - 86mm X 69.7 = 2429cc
RB24 - 83mm X 73.7 = 2393cc
yes you were right on this one my bad, I was just typing them off the top of my head ;-)

P.S. with a 83mm bore your RB20 with stock rods and crank should be a 2.3 ltr or 2263cc's.
