yes i know there are other rb24 threads out there, i've read them, none really seem to answer my question however. I'm not an engine man, as ull come to find out, but i know one thing, i love the sound, revability and reliability of my rb20. i'm not looking for huge power figures, but some more power would be nice. I dont want to be like everyone else as put a 25,26,30 in, doesnt interest me. the RB22/24 does however and i came across an opp to buy one in a car already built. It's a Tomei kit, so forged pistons and GTR crank. i guess my worry is, that the 24 will basically just be a 25, but really unreliable.
looking at the bore and stroke differences it makes me think, being someone chasing a nice revvy engine, am i taking a step back going with the 24? will going less over-square make it less rev happy than the 25/26/30, especially with the smaller head of the 20?
if so is it worth me still picking up this nice little package, but maybe replace the long GTR crank with a 25 or 20 one, go back to the shorter stroke, but keep all the goodies that came with it and sell the GTR crank for some nice $$$?
i dont mind building a little 20, but when this came a long, it just seemed to perfect to pass up, most of what i read into rb24's was that they were just to expensive for what u were getting, i guess im asking u guys, if u took the cost aspect out, would u go a internally modified rb24 over a stock 25 or 30 if u were chasing a bullet proof rev happy engine?
