A video by the person who introduced me to Haltec! All bow to the great Tuning Fork!
Thank you for mentioning the Australia Touring Car Series, most other videos I've watched on TH-cam don't mention the ATCC when talking about the R32 "Godzilla" GTR. More than the Japanese series it was in the Australian series and it's domination against the best from Australia and Europe where the GTR really made it's mark internationally, and eventually lead to the demise of Group A Touring Cars. And of course, it received it's name "Godzilla" from Down Under as well.
CA18!!! I know you had one back in the day mate ;)
CA18DET?? Dont you mean Rb20DET with two cylinders shaved off?.
Nissan should have made more CA18s and kept producing FJ20s instead of SR20det

Great video and info. This convinced me to build a 1JZ instead of an RB26.
I learned a good bit watching this video and enjoyed it very much. Thank you for taking the time to share it!👍🏼👍🏼
Well, Nissan succeeded. That is all. And the car and it's engine became the word of mouth of everyone. A true legend(don't hate on me you 2JZ guys...)
nahh..used to be 2jz lover but then my heart fell towards rb26..sorry 2jz...2jz is great but the kind of energy and promptness rb has, 2jz lacks there!!
Hey brokosky, huge fan of you and the mates from MCM.. Love how you always, and maybe not even realizing it, have the ability too dumb down the information for simple folks to understand. You're very easy to listen to, and I hope your channel the best of success. It's great having all this knowledge at my finger tips at anytime.
Awesome! What a great video of explaining RB engine for who planning to build one. Can you do same kind of video for Totoya JZ and Subaru EJ?

Oh nice thanks everyone!! That makes sense then was thinking it was some combination of both... I'm in the states and where I'm at in the states the RB is almost non existent. It's a shame too I've always wanted to play with a fuel injected inline 6.
@@brandonb8543 plenty of rb cars down in FL where I live along with my own rb powered car. Give it some time cuz we're getting more skylines here as time goes on so you'll start to see more rbs floating around in the future.
I would honestly love to see a video on Subaru's FA20. I know that it's not special or legendary but It'd be great to know its short comings and how to best upgrade it.
500kw on stock bottom end.......lol, my block was worn out with 380kw in no time, circuit work will do that.
The crank flexes and wears bearing and ultimately the block.
RB engine harmonics are also a serious issue, this is why oil pumps break and crank noses break, it isn't just RB's, all inline 6's suffer from poor secondary vibration issues.
This point is hardly ever mentioned with inline 6's and is one of its biggest problems and understand this is important and how it can wreak havoc if not mitigated and checked. My RB 28 broke after a few years of racing time attack too, the crank nose broke, this was on a full HKS built engine with nearly everything done to it for reliability, the secondary imbalances catch up with you in the end.
Saying that drag cars will crack the block before a track car is laughable, the loads on a circuit are continuous for up to 20 minutes at a time and are experiencing harmonic imbalances for long periods of time.
For me the RB is not really an engine I like that much anymore, they are very heavy, too long for packaging in a lot of cars, and In fact inline 6's are not really a good engine for circuit work or making a circuit car fast all together.
The RB was a good engine overall, it achieved great things, but race cars have evolved significantly since the Bathurst. Drag racing is one thing, but the balance of a circuit car is a whole different ball game.
One of the biggest issues when approaching 400kw and over is the use of twin turbos.
I ran 500kwatw with GTX2863's, they were fantastic for response, annihilated any single turbo, even the EFR Borg series, but it came at a high cost, engine heat.
It isn't from radiant heat issues as much as it is form having small rear housings so the exhaust can't get out as well, and the increase boost levels to compensate for reduced LPM flow rates of twin turbos.
I was running 33psi and the reason why you can use a single turbo at 22-24 psi and achieve the same power level is because the turbo has a higher capacity (LPM), and when the inlet valve opens, it does not have such a drastic pressure drop as the piston draws downward (It hurts even more when using higher overlap cams), sadly overcompensating for lower flow rates, means increasing turbo pressure and thus inducing a lot of extra heat from increased pressures, this is by far the most important reason for changing to a single turbo over anything else.
If doing circuit work I can't stress enough for the use of an engine oil coolers and competition radiators and the best inter-cooler you can find, at-least for twin turbos RB's, but the selection of a good single turbo like an EFR8374 or 9180 would be one of the first things to consider if looking at keeping it nice and cool for a circuit car.
A steel crank, or crank girdle is a must upgrade for pushing a track car to these levels for long term reliability. The blocks crack because of weak cranks first, then harmonics second, crank girdles are great keeping stock cranks straight, but realistically a billet crank is the answer (maybe a girdle as well if you want bullet proof). Secondary harmonics ? Well that is a very hard thing to chase and cure and unless you have access to lots of vibrational analysis gear, it is a little bit of calculated guess work. Fluid viscous dampers can def help over vulcanized rubber variants and looking at lightened flywheels and clutch assemblies also helps a lot too, that is about all we can do.
So you are saying it would be well worth the $2500 to install an Integrated Main Cap Brace like the one presented near the end of this video? Most of the issues you mentioned would be eliminated with a brace, since it eliminates the twisting that cause most of the failures you mentioned, or am I wrong in my thinking?
that's Andrew for ya
@@JJ_ExMachina no you are definitely right about the brace from my experience, but if you had the billet crank and brace it would be very strong indeed for many years.
IMO, crank brace girdles are very underrated, they are integral at keeping long engines very rigid and do improve engine rigidity quite well from what I have seen.
@@SimonWorlds ... Thank you very much for the insight... I really appreciate it when people take the time to offer their experiences and knowledge.
Question, in terms of engine heat using water injection or water meth injection , would it not help the heat situation by cooling intake temps drastically ?
Had an RB25DET, soo much fun, took skill to drive as turbo lag, but when it hits.....yeww
Great video.. love the RB series engine ❤
I grew up in Texas as a kid and I fell in love with the Skyline from Gran Turismo back in 92' or 93. Way before Fast and Furious. :(
Gran turismo wasnt a game in 1992 you weirdo
Because it came from the most successful sportscar bloodline in Japanese motorsports history.
Hello from Tulsa Oklahoma! Weird and cool to see our license plate on your shelf! Cheers!

What's so special about RB you ask? When u put the & symbol between them, they make good soul rocking, love making music 😁
My 34GTR split its oil pump. Spoke to my tuner/engine builder and turns out it split due to the pickup in the sump running dry around the hairpins on the mountains. The pump had burn marks and a cracked gear. Needless to say, during my 2.8 stroker build, i decided to get my block strengthend with the appropriate oil gallery + oil return mods, baffled 9l sump with a Nitto billet oil pump AND a Greddy oil cooler. If you are in the same boat as me and are building a new engine, id advise you always protect your investment and eliminate any potential risk and invest in an good pump and deep baffled sump.
You can also upgrade to R8 aka VAG coils, much cheaper for the same performance and available worldwide unlike R35 ones.
Just rebuilding my rb with a short nose crank and well safe to say I started rebuilding it 😂 going dry sump now so I don’t have to worry about that
Could of access added crank collar extension too
Was going to do that but end of the day I have the money and figured why risk my fresh motor I have spent 10s of thousands on
Great vid my guy! Just subscribed. Btw, what’s the name of the intro song?
Great video, super informative. More RB / GTR content please! Looking forward to the Crank & Cam triggers video and how it works with Haltech.
R32 actually had around 300+ hp out the factory. They just couldn't reveal actual hp because of the gentleman's agreement in Japan amongst car manufacturers.
Oil pump gear width is NOT the issue. The issue is gap between the oil pump gear and the crank nose. There's too much lash, and when the engine bounce of the rev limiter, the crank will crack the pump gear.
Built by Japanese engineering gods!
not really some still broken... after all it was just to made around 280hp on first place....
Wow, show's you how much i knew about rb motors. Itb, No wonder they have such a nice note!
If Nissan would keep using this engine to replace all the lame boring fuel saving 4 cylinder engines, I'd want their cars for more than just its GTR cars
those are not cheap to made....company need money... that RB is getting outdated... it just good for power.. try to drive it fast and the fuel gone like no tomorrow...

Can you do one on 3rzfe engines which have been turbo charged
I was going to say something "clever " about the gdr, but thats already been played out.
Nooo... c'mon, there should be more GDR cleverness out there, surely?
I have a 1991 R32 Series II with a long nose crank. I bought it 2 years ago and shipped it to Texas. It had the factory boost restrictor on it and was stock except for intakes and full exhaust. I removed the boost restrictor a year ago for a little extra fun. The compression is excellent between 170 and 185 on all cylinders. I'm planning on replacing the stock turbos, upgrading the fuel system a little, and turning up to boost to support around 400whp....It has 123,000 MILES though, of which I've put 30K on. I'm hoping it'll hold the power without issue as I'm not chasing 'big power'. WISH ME LUCK!
Good luck!
Everytime he says RB's, I want to eat a shaved beef and cheese sauce sandwich on an onion bun.
I and the r32 have the same birth year and month, no wonder its my favorite of all gtr's
YOU : RB
TH-cam : *BARBIE*
Would love to own one but prices for an R34 are a bit steep and can’t legally be registered in the states until 2024. Pound for pound, the R35 is the better car, which is to be expected, so if I had to choose between the two, the R35 hands down. But the R34 is a legend and so would be well worth having, just can’t imagine dropping 100k on one.
The prices of good, older cars have reach ridiculous levels of late...
Oklahoma license plate!
I dont know shit about the mechanical side of the engine just know it sounds fucking cool as fuck compared to others
Any one put RB26 head on RB25det block? I prefer the smaller stroke to bore ratio. A custom Billet RB32-34det that has same stroke/bore ratio of RB25, or even RB20 would be NUTS! Ever heard an RB25det with top shelf dump pipe and top spec, professionally configured full exhaust system?
Beats the shit outta 99% of RB26’s
I say we start a company that manufactures the turbo barra engine and exports them to foreign markets for reasonable price. Be hard to meet demand....
Imagine aftermarket sector for that engine if USA got their hands on it. They would be in EVERYTHING from skylines to 4WD’s to drift cars to boats even. Conversion kits and parts would be cheap as dirt. Who’s in? Lol
I could listen to scotty talk all day, it’s therapeutic
Problem with the oil pump gears is the stupid drive nissan used because it is cheap to machine. It makes the gear thin in 2 spots and when a crack forms there say bye bye to your engine. 2JZ has a proper spline on the oil pump drive..You don't know how many people want to punch that person responsible for this stupid decision. Same thing on the CA18 and SR20 oil pump..
St0RM33 You must be some sort of genius bro.
True. Add the block cracking because of the AWD setup on higher HP and that makes it worse
I am loving this segment, what about doing a Technically speaking on inline 5’s, Audi’s 5cylinder, Ford/Volvo’s inline 5 turbo found in the FocusST225-XR5 ?
I love the GD-Ahh engine
What's the point of upgrading to a high flow oil pump and then putting restrictors in? Won't that put a lot of pressure on the oil pump ?
Mike, I don't know if you'll see this, 3 years later, but restrictors, only limit oil volume to areas that don't require that much, and simply allow the engine builder to redirect the oil to areas that can benefit from higher volume. Example, on a maximum effort American pushrod V-8 engine, if I run roller cam bearings and solid roller lifters, then I restrict the oil going to these areas and then the extra volume will go to the mains and or rod bearings, with no extra load on the pump. I hope that helps.

The first car I owned free and clear was a '92 Laurel (C33) Medalist Club S with the RB25... loved that car. It got me an $800 speeding ticket and an all-day interrogation with NCIS and local police... but it was worth it.
I was delighted to discover the Q50 I bought a few years ago is the current Skyline. Infiniti model naming conventions are stupid... so while on vacation in the motherland, I went to the Prince dealer and ordered the correct badging.
I have dreams of finding a good President Sovereign, keeping the exterior/interior as mint as possible but boosting the V8 and some bolt-ons. Possibly swapping to a more recent V8 (direct injection 5.6L sounds great if I have unlimited budget).
We need full story about police and NCIS

Your name is TUNING FORK! not Scott! Great video
Oh, sorry, my mistake.
Very interesting, while also disappointing information. Sure its problem in only in high performance builds, but having to be careful for oilpump in earlier models is just a horrible thing and i just found out RB is interference engine, what is big minus on my list, as simple snapping of timing belt or just jump will wreck the engine.
Ah, remember when Nissan didn't engineer utter crap, or just re-hash the few good models year after year with minor changes for a decade or more?
Oh joy, the comments are like: Supra is better! GT-R is better! JZ is better! RB is better!
When it comes down to engineering, the 2JZ is simply better built. Bigger displacement, stronger parts, more tuning capabilities, can handle more power on stock parts. It's barely even a contest.
But honestly it's all about preferences, and I like them both, though I like the way the MkIV Supra looks over how the R32, R33, and R34 looks.
All amazing engines and cars ,although I'm also biased towards supras
I'll tell you what's so special about the RB, absolutely bloody nothing.
That's a moronic answer ;D.
@@mandernachluca3774 the honest answer*
@@tcollogan
No, since it is an outstanding engine. The N54 is an even more outstanding engine and the 2jz is probably the most durable of them all.
@@mandernachluca3774 I'm a jz boy but also a qualified mechanic that runs his own workshop RB motors have multiple underlying issues as does jz but jz's are much less of a issue then the rb's.
@@tcollogan Long term, every ICE in existence has underlying issues.
RB's are 'great' due to the development they have received and the popularity of straight sixes for aftermarket purposes here. There is nothing exceptional about the basic engine, just like the SR experience identifies the weaknesses, demand leads to aftermarket fixes and parts. It would be interesting to compare RB's with their euro counterparts.
