100% props to Al, any man who can step away from a successful project on the basis of improving their person life, has my whole heart and support. Props for supporting your own mental health and life goals.
Been amazing watching and learning from you over the years Al, you were a big part of the inspiration for me to become a mechanic myself way back when I first saw the interview you did at the end of an early episode of the Gramps build series for Marty. That was over 8 years ago and im now a qualified mechanic myself and still learn something new every video you guys make. Best of luck with the future mate ✌️definitely still sticking around for Woody too
This video has bought back a lot of memories from back in the early 2000's building RB30's in the garage. Rb30 blocks were easy to get for a box of beers as they were all cracking heads, RB25DE's from an R32 GTS25 were easy to find as they were all being replaced with RB20DET's. Datsun A15 70lb valve springs to replace the 40lb springs in the non turbo head so it didn't float the valves on boost, Mazda RF diesel cambelt as it was the correct length. Factory exhaust manifold with ground mounting ears to clear the block and an external waste gate port welded on. VN V6 commodore coil packs adapted to run off the Nissan igniter, Homemade forward facing plenums, generic Chinese intercoolers, intercooler piping made at the exhaust shop and Chinese T4 mystery box turbos. We could buy and build a complete car for 10k, but we did spend a lot of time fixing them.
Woody. As much as we all gonna miss Al, you are a massive part of what makes the show great and ya enthusiasm is what's gonna keep it great. Now please don't take my regular Wednesday night viewing away. It's like the days of TV where ya wait a week for the next ep. Now keeps things going so long I'll have enough repeats like it's 6pm Simpson's and not that 630 Neighbours rubbish.
25:08 Al, shrinking is still pretty common, especially in bike engines. Will miss your knowledge on the show, but also you're a great communicator. One thing to have a head full of knowledge, but it is another thing entirely to be able to hold an audience while you explain it. Especially when there's people like me who has been in the trade as long as you, right through to the modern 'fix it using TH-cam' generation kid with their first car. 👌
In Canada, we had to wait 15 years to be able to import Skylines, so when I finally got to start building RB engines, the Skylines Australia forums were a huge resource for me. Once again, you have done an excellent job explaining all of the important details of putting together a performance engine of this nature and I particularly like that you take budget into account when discussing the build. Most people, like myself, are restrained by a tight budget and it really helps to know which things are important and should not be skipped. Cheers guys!
Can I just say, F#@K we are going to miss you Al! Just promise you will send us a post card so we can at least follow your adventures!! Honestly mate you just take good care of yourself and the wife and make as many smiles and laughs as you can together. You know Woody has this and there is no small number of people willing to help out so all will be good. I think many of us forget this, life is not a dress rehearsal we only get one go at this shit, so don't screw around thinking "one day I will do that" cause sooner or later we all run out of time.
Seeing the frozen crank reminded me of the many times my mother would give myself and my mates a right good telling off when she would find our Mx bike cranks or bearings in the freezer or parts in her oven! If she saw an engine part in her dishwasher we knew that our dinner was going to the dog then too!
So good to see an RB motor again. Takes me back to my Calaisturbo forum days. 😂 Fyi Nissan did make one RB30 de motor. It was a japanese "Brock" style deal. No Turbs. I want to build one with 6 throttle bodies 😊
Just to follow up on the non-VCT head, it's the 08U casting, I built an RB30 with that head and a set of cams (they may have been from Kelford but that was over a decade ago), it made a fairly lazy 340kw at the wheels via a RWD converted R32 GTR gearbox. It is a perfectly cromulent combination... one internet cookie to those that know what "cromulent" is and where it is from, you are a real one.
I helped a mate build a high compression N/A 25/30 back in 2001 for his R31 GTS2, based on articles in Zoom magazine and information from Julian Edgar. He used a RB25de head and custom pistons. Was about 11.5:1. Lightened and knife edged crank, mild aftermarket cams, GTR oil pump, twin t/b inlet manifold and a LINK Plus ECU. Made just over 280rwhp (210kw) Sounded beautiful, pulled like a train and revved like a race car. He sold it to buy a house....I should have bought the damn thing when he offered it to me. Hindsight is a bitch.
I think every engine Dave is involved with should have a little plate somewhere. Like the old tickford build plates but subtle. How good would it be in 20 years to pull a motor and see the legends name on it
Would absolutely LOVE to see you do a TB48 build as one of your last. No holds barred approach. You have done basically every other Nissan motor worth doing. But you should 100% go out with a bang. And this is definitely the motor to do it with. Think dune climb racing in the Emirates in a patrol haha
"Not building a race engine" - Puts rods, pistons, and twin turbos on :D - Love your work Al. Hope you get a chance to relax and unwind outside of the content creation schedule!
I was among the early adopters of the 3L swap on SAU. Having the whole rotating assembly balanced made it rev so smoothly but i put dual tomei 1.2mm restrictors in the block instead of blocking one and had all sorts of oil breathing issues with too much oil in the head. My single GT35 with 0.82 rear housing could be solidly into boost at 3500 rpm with the full 26psi by 4000-4500 but doing that meant it had no traction in 1st-3rd gear as soon as the turbo came on, it was much nicer to drive if you slowed the boost ramp to be all in by 5500 rpm. Will be interesting to see how your twin setup performs.
I ended up with blanked and 1.25mm from memory which is slightly smaller than the recommended in the document. I have been advised that crankcase pressure is a major contributor to the oil not running back from the head also. If you have too much pressure below the pistons then the oil simply cannot gravity drain. Why that is the case could be for many reasons. Piston to bore too loose, ring gaps too loose, general engine wear. Dave put some hours into clearancing this engine so I am very confident that won't be an issue but we will see in due time.
thanks for all of this, my RB30 has a cracked head and I had thoughts on this, but as Ive got older (Woody you're still a young'un) and no access to a decent workshop you've help me make the decision not to do it. Especially when I have a healthy 304 (correct VL prefix) and 5 speed about to come out of another car. It wont be as fast, but will still be fun, and will be a lot easier and cheaper for me to do
Remember building one of these Frankensteins 15+ years ago. Fond memory’s of tapping new cam idler pulleys, Welding heads and running a Saab timing belt from memory, also running hockey pucks as engine mounts to drop engine height to fit under the bonnet of a 33. And playing with old wolf3D trying to make it happy. Lots I’ve forgotten about it for sure and i probably have some old photos of it laying around. I reckon i would of added a bunch to those forum posts from back then, mostly all gone now sadly.
I did a bunch of pneumatic tug boat winch rebuilds. 1/8" wall sleeves with a .007" interference fit. Liquid Nitrogen and the install tool had to be chilled in it too or it heated up the sleeve before it was seated. The large winch body casting stayed at room temp the whole time. It was tricky to develop the process but slick and easy once the process was figured out. It's amazing what can be done with the right planning. I love watching these kind of builds.
I absolutely love top mounted twins!!!! Rb and 2jz with top mounted twins is a dream of mine!!! Looks absolutely amazing. Especially if you have titanium plumbing 😮 awesome af!!!
One of the best videos on YT! Years ago I was planning of 30/25'ing my R31, but leaving it N/A. I now see many areas where I may have gone wrong had I'd gone through with it.
Good to see my old rb30det website useful for info. I made that site years ago when I was building my rb30det for my vl commodore, which is now in my r33.
I loved The VG30DETT, it's a beautiful motor, crazy ass torque. Heavy as hell with the cast iron, but tougher than a tank. I can understand why you're going RB tho' its a lot easier to get more bang out of 'em
best engine that was never made, i just ran my second 9s pass on stock bottom end rb30 after a year and 15,000klm apart... they are hard to break iv had a piston circlip fall out but no catastophic failures that was on a stock bottom end with 57k klm of boost and a twin cam head, great to see you do one.. get ready for blow by haha it is manageable tho
Joel started that document and I added a lot of stuff for doing it and having 4wd . Build my first adapter for an Rb30 to 4wd sump in 2004…it was crazy how ruff we were but also stuff was so cheap… so great to see where it got to with platinum and other guys making unbelievable gear now.
Good to see the RB30 hybrid guide is still getting used, and thanks for clearly explaining a lot of the issues/reasoning to a new generation Al. I've got a 30/25 in my Stagea, it is the engine Nissan should have done from factory. (probably worth mentioning that 4wd RB30s have extra fun with block/sump adapter plates, oil pick up and sump/gearbox bolts One thing, RB25 NEO is a better choice than RB26 head if you can find one. Probably cheaper but it also has solid lifters, good sized ports and still has VCT built in; many RB26 modifiers add the HKS V-CAM but 25 NEO has that from factory. Also, Boost doc does a rb230 timing cover extension if you don't want to do DIY
Al, my dude, you made me feel so damn old with that bit at the end. I knew EXACTLY what you were doing with your little "phone dialing" motion. Oh man.
I went RB30 with a 26 head back in the early 2000s. Spend 8K on a skyline halfcut and mashed it back into my VL. No-one could believe how much power it made and consequently could not be put to the ground. Back then the scene was nothing like it is now, an engineer friend had to help me fabricate many things like timing belt pullys for the closest matching belt I could find. I over powered a 400KW truck dyno once at tafe and it broke traction at 180Km/h. I so dearly wish I could have fixed up the suspension to make it amazing but alas I went to Uni!
Haha yes, a lot of things have changed since then. Power was available but control over power and chassis management to make the power go to the ground were unknown. I think we are back there again with too much power now but the power management is more the science now.
been trying my damnedest to (at minimum) throw an RB25 together over here stateside, and its SUPER DIFFICULT to find many sources of information to go off of...but this is the absolute best. Damn I wish i lived in Australia/New Zealand.
Love your work boys. Woody surely as you branch out solo, you're now entitled to the Seniors Discount and maybe even a State Provided Carer? Poor old bugger...
Love these technical deep dives, especially for such a unique custom engine. Decades of knowledge goes into building something like that, even with an detailed how-to off of SAU. I applaud the choice of keeping the twin turbo setup, it's just right for both the era and the actual car! Can't wait to hear it on the dyno :)
Ive learnt so much from you Al over the years since starting on McmTv2 , so much knowledge youve accumulated over the years i can only hope to be as Wise and Knowledgeable as you 💯👌🤙
Thanks Al..I have learned so much over the years from you, Woodie, the Mighty Mods wonders and many others involved. You are a proper force in this world of bringing good things together, making it all happen and work..Cheers and best wishes in your next adventures, and builds..?
Full of issues that Al took like 10 minutes to explain how to work around. RB is good, but you NEED to throw money into it to make it good enough to not break on you that easily 😂😂
I built one about 20 years ago with a R32 RB25de head. Went hard back then but would be much better now with modern ecu's and turbos. Used a Subaru cambelt idler it think.
Like everyone, I'll be sorry to see Al take a back seat but I hope there's a way that the banter can continue as that is an important part of the channel.
Black Friday is the trad sale day after thanksgiving in the US. Love the channel, the builds are exceptional. Sad to see you step back. Good luck in your future endeavours. I'm sure woody will do you proud. Cheers.

I think the projects are building up. Filming these videos takes a lot of time and effort. I am sure Woody will come up with a great model that works.
Still can't believe Al is leaving. He's like my youtube father 😢
TH-cam daddy *
Well, he is your father, it was bound to happen.
Nah, he’s turbo Yoda not Turbo Vader 😅
@@markreibson7030 if it wasn't for Moog we probably wouldn't have got to enjoy Al for all these years.
He isn't leaving. He just isn't doing as much TH-cam due to wanting to spend time with his family.
I already miss Al and he hasnt even left yet. I'm not ready for this breakup.

Al has to finish this build with a genuine Skid in the garage. No way he can walk away from this one without a skid for the skid factory.
25:08 Al, shrinking is still pretty common, especially in bike engines.

Wont lie, after the Big News hearing AL say "Stay Tuned For That And See You Next Time" Hits The Feels! Thx For Everything Both Of Ya!

I’m excited to see where this goes, but it’s not just the car builds, it’s the knowledge Al shares along the way, best of luck to both of you
Gonna miss you AL 😢
For a mechanic that you couldn't get boo out of, gez Al talks a lot now. Not having a go at him, he's a bloody good teacher now.
That's the cleanest and meanest looking RB I've ever seen.
Those billet valve covers make a huge difference!
There was something about that laid back vibe of that episode that was quite cathartic. Did enjoy
So good to see an RB motor again. Takes me back to my Calaisturbo forum days. 😂
Fyi Nissan did make one RB30 de motor. It was a japanese "Brock" style deal. No Turbs. I want to build one with 6 throttle bodies 😊
I remember some guy put a triple carbed rb30de into a 280z man it sounded wicked
That was the Tommy Kaira M30.
With a heavily modded RB20de head. They'd be rare as rocking horse shit
Just to follow up on the non-VCT head, it's the 08U casting, I built an RB30 with that head and a set of cams (they may have been from Kelford but that was over a decade ago), it made a fairly lazy 340kw at the wheels via a RWD converted R32 GTR gearbox.

Did it embiggen the HP though?
@akiwi2562 it embiggened all of the stututututu.
One cookie to you my man.
I was gonna comment on the "perfectly cromulent" then saw the last bit of the comment lol what a classic
@helplmchoking and a cookie for you sir, you cromulent bastard.

Time for a warmed up Accord Euro R K20A!!!
Thanks for the shout out guys, Can’t wait to hear this thing !

That RB is mint, this zx is going yo be 🔥
love the reasoning for twins! same.
Holy Cow Al, that must be $100k worth of Raceworx fittings on your wall! Great video, maybe I'll build an engine one day because of your inspiration.
So sick this engine is my dream build. Ot so much the car but I'm loving it and I'm here for it. I'm going to miss you Al
Thanks to Al for always explaining in detail what has been done and why. Not many people spend the time to do so. Cheers!
Dual chuchu noises, nice! I think that’s how these cars should’ve come from the factory, RB power.
One of the best videos on YT!
Years ago I was planning of 30/25'ing my R31, but leaving it N/A. I now see many areas where I may have gone wrong had I'd gone through with it.
as much as i love RB's , Jz is gods motor 🤣
Looks like you've got the entire Raceworks catalogue hanging on the back wall there. Very nice. 💪
I was really looking forward to this episode. Cheers Al.
Good to see my old rb30det website useful for info. I made that site years ago when I was building my rb30det for my vl commodore, which is now in my r33.
I loved The VG30DETT, it's a beautiful motor, crazy ass torque. Heavy as hell with the cast iron, but tougher than a tank. I can understand why you're going RB tho' its a lot easier to get more bang out of 'em
With radio mic's clipped to steel rules, we know we couldn't be in safer hands going forward 😁 Top work as always, guys.
best engine that was never made, i just ran my second 9s pass on stock bottom end rb30 after a year and 15,000klm apart... they are hard to break iv had a piston circlip fall out but no catastophic failures that was on a stock bottom end with 57k klm of boost and a twin cam head, great to see you do one.. get ready for blow by haha it is manageable tho
I forgot about clear cam covers, looks mint!
I really appreciate listening to Al.
Joel started that document and I added a lot of stuff for doing it and having 4wd . Build my first adapter for an Rb30 to 4wd sump in 2004…it was crazy how ruff we were but also stuff was so cheap… so great to see where it got to with platinum and other guys making unbelievable gear now.
Well damn. Never thought that old RB30DET pdf I (Cubes) pulled together with the help of the SAU community would still be floating about!
Yeah it is. Were you on PF also? Thanks for your service to the car community.
Good to see the RB30 hybrid guide is still getting used, and thanks for clearly explaining a lot of the issues/reasoning to a new generation Al. I've got a 30/25 in my Stagea, it is the engine Nissan should have done from factory. (probably worth mentioning that 4wd RB30s have extra fun with block/sump adapter plates, oil pick up and sump/gearbox bolts
One thing, RB25 NEO is a better choice than RB26 head if you can find one. Probably cheaper but it also has solid lifters, good sized ports and still has VCT built in; many RB26 modifiers add the HKS V-CAM but 25 NEO has that from factory.
Also, Boost doc does a rb230 timing cover extension if you don't want to do DIY
@@theskidfactory Thanks mate. Yes was on PF also. Love that you are keeping the old dirty 30 alive.
I’d love to build another at some point.
Awesome stuff guys, can't wait for the next one. Keep up the good work you guys do.
Brings back memories of doing my rb26 head into rb30 block in my R31 skyline.
Al i just want you to know that you and mike finnegan got me not scared to work on my own stuff. Thankyou from america. Enjoy your retirement sir.

Awesome show as always,thank you Lads!
I know it's matter of taste, but maaan, 30:32 , that's what I call beautiful...!!
Definitely going to miss you Al, but looking forward to seeing you as a guest on mcm and maybe some trips with Bennie and the like
Love the way you are happy to admit you're always learning
One of the best presentations yet Al.
Be well mate.
Always look forward to your episodes
Love these technical deep dives, especially for such a unique custom engine.
Decades of knowledge goes into building something like that, even with an detailed how-to off of SAU.
I applaud the choice of keeping the twin turbo setup, it's just right for both the era and the actual car!
Can't wait to hear it on the dyno :)
Absolutely beautiful engine bruddas
I see those six cylinders and feel really good.
I'll be watching Woody. Keep up the good work.
Best of luck Al. Woody keep the good thing going. Will be continuing to watch from England.

I cant believe you didnt add the squeeking sound on the rubber hammer hits @28:30 in the video!!! I was expecting it so much!!!

Full of issues that Al took like 10 minutes to explain how to work around.
RB is good, but you NEED to throw money into it to make it good enough to not break on you that easily 😂😂
I built one about 20 years ago with a R32 RB25de head. Went hard back then but would be much better now with modern ecu's and turbos. Used a Subaru cambelt idler it think.
Seeing twin scrolls warms the hearth for sure.
Like everyone, I'll be sorry to see Al take a back seat but I hope there's a way that the banter can continue as that is an important part of the channel.
I do! I have one in my car that I showed my electrician class during that module.
I miss the old forum days, learnt most of what I know reading skylines Australia and nissan silvia forums.
Twin turbo 3 feeding 3 just like the lotus Carlton absolute weapon!!!
@35:00 I'm gonna really miss Al's banter 🤣❤❤
Nobody else does it quite like him lol
One of my dream build combo
Black Friday is the trad sale day after thanksgiving in the US. Love the channel, the builds are exceptional. Sad to see you step back. Good luck in your future endeavours. I'm sure woody will do you proud. Cheers.
I’ll always support your channel.
Al - 'I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing . . . . ' I was so hoping Al was going to say he's not leaving, but alas not 😩
