How to make a reliable RB - basic to 10K RPM 1000 hp

[@vevohoeyo]

There's many advantages in having that thing rip to 10k rpms besides noise. It gives him so much more rev range to work with like not having to grab a higher gear in some situations. And damn yes it sings a fine tune up there mate. Incredible work all round

[@clutchkickk6835]

These type of series are cool. Keep going into detail with your rb’s. This type of knowledge spread out is what we need. Speaking from experience is what I like to see!

What engine would you like to see us chat about next?

[@Gnutella181]

Jake is such a nice guy, on video and in person. He definitely deserves much more exposure for all his efforts. Especially to get sponsors to make his FD program happen. Best of luck Jake, keep it up!

[@clutchkickpj693]

I Haven't touched the oil system on my rb25 and been giving it DEATH on the limiter for 5 years with no issues. #bestsoundingstraight6

[@JusttheEdge]

They can fail from bad harmonics or excessive crank end play from worn thrust bearings/crank. All it takes is a bad harmonic balancer or high miles/insufficent oil changes. It doesnt happen to every rb. Also I doubt your rev limit isnt 10k.

Oh god, thank so much Jake! I am currently rebuilding my CA18DET (S13 200sx) and as they have the same head/oil problems as the RBs, i was already planning to do the head mod, larger sump and the sump trap doors for the same reasons you mentioned, and also you just confirmed that my theorical study of the issue is working in real life in your cars! Although the CA18 wont be making 1000hp but reliability is king for me, so i wont have problem trashing it and learning to drift much faster and with lots of fun. Again, thank you so much! Cheers from Portugal

[@linchester8464]

Hey Aaron, i just stumbled upon this video and even thou as a RB fan who did my own research about the RB family of engine. You def open my eyes on the possibility of making a 1000BHP 10k rpm RB28DET. You can spent a butt ton of money on expensive parts but if you get your tune wrong or a single part like the oil system fail or rods snapping. You would just flushed all your money down the drain. I been eyeing on a few combinations of RB configs for different applications. RB28 based with 600-700 bhp for World Time attack based R34 800-1000 bhp top speed wide open throttle RB28 or RB30 hybrid engine And a drag purpose RB34 based on the RB30 block and 3.4L stroker kit. I am thinking of using the Omori Factory built RB26DETT R2 spec and built from there. The part list includes the N1 block and many of the N1 supporting parts like the N1 oil pump, water pump etc. And the fuel and ignition system have been upgraded to the R35 fuel and coil on plug spark system pack. www.nismo.co.jp/omori_factory/original_menu/crs/index.html I am drooling at the Clubman spec R34 here but it requires a R34 as the base car but now the prices of a unmolested R34 is over 100k It almost touching a used R35 price tag. Bummer...

Awesome video! You the man Jake!Never heard of someone breaking a nitto pump. Good to know that after market gears in a stock pump are the way to go. I’ve got reimax gears in my rb26 so hope they hold up!

[@DriftSquid]

Yeah was only due to having too much end float in my main bearings. but thats all it took to chew less then 1mm of material out of the pump and caused it to suck air.

[@ianmulley2013]

Thst was a great video and really helpful as I’m getting ready to build my rb to a similar spec to you neo engine. One question I did have is I’ve bean told bye some people in addition to reducing and blanking one of the oil feeds to the head and the head drain kit you drill out some existing oil drains in the head is this true? Cheers Ian

[@ben7020]

thanks for the RB tour mate 👍 If only they could make the N54 more fearless in the e92, 1 sniff of hoon and check light 😆 Rb says do a burnout, N54 says dont!!

[@MrTurbocd6]

Wish there was more info on the greddy style intake for the Neo like which sensors to keep and what water or vacuum lines to keep

[@levischittlord6558]

Ever consider the Adaptronic ecu? Supposedly it can read the stock CAS without missing counts. Usually dropped factory valves is because they are sleeve welded instead of one piece and long duration cams that require high revs, plus strong valve springs can rip them apart. Good video tho and I appreciate you taking the time to explain questions I had about oiling, I was sorta on the fence between putting spool billet gears in my n1 pump or buying a Nitto for a 700ish 2.8 in an o5u block.

[@DriftSquid]

Yeah pretty much any other aftermarket ECU is capable of running the stock CAS. Haltechs new elite ecu has some issues how ever. Not sure if they are fixed but I am not waiting to find out. Yeah get the steel gears for your N1 pump and you will be sweet mate.

[@moparmatt5683]

I always remember people saying about power etc not rpm but now ive tasted big hp why not use the rb’s ability for high rpm it’s more interesting and unique and honestly I like the sound so would enjoy more day to day

[@C-M-E]

While you won't be saving any money doing this, but a dry sump RB is damn near the last step to going full-blown race engine in my eyes. Ever explore any of those options? Edit: Disregard, got a bit further in the vid =D

[@Rguy6900]

Thanks for sharing this information. Just a quick question however - I once read that RB25 NEOs contain smaller oil orifices going from the block to the head (as Nissan was aware of the oiling issue and the NEOS were the newest of the RB series), can you confirm this? I'm planning on installing a head drain on my RB25 NEO but I'm wondering if its absolutely necessary to blank one orifice and put a restrictor in the other, in conjunction with the head drain. Would like deal with oiling issue while engine is out of the car. Really beautiful RB builds btw my friend! Cheers.

Love this video, great advice. I'm interested to know if you used a block brack for the 1000 hp setup? Do you think it is needed or you can do without? I'm at build stages of my engine and want to make it reliable. I have the N1 block also and some say I don't need one. I have the hks step 2 stroker and a NAprec race head with v cams. I want it to run around 900 but have it be able to do more and run it more efficiently. Keep up the videos!

Wow, nice and informative video. I'm disappointed at the limitations of the Haltech Elite being a Haltech by choice person, and also a RBGTR owner too. Mine is street and stock, but it's good to know what works and what does not work. Just need to do a little more research (or maybe you can advice) on how that extra trick sump would work on the 4WD system. Thanks for being open about the spec of the turbo too..Can you say the duration and lift of the cams you use to turn those insane 10,000 rpms?

[@DriftSquid]

Hey mate, Hit up Hi Octane Racing for the big sump on awd GTR setup. They sell kits and should have them in stock. Yeah the cams are HKS Step 2, Duration: 272, Lift (mm): 10.2. Off the shelf cams mate. Keeps making power with my old 6870 turbo at 9500rpm as well. Things a bloody animal

I wouldn’t have thought head drains and oil flow restrictors would be necessary with just the n1? Was thought that was for the more high flowing pumps? Would anyone be able to shed light on as too why this is necessary

[@alltheboost5363]

Can't the haltech do everything that the motec does? I'm also pretty sure that they can decode the stock reluctor wheel and the sensor. it's the clarity that becomes an issue at high RPMs and I would bet that the motek would have the same problem and that reluctor ring has been changed out on the other car that has motec. so your comparison is pretty skewed or one-sided.

[@DriftSquid]

Yeah its chalk and cheese between the two ECU's. But when you ring Haltech and ask why cant this new ECU run with a standard CAS. They respond with "our ECU is too sophisticated, you need a trigger kit"...... Which I then did straight away and im still having miss count issues. So time to change the ECU to Link and see the results. Not changing a single thing besides the ECu
