Prepare your stock RB25 or RB26 crankshaft for 1000hp - Platinum Tech

I am convicted that no one on earth has more knowledge of the Rb engine than this gentleman. He knows every millimeter of the Rb engine, down to the hardness of the material. I would call him a guru for sure

how good would a step by step build serious to 1000bhp showing literally everything you need to do even the tiniest of details?

[@danielbrealey2924]

Tbh, your lucky to be even getting this. Knowledge is power and only comes through hard earned experience. Most engine builders aren't going to tell you much- otherwise why would you spend the big bucks and go to them?!?

[@JustForRita]

@@danielbrealey2924totally agree, giving away secrets would send everyone broke. I think engine building is more than just following instructions, there is definitely skill learnt from experience otherwise everyone would be throwing engines together like IKEA furniture

[@NanoDanHD]

obviously you need to know what your on about and not just a randomer off the street but I just mean the little RB specific tricks to save you lots of trial and error, you could tell someone exactly how to build a engine to the best spec possible but if they don't know how to swing a spanner they're not going to be able to are they @@danielbrealey2924

[@MotiveVideo]

We tend to tell people what, rather than how. If we tried to show people how to build and engine we open ourselves to liability issues and give away too many secrets. Telling people what works means they are armed with information to help them when they go to build and talk to the engine builder and tuner.

Thanks Herman and Andrew for putting this knowledge on the web, very interesting to watch!

[@jpvlogs2445]

A person in a facebook group im in put a photo up of the prp coil pack for a 2jz and he was just hesitant about buying it cause he didnt know how good the product was so i showed him the video were you guys explain all that good stuff 😊😊😊

[@MafiaboysWorld]

That was surprising how RB cranks shouldn't be nitrided. I've always thought for ultimate strength it was essential, regardless of crank...must be for old school motors only now. Thanks for opening my eyes guys. 👍

[@Dacommenta]

So keen for the 1jz video. My mates been giving me shit saying his 1j is stronger than my rb

[@bradpittman5075]

Fault line, any sharp edges 90s etc. get rid of it. Radius fillets. But no stress risers. Crazy how knocking the edges off of things makes them stronger. Take away the places where cracks start is what you are doing. Nitrite is harder than wood pecker lips, Franks flex. Just a thought. Love this channel.

[@Ty2052]

Great video Andrew, (and Herman) thanks again :)

[@dericksanderson]

Great review, can you do a video on the differences of the rb25 and rb26 crank. Also a video on an rb25 motor thats had some work. Whether its bigger pistons/rods/bored out/upgraded cranks etc. Thanks!

[@802Garage]

@@genius3258 A single experience is not valid statistically. Sorry about your Outback, but that's an extremely rare occurrence. Out of the quite literally hundreds of Outback and EJ25 owners I know, that has never been a problem. If you are talking about the new FB engines, hadn't heard of that either. I was more thinking of the turbo car cranks, though AFAIK all Subaru cranks are forged.

[@igvtec]

Hell yeah good content gives you more perspective and understanding what you need to do to your crack. Great vid fellas.

[@felixlugo9109]

Great info since I’m building my rd26 engine even though I’m not going to push 1000 but it will give me a peace of mind.

[@bradpittman5075]

You can take a hammer and tap the counter weights on your crank and if it doesn’t sing then there is a crack every time usually in the fillet.

[@JDM_Jeffro]

Awesome info! Would have never guessed that rb cranks can warp. Cool shit guys!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@roskataqv]

You've done 2jz vs RB block, can you now do heads please, they are what makes power at the end of the day.

[@chrisg4rr377]

I got my mate to stick a road tune onto my civic. He said that it should be good for 950hp on stock internals. I just need to get a K+N for better horsepower and mpg

[@thelittlegreyshed9843]

Thanks mate 🤙🏼

[@eetu1607]

can you make video about different rb stroker crankshafts? theres different balansing types and different shapes for balansing weights but not any explanes about them

[@GTRPSI]

Nice job Herman and Andrew . Will add the factory cranks are induction hardened forged items, i never have worked out how deep the hardening goes or if right through. Nitto collars are harder than the factory crank material so a good investment to avoid wear there even on long nose cranks. Good idea to stake those grub screws in with a pointed punch to avoid then unwinding as loctite does not like heat to hold them in. Fault line on crank end = Stress riser becoming a fracture point. Some also now tear drop the oil holes on the mains to positively feed the big ends when big pumps that can keep up are used, usually by also drilling out the oil feeds to 8mm in the block. As usual, very informative.

[@fishingsgreat]

Ahh actually rb cranks are forged but are definitely NOT induction hardened

[@smoknhothonda]

Induction hardening is a 'surface' treatment essentially, to produce a shallow hard wear resistance surface and have a softer ductile core to maintain strength. So to answer your query, no induction hardening isn't designed to increase the hardness all the way though a component.

[@lingeringsoul]

awesome video

[@XenaThreat]

Would be good to see a video of a crank actually getting straightened

[@a2rbatteriesperformance985]

Very good videos Hawkins :)

[@x9417m]

make sure to blow a load on your crank prior to assembly also, it helps trust me

[@ltra42]

[@SimonWorlds]

Why RB's have crank issues? Because all inline 6 cylinders suffer it, it is inherent to all inline 6 cylinders and it is a harmonic issue you can only manage, but never cure. Billet crankshaft in my 2.8L finally gave up the ghost at around 10-12,000kms of hard circuit driving, the nose snapped and oil pump was not in good shape (N1 pump). But remember, I was circuit racing, not just a few inline runs here and there, but punishing it lap after lap with foot flat to the floor for sometimes 20 minutes at a time. A billet crank from my experience will not cure harmonic issues in the RB, it only pushes the life out a bit more, but eventually the harmonic issues will catch up with it sadly. If running a drag car setup, it usually isn't too much of a problem as time in these harmonic ranges is limited, so that is a good thing for the drag racing crowd.

[@DylanTK]

these videos are awesome; super interesting and informative for sure

[@jamesashe]

Fantastic video. Thank you for the content!

[@BourneThisWay]

What are thoughts on a billet crank? And who is the most trusted manufacturer? HKS billet crank is +10kUSD but others are under 3kUSD.

[@MotiveVideo]

Nitto has their billet cranks in almost every 8,7 and 6 second Skyline GT-R here in Oz. They are #1

[@anasamla]

I think a billet crank might be a cheaper option in the long run. The cost of treating a stock crank to 1k hp goals gives you some not so good insurance while a billet would be very good insurance

[@bradleyhardath3124]

Very interesting videos great job keep up d good work

[@802Garage]

So after all this is done, wouldn't the cost be similar to a billet crank? Genuinely asking.

[@keremustunkaya9650]

I have heard in the video that standard RB crankshaft is not billet which is understandable but is RB26 crankshaft forged steel or just molten and poured cast iron ?

[@slyonerz]

Love hearing gospel from someone that actually knows what's up instead of some keyboard hero

[@boyou2]

interesting retex guys. What's the radius you're using for the crank collar? THX (y)

[@BNR_248]

My RB crank was Nitrided :/ its a billet stroker crank though, not sure if that makes a difference

[@billybarrow426]

What's cheaper? Doing all that to your crank or buying a billet and would you have todo that stuff to a billet crank as well?

[@MotiveVideo]

You wouldn't have to do any of that to a billet crank but its a few thousand dollars. This is cheaper.

[@perziangangsta]

Good stuff

[@alx4050]

Good video maate

[@Andrew-xz8yp]

I’ve a rb25 neo which needs to be rebuilt, would you recommend forging rb25 and going big turbo or rb28 stroker kit?

[@brianoconner2501]

Depends on your power goal: I'd forge it with a 26 crank. If you want big numbers then I would do big turbo and stroker

[@motoray69]

But at that point is it just cheaper to run an aftermarket crank. Obviously balancing is still required.

[@MotiveVideo]

motoray69 no it’s not. Billet cranks aren’t cheap!
