Billet blocks are designed from scratch with 3D/CFD software, so they will know everything about it before it even goes near a CNC. You can't directly compare cast iron blocks with billet aluminum based on simple measurements alone. The way they behave under heat and stress is a lot different, billet blocks generally have improved oil flow, larger threads available for head and main studs with extra meat to accommodate them, as well as ductile iron sleeves.

You have to define 'best'. best for what? From an engineering standpoint, it becomes financially wasteful to design strength and capability much beyond what is required. The RB blocks meet the requirements for the applications. they destroyed the competition in all racing they competed in, which was their design goal. Nissan never intended for the 2nd hand, aftermarket scene to be driving 1000+ hp drags etc and hence never wasted resources on it. The 2JZ block is stronger and better for the latter, but was also never designed for it, so while we all love them for it, you could argue its design was less appropriate to its requirements and may have soaked up money better spent elsewhere on the car, rather than building in such a large 'factor of safety' for benefits the company will never see. Decades later, we know which one can do what in far more detail then the manufacturers ever did and which block is better for what. Its an interesting thought.

Finding a good and strong block isnt a easy task. There are 3 main things that keep your engine from failing. 1. Machinist 2. Engine assembler 3. Tuner An RB block has its weak points but there are other factors that keep alot of these 1000hp rb blocks still performing. Certain upgrades that need to be done with them such as billet main caps and girdles. Heat and pressure cracks bores thats why making power with better fuels is necessary. Fuel like ethanol and methanol is such a big game changer and why most GTRs are able to run 1000+hp. But nothing is unbreakable and no motor lasts forever. Everything has a limit and in the world of racing when limits are being pushed expect anything...

Great video, RRR owners will no doubt want a re-test with a different sonic tester, thickness tool and scales. Fact is the block was designed to make 500hp, keep engine cool, be lighter than standard for racing. Tick, Tick Tick. Nissan at the time only cared if it made it through the race and/or races for it's specified lifetime, once it cracks throw in another. They didn't design it for 1000hp plus full weight street cars, years of rev limiter bashing or for a turbo the size of your head strapped to the side pushing well over 30psi. If the remit was 1000hp plus out of the factory at 50psi boost it could've been done and it would probably handle 1500hp much like the current engines handle well more than the stock power and boost they were designed for. Money = Power, they landed where they landed.

That said, I am aware of a (former?) 1/4 mile Skyline world record holder from NZ using a GT block pushing 1,600whp. I guess with the inconsistency of their bores, there’s bound to be a few needles in the proverbial haystack. Fantastic test, by the way.

I did not see you re calibrated so I expect it should be some difference, since ti was so evident in hardness measurement that sound was so different even through video recording. For me this means Ultrasonic waves for thickness device also have significant change in speed of propagation what should change results. Just wondering, maybe you can comment?

Can you test NA 2JZ blocks (vvti, non-vvti, fse)? Because 2JZ-GTE is very expensive it's very common practice in Russia to build 1.5JZ with NA 2JZ block. I'm told that only differences are in oil system.

Block and crank are the same. GTE has oil squirters and different pistons/rods. That's about it.

As I've mentioned before, just for comparison do some old school blocks, I suggest the old Jaguar XK 3.4.

What about 7mgte block compared to 1jz? Just curious how 7m stands up against jz's

Guys, would you do a CRANKSHAFT comparison video of RB25/26/30 vs 1/2JZ???? It would be very interesting to see the material and all the journal diameters!?

You guys should do a CA18DET vs CA18DE comparison! 😁😉

So... a GT500 RRR block is good for 500hp if you want to actually keep it. Noted.

awesome, thank you. I'm hurting too.

if the block is 1-2kg lighter and can hold 500hp and has good cooling. that sounds like the perfect block for what it was designed for. but for the street/strip guy there is no point wasting money on one.

don't know that's why i asked hahaha well considering in usa they get 1600hp out of em, there's a few here round 1000bhp so u gotta think it'd be similar strength? lol

@@5lcalais1 not necessarily. Show me that 1600hp one man need to inspect setup, in terms of what we have here unless they set the stock limiter to bounce more freely without cutting with as much force so as to not see rodney come out to play, builds with forged bits and bobs crank cams etc can't really be judged in the same category If I had to guess the hardness of a v6 eco motor would have varied a lot over the years not anything crazy but from 15 to 20 between weakest and a reasonable block to work with, then there could have been a few unicorns later on in production Who really knows man unless there was someone in the factory at time of the cast being formed because it really does vary eg supercooled cast etc

@@markhalden3922 point being? It wasn't made to be a bullet proof engine and started changing as emissions did. Im not saying it can't make figures of 8, 900 it'll do it but won't like it. No matter what combo you put in the block the worrying factor is always chucking rods or cracks in general
