@@MotiveVideo My take on it is, it's a perfect engine for 500rwhp all day everyday. With good water and oil flow. You build the engine around what it was designed for. You want a 1000+hp drag racing engine, go billet. why on earth would you go stock and risk spending more if it breaks? You want circuit racing limited to 500hp or perfect street runner, GT500 block.

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.

[@slickstrings]

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.

[@Zonda1996]

Amazing that RRR blocks held their prices through this. I can’t imagine people wanting big power to go in this direction anymore.

[@988oguzhan]

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...

[@TheMadkent]

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.

[@felipegacitua4451]

I watched the Live stream and this one now. Great job guys. Just a side note. The comments regarding the block prices make perfect sense. But if you are a collector of rare parts you will always pay top dollar. Like the owner of this block, he never used it or opened it. who knows the plans for it.

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.

Thank you for sharing this video, but I wonder.

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?

Thats a question me too, perhaps e503 toyota engine just usual 3sgte stroked 2.1 liter hahaha Maybe nismo only do qc control to meet their standard, and for 500 hp 2.6 liter you dont need super high strong block as GT500 toyota on that time only rely on 2.1 liter engine

[@negativeindustrial]

trianggaindra lukmana God I wish that were the case. I’ve lusted after an e503 for two decades. 3S-GTE is the fucking shit but I’d love to have one of those! 5S-GTE using a 98+ Camry block is the next best thing tho.

Hey guys where is the motive workshop located???

[@juangarcia7824]

You guys need to test the 2jz-ge vs 2jz-gte

[@Constantine_Stranger]

Can you test a billet RB block just to see the difference??

[@bradleyhardath3124]

Correct me if am wrong but can u put sleeves in d bores ?

[@T1000AX]

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.

T1000AX exactamundo We aren’t here to prove it doesn’t do it’s intended job

[@UndeadCrook]

Compare one of the BMW blocks - m54 , m52 , s54 thanks
