RB26 vs RB30 (3.2)- Which one is better in Skyline GT-R? 800whp is mental on the street!

Our R32 Skyline GT-R is back! In this episode of Motive Garage we compare a 2.6L to a 3.2L engine package. All of the support gear and external parts are the same, all that has changed is the RB30 block with Nitto 3.2L stroker kit and slightly larger camshafts to suit increased capacity. Finally some REAL data and results on the effect of increased capacity on a RB.

Looking skinny mate, well done Also keen to see the final outcome. Amazing build series

[@reeloffroadadventure9076]

791hp is awesome numbers id be stoked with that more then enough to play on the street and track

[@elliotspaull7550]

Congrats on the weight loss Andrew looking a little younger minus the grey hair haha, great vid keep up the good work!

[@manitoublack]

I wasn't sure if I was seeing things. But indeed. getting down to race weight only makes the car faster ;)

[@MrDattopet]

I still find it hard every time a new video comes out I think it's not Andrew but his voice and another good video

[@cardboardcartel5910]

He needs to do some biceps curls 😆

[@boosts14]

I think he looks like he’s aged a lot I thought he was sick

[@cyclonicleo]

@@boosts14 Yeah I thought he looked pretty unwell either. The weight loss is rapid. He's either had surgery or has had a serious lifestyle change.

[@RobPsi747]

Congrats Andrew CRD did a killer job "3.2L all the way brother. 💯🔥💪👊 #RBlife

[@Banzaj33]

God damned this is going to be cool! Bring out the popcorn🍿! It's so nice to see all this knowledge and experimenting in these videos, it's a breath of fresh air compared to the run-of-the-mill hotboi youtuber GTR's. Keep up the awesomeness!

[@Laminur]

The results look amazing. Can't wait to see you get into testing!

[@lukek624]

Seeing Jim overlooking the car still even though Con is awesome just reminds me the cars origins and longevity around the CRD stables Andrew. Glad to see the outcome and looking forward to the future tests with real interest

[@CorpseExplosion]

30 mins? I must've done something right in a past life

[@mediocre_moto]

The car is coming along nicely, I'm looking forward to nerding out on all of the future comparison tests!

[@Rotary_Papi]

Andrew the look on your face and the laugh after those pulls just screams pure happiness and enjoying that moment. Congratulations man! You deserve it after all the hard work. Can’t wait to see more.

[@JesseSpec]

Awesome video! The amount of time that has gone into this video (and build) must be out of this world 😮‍💨👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@Matty.Hill_87]

I love the fact you've put a 3.2 litre in a r32

[@lindseygordon9982]

Unreal Andrew, i have been following for quite sometime and have watched JET014 grow and it is a treat to see the build over the years. Still gives me hope that one day could do this level of build. Never stop sharing!

[@AlistairLattimore]

Congratulations Andrew, CRD and all of the people who have helped get the GT-R to where it is - genuinely stunning and sounds EPIC!

[@Jtheman497]

My favorite channel and 2nd favorite build series. No secrets took spot #1. Killer stuff Andrew!

[@JonC4296]

That's a hallmark of a well tuned street car, how smooth the power band and how driveable the GTR is. Awesome build! Reminds me of the Mine's tuning philosopy.

[@drdesmo8489]

If this isn’t a massive epic journey into the land of bliss, I don’t know what is !?! If you like engine building, developing and tuning it literally doesn’t get better then this. Thank you for such wicked content Andrew !

[@GapSauceYoutube]

I pretty much run your original GTX35 twin scroll setup on my 34 although bigger exhaust cam. When I moved to 3L, the boost threshold came right down, it builds boost just driving in traffic down at 2000rpm. Glad you're happy with your result mate.

[@EE9Civic]

Awesome, really looking forward to the upcoming tests, answering some questions I'd love a good answer to.

[@hyper8545]

Congratz. Its a amazing car you guys did great job working on everything 👏

[@OzModified]

Liked before i even watched it! Been waiting ages for this 👌🏼

[@markwilkinson9302]

19:56 and 20:11 the feeling of enjoyment you don't get unless you build it yourself! :) congrats man! I remember the feeling of mine when I got a measly 400kw and it was exactly that!

[@crxtodd16]

Isn't it funny how that is? 400kw is VERY powerful, way faster than most cars on the street. But suddenly when you compare it to 600kw it's suddenly feeling sluggish, even though it's already way more than you'd ever need! 🤷

[@emcovlogs_136]

awesome to see it back, cant wait to see more content

[@Craigo95]

Congrats mate, been a long time coming for ya. Cant wait for more vids on it

[@TwoThreadsAhead]

This thing is nasty! Such a clean street build already and I can only imagine how epic it's going to end up by the time you are done with it, You're basically building my dream 32

[@39PSIOnTheDaily]

I’m running 750ish WHP @39psi out of an 86.5mm piston’d, cam’d, twin turbo’d (still), RB26 BNR32 and all I can say is… you make me wanna tear everything down and spend $100,000 on my car first thing in the AM.

I bought the IEE DBW kit right when it became available. I just haven’t been able to put it in the car. I can’t wait to see how it performs!!

[@lutherblissett9070]

Elite 2500 PnP ECU, Mamba D5 turbos, Nismo Plenum, IEE DBW, V-Cam, OEM GTR coils and injectors and it's a transformed car! 400kw with better than stock fuel consumption and spool on a 2.6! Bolt Ons FTW!

Looking lean and mean Andrew🔥🔥 Car is looking good as well. Nice build lots of valuable information as normal!🙏 Cheers mate! Getting ready to rebuild my first rb26 my channel.

Both you and the car looking good man 👍🏻. And as always the engine sounds wicked.

Killer Andrew, the build and the build direction is going to be epic.. looking forward to the GTR videos in the future 👌👌

[@fendel_]

Epic! 3.2L all the way! Love the data and the comparison and the way this is going. The car looks so sick. Best GTR project on youtube? :)

[@il_calabresi8672]

from 17 psi to 20 psi exhaust note just changed aggressively.. love it.

[@PHATT_TV]

This is a dream build of mine🔥. Absolute weapon! I still would’ve loved to have seen max hp on 3.2 vs 2.6 with the G35-1050

[@MotiveVideo]

Thanks for the support. been a long road. The turbo tapped put at 900 on 2.6 and would do same on 3.2 but less boost. The back pressure is high at that power and not worth the stress on the engine while were testing parts. G45-1500 will take us past 1100hp piece of cakw

[@PHATT_TV]

@@MotiveVideo Always support u guys, best auto channel ever! Thanks 🙏🏽 so much for reply as I just installed G35-1050 on my 34R(2.6) & info u give is invaluable 👌🏽.

Hope to see you tomorrow at the end of of month meet. Good work mate.

[@ccooxxyy]

Oh have I been waiting for this!!! 🤙🤙👌

[@finnroen2334]

This is pure gold. :) Broken dyno, record rain fall, fall and winter here, but somtime, I will log the airflow from the VE table in the Haltech. Importing this to a excel spreadsheet, converting it to lb/min on the X-axis and the "MAP" in BAR out of the turbo on the Y-axis, one should get a curve to draw on all compressormaps. Should be way more accurate than turbocharger speed. :)

[@carllourenznaidoo2470]

Great job man

[@JH-jo9wt]

Literally been waiting years for this - congrats Andrew Whats this car going to be like in a years time........scary thought

[@luke_james]

Good work on the gtr good to see it back on the road. Any chance u could do a tear down on a rb25de neo. I've turboed mine and its making good power and runs fine but I would like to see the size of the rods and hear ur thoughts on turboing the Na 25neo

[@mjaymo]

Nice that your daughter is into the car as well and joins you for the run in.

[@danielh5062]

Please please please put together a video, where you show us data from the dyno (turbo speed vs pressure ratio plotted on the compressor map, MAP vs exhaust back pressure). I (hope others as well) would love to see real life data. Your setup is perfect for learning, and I think, your audience is mature enough to appreciate some "nerdiness". Thank you for all the work and effort put in these videos

[@MotiveVideo]

We are using that data for a separate video about using compressor map to tune

[@chris.pbacon7584]

Cannot wait to see this at kootamundra one day

[@user-hw7yz2uu8g]

Impressive build and amount of work, Andy) go on! Please measure 100-200 time Waiting for dbw 6-throttle body, sounds like very special, personally don’t like single throttle conversions on 26-like engines

[@StoicVisions]

god damn brotha lookin slim! keep it up

[@AndrewEG]

Getting fit mate well done. Make sure you have the EGTs protruding a maximum of 3mm. Also use a 5mm closed tip EGT otherwise the vibrations will break the tips off. Pretty common for us to destroy 25k proto turbos during mapping at a OEM.

[@flamintasty]

LOL do you think they don’t know what they’re doing and need a youtube clown to tell them how to do it? 🙄

Did you add a crankcase pressure sensor in all that? Be interesting to see what pressures you’re seeing in the engine when it’s under load and how that affects the hp overall.

[@raymondvanbavel204]

Is there a way I can get the whole range of videos on your R32GTR starting from the first mods as I love this car to bits, I never really liked the R32GTR until I saw your subtle styling with Big mods

Click the playlist mate

[@jimmyandtommy1]

I'd be curious to see a good oem water to air intercooler setup compared as well. I've seen some good results from AMG water to air setups.

[@msmarttt]

Brilliant work! I've heard you say before about 10W60 oil, can you tell me why you praise this particular viscosity so much?

[@MotiveVideo]

Because it works the best, proven by oil tests in a laboratory with Nulon and Castrol

[@AboodAlmodhi]

awesome video i always want to hear what between 2.6 and 3.2 in terms of part throttle driving and feels like it's much better even in low rpm situation I drive a 2000 infiniti Q45 and i don't have to rev't past 2k rpm becuase it soo torquey

[@bigcazza5260]

not wrong you need a specific exhaust/turbo combo to get close to 2f2f rb sound, capacity doesnt matter that much for noise, its just no one runs a 3.2 on a street exhaust so people think the capacity changes it
