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

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

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!

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!

Jake is right we do need more rb enthusiasts here in the states because it's mostly played out v8s/jz setups. #needmorerbs

Makes me so happy to see more Aussie content on this channel, even a bit of QR in there too! Can’t wait for the Lone Star/DCA mashup when they give away holidays to each other’s events

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

Yeaaa squid!!! He isnt lying, saw the RBM3 two weeks ago (for the 3rd time) and she bloody sings!!! :D

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

Adam LZ might want to take some notes so he doesn't have a repeat SR

One of the most down to earth drifters out there. Total respect. 👍

Rb for life

Building an rb26 kinda just like that just bigger turbo. Street and drag weapon. Good job dude

He really does reply to comments so hit him up for real!

Awesome stuff bro, hoping my RB30det build will be as bullet proof as your monsters lol. We need more RB knowledge out here!!

Thank you!! Cant wait to make my RB bullet proof.

hell yer another jake jones video on lonestar! love the videos guya

I love this video. I built a RB30/26 for my Skyline and it's good to see others success. I like comparing my build to other, especially ones like this that's being pushed to the limit. This is R&D at its best.

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!!

Aaron bring the DriftSquid to a TMS event. We all want it.

Billet gears and pump is the way. The steel gears will slowly eat away at the stock pump.

11:10 we were the team that went just before you that day, same lane too, I even stayed and watched the bmw do the pull :D

Jake needs a GoFundMe to come to FD USA

Here for the squid!

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!

Great video, thanks! Have you checked out the Ecumaster EMU Black ECU's? Great price and good features. I'm thinking about going there with my 25/30.

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

RB Gang!

Awesome! I love the squid

To be fair the nissan trigger wheel is a COAT the easy option is simply put the AEM 24+1 trigger wheel in your standard set up ...and the haltech will be fine with it

2 words. Closed. Deck. We need some tracks like that one in japan where they get air. Ebisu (?) Individual cylinder sensors for exhaust manifold?

The N1 block is not as good as Nissan wants you to believe I think Herman from Prp did a vid on them

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

Did you listen to the engine note at the end of the video? Thats why they call the Skyline Godzilla.

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

In deed a perfectly built engine reference. Awesome Rb build. 💪💪💪

Thanks for the solid info.. Sold on the RB26/30 combo for an R32 build. Saw Anthony's engine from Dahtone Racing with the flyby wire system- any opinions on that? Just gonna be a street car no track drifting and that engine bay looked so clean.

Good on you Aaron!! Well said Jake!! RB 4 life

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.

I agree on the more RB's. Not that I don't respect a v8 build ad they can be absolute monsters, I just find um played out

One day I will have a car like this OMG!!

solid video bro!

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

Love it! 🤘

Love just love it, same here iam in the US and cant stand the pushrod v8s

Thanks for the tips bro!

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.

I really thank you for this video its explains really important things, I have a question for you,, what other balancer you recommend if I can't get that one? Building little power, about 600hp+ at the wheel. Thank you

2:24 likewise

Cool video

thank you appreciated

Also nice driving 🤙🏾

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?

Which turbo is that and when does it make full power by?

rhanks mate think im gonna rebuild a 1000gp c33

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!

Love the video. But should of been a R33

Would a dry sump eliminate most issues plus a head drain tap??

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

Interesting is the first time I’ve heard of someone having issues with haltech 🤷‍♂️🤔

Hey aaron please try to get RYAN LITTERAL to make a video on his badass s14 rb25 neo drift car setup next!

Pretty amazing car

Do love you video thank you for sharing. I'm about to get a r33 and start mopping up on some v8's that all everyone drives in tx and thinks is fast I hate it. #RBForlife

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.

Fuckin awesome video guys, thanks!!!

@Driftsquid where can i get the steel gear set for the n1 oil pump

Better breather system > head drain.

So much useful info! Thanks Jake & lone star

Awesome rb builds🤙🏽

Good job squid RB power 4 life

head drain in rb25neo drain oil from head to block for only 370-400hp like 15-17 psi only it’s must use drain head to black oil ???

Why not fueltech ecu? Who does all the wiring for you?

O I love it already! Such a sick beemer

For rb25 neo engine, Are you using thicker head gasket? Do you have a return to your sump from your catch tank? Or the head drain enough for it? Thank you for the video learned much from it

Hell Yeah!

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

Hello. Are you using shimles bucks on the RB?

how much did it cost to get 1000hp? i know nothing about rb's im a ls guy

I just bought an RB NEO 2 weeks ago. Tearing it down to do a head gasket, oil pump, extended crank collar and head drain. Never knew about the harmonics. So i have a question, which ATI damper did you go with? Iv been looking and not sure which to get

Did not see or find the links you mentioned in video. Can you advise the supplier of Oil Head Drain kit? (Harping? Racing) & would like to check into this Kevin Lawerence - u have his RU-vid info or other? thx. ? enjoyed the clip from USA

What super damper are you using for the rb25? I tried talking to ATI told me they don’t make super dampers for RB25. Im so confused

What Sequential transmission Brand were you running that managed to have the input shaft failure?

Hey bro , wandering where would you find a n1 pump with steel gears ? Or is it a d.i.y ,

Arby's is pretty good

How much would it cost to make this amount of hp ?

#SquidToFD

Can i put this engine in a Subaru BRZ???

Sweet sounds great job

So young so mutch knowlage well done young en burn that rubber

whats a rough guess on what the m3 cost to get it to this point?

i got 400whp on mine...and i have to take my motor out to check all these things .-.

What wold the cost be for this.

Rule nr 1# have money and next have fun :D

Good way to keep others informed. Keep it up and if you want to talk more about RB's contact me @Nismology Inc Facebook and Instagram

isnt N1 oil pumps already have steel gears in them?

The real question is how much does it cost to build a reliable rb

@AdamLZ

simple.....money

What are the advantages to 26det as opposed to a 30det?

Hey I wanna build a rb g35 could I use my g35 gear box
