Nothing hurts more than being soft and not enough thickness. Story of my life...

[aceoboy]

Best informational video to come out on rb's since ever

Thank you Herman for taking the initiative to do something like this! Platinum is at the cutting edge of RB development

[kemosabe]

Thats cool. Over priced N1 block is the same as a RB25 block. Must piss people off.

[blkcyborg]

Man you guys have the best videos on RB’s and GTR’s hands down. I really appreciate all the content also this video helped a lot thanks for all the knowledge! Hope u do a video on 26 vs 25 heads

[kitvexed]

man, this is a heartbreaker.. i was thinking i had something special with my '23U' but Herman's tests prove it to be no better than a garden variety '05U' and neither one of these are any less than an N1.. they're all the same after all. wow!

[HKE_]

I'm guessing there are going to be quite alot of n1 blocks for sale real soon :D
Thanks for taking the time and effort for making this vid MotiveDVD!

Thanks for clearing the myths in the internet cause forums are a joke. 👌

This channel is the holy grail for English speaking rb nerds. You guys are doing God’s work

[driftnate]

Cool video! Wish they tested the RB20. Wonder if it shares the same casting as the other engines. The 78mm bore would be the one with thicker walls

[radracer]

That 66.6 kilo block though....


The Devil's Heart.

Awesome video guys👍 Nothing beats facts and scientific testing. You are unquestionable the best resource for Skyline and RB content on YouTube😀

[Racer..X]

This was just flawless. I appreciate when guys put in work like this for the culture

[obsessed]

thankyou, there is nothing i appreciate more then 100% real data. keep up the good work gentlemen.

[shmcmillan]

Great video Andrew and thanks Herman for taking the time to do it.
I would have really liked to know how the rb20det faired against the rest.
Thanks again.

The sonic testing part was BADASS! Definitely haven't seen many of these tests done and posted on Youtube.

[wheelzinmotion]

Herman, thank you so much for taking the time to do all these testings and sharing it with us. Your video definitely helps clarify a ton of misinformation and rumors that for decades have been floating around, but there's nothing better than to prove with empirical data the real science behind it all.

One question that I've always had, is have you ever compared the RB25DE, vs RB25DET RWD vs RB25DET AWD blocks head to head? Maybe the RB25DE & RB25DET RWD blocks are identical, however I've always wondered if the RB25DET AWD is beefier compared to the RWD.

Incredible info, testing parameters, and results.

[JVz]

Herman I really do appreciate all your hard efforts in going above & beyond for all this information.
