    The RB is a good looking engine. Its certianly the best sounding 6 cylinder engine. Period. A cylinder head oil drain kit would have been good if youre going to spin that engine fast for long periods. I think you could check the Aussies and New Zelanders for that. It drains oil from the back of the cylinder head.

      @@OverdriveMediaNZ very true, I did 1.0 restrictors on top of my block, PRP head drain, baffled rocker cover too. Next step would be upgrading oil pump, then extended sump. If you’re chasing crazy hp numbers then I’d say considers dry sump set up

    With such big injectors in that fuel system I am surprised that you have not upgraded the fuel pulse damper to a nice low profile radium fuel pulse damper. When I had the stock fuel pulse damper on my EJ Turbo, I had bunch of lean points in the fuel map that had to be compensated for with big fuel spikes, when I got the new radium fuel pulse dampers installed my tuner was able to take out all the big fuel spikes he had to put in and now she runs much better at idle and across the rpm range along with a minor increase in fuel mileage. Over all that long block is sexy looking.

    Quick fun fact about the "paint marks" it's actually a product made by Dykem called "Torque seal". It's not paint, it's a ooey gooey gel that dries rock hard and is a "tamper evident mark". That way you know if the screw has loosened or been removed. I use it all the time in my profession.

    Good call on the R35 coilpacks, my old #1 coilpack shat the bed within minutes of its first startup after working on it for months. Also, highly recommend a P/S belt idler pulley. It is not fun to be at the track and lose a belt that can mar up/damage stuff in your engine bay, then try to drive it at speed without power steering! Ross Performance makes one, or upgrading to a KRC pump kit from Two Six Engineering is a good way to go (and comes with the idler pulley). I've got a few idler kits tho, if you want I can send one up.

The Os Giken twin cam head was super rare i believe somewhere from only 9 or 11 were made, 30 years later they started taking orders again with a revised/updated twin cam head. Proper blast from the past. This RB build has been incredible to watch keep up the fantastic work. The intake is so pretty which is rare for something oem 😂

    not sure if you addressed this in your other prev videos but MY 2 cents would be to ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHT UP either get a new oil pump or check to make sure its not on its way out.
    My RB's OIl pump gave up during a dyno run and was blessed my mechanic was on the ball and noticed the oil guage dropping like mad.
    Upon further reading/research, RB's oil pumps are known to be the achillies heel and die early because, well they not the greatest.

      Also, a few tips from a random interwebz person. 1. Be very wary of Tomei USA products (not sure if that's what you used or not) as they have proven to be pretty crap, the camshafts in particular but I haven't heard anything on "their" oil pumps. 2. Tomei's oil pump manual states that "As the flow rate of the oil pump increases, increasing the oil pan to a high capacity oil pan will be required." in their installation manual. The baffle is nice, but they say a sump upgrade is in order. I'd at LEAST overfill it a bit and make sure to use one of their head restrictors for whatever type of driving you’re going to be primarily doing. Heck, that oil pump opens up a whole world of oil related mods, valve cover baffles, restrictors, head drains etc. 3. When installing that oil pump you would do well to use PRP's crank pump alignment tool, it's cheap insurance to make sure one of the RB's biggest issues is done just right!

    One suggestion I would make is to relocate the IAT sensor from the plenum to the cold side of the intercooler pipe just before it reaches the plenum. The oem iat sensor location is prone to heat soaking and you’ll get much more accurate readings with it in the intercooler pipe.
