One of your best if not the best interview you conducted Andre, he was open with everything filled all the gaps which you are normally required to. He reminded me of Shane T. great video.
This is great to see, you evidently have a wealth of knowledge as does the builder of the car and it's great to see you guys converse at a high level technically.
Want to be like Andre? We can't do anything about your accent, however, we can hook you up with some of the HPA branded gear that he wears. If you're interested check out our brand new merch shop for the details - shop.hpacademy.com/ Our first batch of stock is extremely limited, so get in quick! - Taz.
This monster is so powerful the front wheels lift from the ground. This guy knows what's he's doing and is so humble. People, he's making over 1,300 HP.
Love your vids Andre (feels funny typing that cause we share the same name lol.) You always ask the right questions and to get them to explain how things work is great. Two thumbs up; never fails.
I've long wondered-aside from a general drought of parts for the application-why people never latched on to the RB30s for high perf builds. They sound fantastic and have a ton of potential.
I would say scarcity and for 3 liter inline 6's you're looking at competing with the 2JZ blocks that have been proven power monsters. Not that rb 30's can't make power but 2JZ is just easier to do it with and cheaper.
R32 is basically the same thing as the R34 lol just some changes and more in control of the car than the R34, dont get me wrong i want an R34 my self but i want the nür 2 but the price isnt worth it lol i can get a V spec II R32 for 45k
as a turbo re-builder the first thing i would've thought u would have said would be the inducer. But please explain how does the thrust bearing get killed slowly from no bov?
mraperish the massive post-compressor pressure spike when the throttle is abruptly closed causes air to stack up when trying to exit the compressor housing. when this happens, air tries to escape by flowing through the compressor wheel in reverse. seeing that the compressor wheel moves air inward (which causes normal levels of outward thrust load in normal conditions) in a surge condition the air will exert more outward thrust than normal because the air is trying to escape and the compressor wheel wants the opposite of that as long as it has momentum. this spike in thrust load isn't constant either. think of the sound compressor surge makes *suututututu* the air escapes the compressor in waves because occasionally the compressor wheel is able to draw some air back in because the pressure post compressor has dropped some amount. this wears out thrust bearings quickly because say 30psi on WOT is normal for turbo "X", and the thrust bearing is designed to withstand proportionate thrust load. when the throttle is snapped shut and now there is a stall/surge condition, the thrust bearing is seeing much more load than it was designed to take because of the extreme pressure spikes and pulses from compressure surge. this excessive load depletes the oil film on the bearing and leads to thrust collar to thrust bearing contact, resulting in wear and excessive clearance. when the thrust bearing goes completely, the compressor wheell will hit the housing and the turbo will eventually grenade when the wheel grabs hold of the housing.
oh hang on, I was thinking of the "Thrust Bearing' which is located on your crankshaft. Now Realizing your talking about the Thrust bearing inside of a turbo. my mistake forgot they had one also xD
Ive been told by a few tuners that they would rather get rid of my Eboost 2 and just run the ECU boost control. Can you elaborate on why an Eboost 2 would be preferred over the Haltech in this case (or any for that matter)? Great vid and awesome explanations from the lads at JEM.
He says why he prefers it, as it means he doesn't need a laptop everywhere to alter settings. Using the ECU is 100% a better method however, though some cars can run eboost's and those style devices with no issues I know a few evo guys who have seen major issues with them.
L MO, my tuner is the same, he doesnt like my eBoost Street, but on an factory XR6 turbo ecu, this is the only way to quickly change boost, eg @ the lights.
Yes sir, as Adam mentions he run E85 on the strip, however, if E85 isn't available while on the road the car is flex fuel capable so 98 Octane can be used instead to keep things practical - Taz.
Ahh ok, I figured I missed him say it I was just in awe lol! Do you know how much street driving this car sees? I love these RBs, really under appreciated here in the states, also a lot of inaccurate rumors.
Clearly not an 82mm precision, it's got a 6 inch intake comp cover it's a promod style likely a 88mm not sure why these guy feel they need to bullshit, non the less tuff car
Awesome video. Two guys who are very articulate; having a tech talk about modified cars.. something not often seen on youtube to be honest.
Best car information channel on youtube. You deserve millions more subscribers.
Probably the best tech tour so far!!!!!! Great work Andre and Ben!
We're always so lucky to get great people who are willing to take the time to do interviews like this! - Taz.
Wow. Love how the interviewer actually knows his shit and goes into detail with the car owner
Great video, it's rare that the interviewee is that comfortable with the camera and able to portray information about their car so well.
Mad respect to the owner! Super down to earth and so knowledgeable!

Best technical Motorsport interviewer I have ever heard. Kudos
Thanks Dan! Glad you enjoyed it - Taz.
This guy is awesome, not afraid to go against what the internet says and try other things! Knows his stuff too!

Love these kinda of build breakdowns hope to see more in the near future! Great job Andre and Ben!!
Don't forget about us little guys! - Taz. =P
This guy seems like a great bloke
this was awesome really deep info which i appreciated no dumbing down here which is nice for a change.
I upgraded my thrust bearing on my turbo after wearing the original Garrett thrust bearing and it's been working great with no bov.
The true meaning of "heart of gold" 😍😍😘

WOW that engine looks amazing
That's a sick car, more tech tours! 🏎
Just got my car back from jem very happy with the tune and attention to detail

I always learn so much watching your videos
#missionaccomplished Glad you're enjoying them Tim! - Taz.
Holly shit, this guy is like engine wizard
shit man that engine looks gorgeous
"hundred and sexy mile an hour" :) What a weapon
This car is so sick
Always some good info! Cool video!
I don't really like sequential gear boxes but this was done right, sweet build :)
Cool guy and knows his RB stuff. I wish i could own a R34. I would leave the building of my GTR to him and have a 1600bhp daily driver XD
R32 is basically the same thing as the R34 lol just some changes and more in control of the car than the R34, dont get me wrong i want an R34 my self but i want the nür 2 but the price isnt worth it lol i can get a V spec II R32 for 45k
If only this has the viewerbase like 1320video :(
Feel free to share our videos around, and glad to hear you are enjoying them ;) - Taz.
as a turbo rebuilder, i can confirm running no blow off valve kills the thrust bearing slowly
Makes sense ..

But what about the stutututu?
One hand, fucking nuts
9500 rpm 😳
"it needs what it needs" haha
Great vid!
I like this page...it goes to technical terms not like the joke pages in youtube.
Glad you're enjoying it Jephrey and cheers for sharing your thoughts - Taz.
beast mode
Lol guy in the background @ 6:44 "pffft thats nothing compared to this cop car"
How do I get that colour that’s on the valve cover? Polished and gold plated?
@ 14:40 Oh mein gawd.

What does a transmission in that Skyline go for in US dollars?
1287Kw!?
If you really want your socks blown off that’s 715 tea kettles
42,900 quaint antique lamps
Or 919.285 electric toothbrushes!
So if I power my cars with 1000 electric toothbrushes It'll be fast af?
People are using kw now since electric motors and hybrids.
But yeah 1k toothbrush should clean the competition
Subbed 👍👍
Awesome car! Is it running E85?
Yes sir, as Adam mentions he run E85 on the strip, however, if E85 isn't available while on the road the car is flex fuel capable so 98 Octane can be used instead to keep things practical - Taz.

Wow that dyno must have been in a happy mood that day.
Glad wsid is not into story's
Y'all realize he said he'd using an r33 transmission casing with that ppg set up
Why did he switch up his older build ?
How can we know more about this dude ? Is there any blog or webpage ?
Try here - facebook.com/JustEngineManagement/ - Taz.
I thought my stock CLK 320 was fast... too bad you can't really mod Benzes at 'normal' prices
Amazing build! Waiting for some keyboard guru to comment about compressor surge damaging the turbo..blah blah blah.
I did notice he had a unregulated radiator cap which will create compressor surge and surely damage the turbo.
Did you even watch the video? Because they even talk about compressor surge damaging thrust bearings....
yeah look mate, thats a fuckn sick skidda mate
NISSAN!!!
Clearly not an 82mm precision, it's got a 6 inch intake comp cover it's a promod style likely a 88mm not sure why these guy feel they need to bullshit, non the less tuff car
Why does he start every reply with Yeah look?
Why not? - Taz.
I know you know, but I'm explaining to them :)
At 14:12..
Errrrrrrrr.. don't touch or fucking flick it!!!
Lol 6:25
Zach D oink oink
Next time stand behind the car while doing interview
RB30 blocks are stronger. It has been proven. Blow of valves can harm the engine when highly modified.
Look
960rwkw and a mid 9 second pass 😂😂😂
No cage 168mph -170mph
wouldnt it be an rb34
