  • You asked for it, so here it is. We analyse the Barra block, have Platinum Racing Products perform their block tests and we compare it to the legendary RB30 and 2JZ blocks. Please bare in mind we are analysing the block only, no other parts or systems of the engines.

    I'm a Toyota guy but credit were credits due.
    Not only did Ford Australia engineer a block that stands up to some of the most bullet proof performance engines in the world but they then went and dropped them into damn near every car they made.. Thanks to that ppl are going to be building relatively inexpensive monsters out of junkyard parts for decades to come.

      You know how expensive a 2JZ is in Australia? Abit of a unicorn here. First of all, know what you're talking about - A turbo barra motor that's produced after June 2006 can handle 380rwkw+ quite reliably. I had one with well over 200k km's pushing around 400rwkw with no issues. 450rwkw on a stock motor (besides valve springs) is very common. To make such a combo reliable, rods/pistons/springs is all that is needed at that power level. It does not cost 25k to do these mods, I would be very skeptical if I was quoted over 8k by a workshop. There is no doubt the 2JZ is extremely capable but let's act like grown ups here - assuming you are an adult, a little bit of maturity by not spreading miss information to push childish agendas goes a long way.

    Heck yeah, great vid. The occasional Barra did suffer from a bit of water jacket movement during casting, resulting in some having thin spots in the bore, but it really only comes into play with engines running massive horsepower, and the blocks are so ridiculously cheap that anyone having to source a thick wall block for their big boost build will likely only spend 1% of their overall budget finding a good one 😁

It was nice to learn a bit about the barra as well as its not one we see in the UK at all.

    @noxious89123 5 років тому +2

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the strength of the block dictates what sort of cylinder pressure the engine can endure; a larger capacity engine will require less cylinder pressure to make the same horsepower, when compared to a smaller engine. So no doubt being a 4.0L helps the barra make the impressive numbers that it does.

    • @IISIDESWIPEZII

    Love ya work mate. 👍
    I have 1 little whinge though. Anychance of broadening the scope of analysis?
    1000hp seems to be the bench mark these days for 'high performance' engines.... Shame that too. 1000hp is virtualy USELESS for anything other than drag racing, or bragging, unless the rest of the car has the nuts modified off it too the point it is no longer practical for use (enjoyment) on public roads. Let alone traffic or rain. Then you need another car to take it somewhere so u can drive it as its intended to be used (and the process begins again lol)
    Any chance of doing some videos that approach these engineering comparisons from a circut racing or sports/street perspective aswell?
    Making a USEABLE 600-700hp from a small displacement, highly strung engine suited for track/street is actually more difficult (maybe not usually quite as expensive) than just going for big game as the way the engine makes its power and deals with heat, fluid dynamics blah blah blah is just as, or more, important than how much it makes.
    A 1/4 or 1/8th mile slip is a reference mark of sorts granted but it only tells a fraction of the story. Sure, your big balled monster of an engine will probably smoke me off the mark or from a slow rolling start in a straight line, but, (in my opinion) anyone with some nads and practice can go fast (relativley) in a straight line but its where the straight line ends, changes direction and becomes another straight line that is the real challange. and then there is rally drivers....

      -IOI- it’s just as simple as is comparing and analysis popular blocks. Reliability or 1000hp drag racing is relevant to reliability of 600-700hp of circuit racing in our opinion.
      These videos just show the basics of what to look for for a solid base for an engine build. If we went into every aspect of an engine the videos will be 10 hours Kong and we’d spend tens of thousands of dollars we don’t have making them.

      Irony also has the win in that many current GM and Ford vehicles use engines that either have been designed or developed by 'rice pot' companies. Fords famed 'Eco-Boshit' 4 cylinder is really just Mazda's L-Series 'rice pot' '
      GM uses the 'SGE' engine which was designed by Shanghai Auto Industries together with Shanghai GM.
      Also worth mentioning is most of the production line equipment on GM assembly lines are made by 'ricepot' Japanese company Hirata Corporation.......

    I’d love to see this comparison series extended to 4 cylinders like sr20, 4g63, K20, and 3sgte!
