Hi ppls,

I am soon to rip the head off, replace valve springs, headgasket and oil restrictors.

I attempted to remove the oil restrictors out of a spare rb30e I have in the shed. I failed. :(

How are these removed? Is it possible to remove and install new without removal of the motor/sump?

I have seen other (non rb) blocks where the oil restrictor have a thread located in the top section of the restrictor, this allows easy removal.

:D

Drill and tap.

Figured as much.

My main concern with drill and tap is leaving metal filings in the block.

I could grab a hoover or something as I drill or make an attachment to fit down the galley after its removed to suck out any possible filings but its always a worry.

Any suggestions?

Hopefully I don't have to report that engine failure Geoff. :)

I'm going to rip the ones out of the vl block and see how far I can push the old restrictors down. If the galley doesn't taper or do anything silly I will push the old ones down and simply drop the new ones on top.

While on the topic.. I've been told the RB26 Tomei headgasket kits from nengun come with the restrictors. RB25/rb20 doesn't. Yet they have similiar price.

Is this really the case or do the tomei restrictors have to be purchased seperately?

Either way I'll drop nengun an email and post back my findings.

Can you use a 26 gasket with a RB25DE head?

and the r32 rb26 head doesnt run vct either. oil/water galleries would be similar to r32 rb25de? Cylinder size is the same...

Solid lifters are always a bonus.....

Wonder if i should sell my fully rebuilt and ported head, and go the gtr head....? Depends...

This is where i am confused. I can get VG30DETT lifters for lsightly cheaper then what Tomei sell their kits for. It would be cool to run 260/10.25mm cams.

The theroy say that solid cams will make more power because they accelerate open/closed quicker, they are lighter etc. But the cost of doing it, only to have to shim/long term maintenance etc...well????

If i spend the same money on the combustion chamber and ports, and stuck with the 260/8.5mm cam ( a cheaper option),how much less power, if any, would it make????

Does having large lift cams hurt velocities/cylinder filling at low rpm like large duration cams???

oh, and this is on topic as ,umm, because when you run oil restrictors, ...well the hydraulic lifters also use oil :P

Hi all , correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the oil restrictors made of brass ? I seem to remember AJ removing one from an L series block by screwing a self taping screw into it and pulling it out with a slide hammer . I dont think the interference fit is real tight .

Cheers A .

I think this may answer some q's Roy.

Especially the 2nd to last paragraph, that says : Synchronizing lift with piston speed keeps airflow at optimal velocities through the ports

Awesome.

I'm a happy man. :P

I've since discovered the tomei restrictors are 1.5mm.

RB30 are 1.8mm

RB26 are 2mm

RB20/25 are 2.4mm

Thanks.

One last question... Does the rb26 tomei headgasket kitcome with 2 restrictors?

Running the hydraulic head I need to keep the two.

nope, they come with one. They are a very easy thing to make though.

No drama's... I am able to get my hands on another easy.

Proengines.. Whats your view on 2 x 1.5mm restrictors?

Obviously I won't hold you to anything you say as I doubt any one has actually tested, so its an unknown.

But technically speaking, does the hydraulics really need much more oil over its big brother solid?

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
