Hey,

I pulled down two rb25 det blocks...one for a rb30 build and the other just for a light rebuild for the race car while the 25/30 is in progress. I have some photos of the blocks to confirm about oil restrictors. One block is a s1 and other is s2. I had a piece of 1.56mm m/s tig electrode and i could not fit it down either of the two oil feeds. Both of these motors were dead std when we got them...one from car we already owned and one I picked up from down the coast which came in dead std form 2nd hand. Now If the restrictors are 2.4mm then shouldnt i have been able to fit the electrode down the feed? To me they look about 1.5mm, after i tapered the electrode tip abit it would just fit into the feed. Verniers verified 1.5mm holes.

Remember everything on these engines is std..internals/externals. So im lost.

Or am i confused with whats what here?

Cheers.

will watch this thread ..

but on the tomei web site they sell the restrictors, and only thing they say about the rb25 is that you shouldn't use them if still using lash (hydrolic) lifters..

interesting..

was looking at my rb30 and rb25 blocks. i thought the rb30 ones were bigger than the rb25 (visually only)

Im pretty sure i read somewhere 2 X 2.4mm hole std for rb20 and 25. Im pretty damn sure these engines are both std and have 1.5mm holes in them.

Yeh i know the tomei site doesnt recommend using them with the hydraulic followers...but SK recommendations have been noted in the rb30 thread regarding oil restrictors.

Has anyone else opened up a 20/25 to find 1.5mm holes in their feeds?

Bloudy Cubes hey lol...leading us all astray. Unless he just got told that from his engine builder and someone got confused somewhere along the way.

So i guess you would still just block one off as per SK specs.

was the Rb30 block using a 1.8mm restrictor as per his measurements?

this is something i have been tossing up over the build, still cant get a good answer on what to run.. might just run an N1 with 1 feed of 1.5mm...

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
