I understand everything about this concept but I have never seen an RB26 motor out of the bay before...does anyone have any pictures of where these oil feeds are.....and how do you differentiate between which is the 1st feed and 2nd so as not to get confused aboiut which to block and which to restrict?

Thanks

I wounder how this effects oil pressure just by blocking the rear orifice off.

cheers

Makes no difference, the pressure relief valve controls the oil pressure.

:dry: cheers :thumbsup:

I dont really want to pull a RB26 apart just to do these mods, especially given its young age (1999) but i dont want to sit back and wait for it to go 'BANG' while im at Mallala.

Would a much larger sump with the appropriate baffles suffice for the occasional track day or does the majority of oil remain in the head regardless of sump volume???

snake you pretty much have to pull the engine to put the baffled sump in, the head is only a few bolts further to go....and once thats off why not do new rings bearings and balancing as well?

Ok Guys...

On sunday we started pulling the engine out to do

1: restrictor

2: clutch

3: Engine mount

4: look for any issues

5: change lifters

We took out the engine and box at the same time.

I have got pictures here for everyone to look at on how to put the restrictors in. its pretty easy and does work!!!! before i used to get lots of oil escaping from the CATCH can. ie the catch can was not working. now nothing comes out of the catch can. All i did was block the front oil feed and put a tomei 1.5mm restrictor in the rear feed (as per sydney kids advice) people would tell me my engine was rooted because its got lots of blow by rah rah rah so i aimed to prove them wrong.

To block one of the oil feeds we screwed a screw into the 1.8mm (stock rb30 restrictor) and then pulled it out. once it was out we realised that the screw was stuck in there so we just cut it and put it back in. (See pic)

As for the other one I purchased the 1.5 mm restrictor from hi octane (the tomei one for $17 delivered) and bashed the old restrictor down and bashed this one ontop. (see pics)

for the million $$ question does it make a difference in oil pressure???.

YES.. it does.. BUT only when the engine is cold. before the oil pressure gauge would go up to 3 quarters full on cold startup. Now it goes nearly up to the last line but as soon as the engine warms up it goes back to normal and NO oil pressure increase has been noticed at all.

No difference in lifter noise has been noticed.

YES it did fix my problem (well SO FAR. no oil has escaped from the catch can when before it would escape from catch can.)

I built this RB30DET back in 2004 before anyone knew about the oil issue and how to fix it - so thanks to sydney kids help i have been able to fix this problem.

Its very easy to put the restrictors in and i reccomend that you do this on your rb30det conversion.

See pics.

I hope this helps everyone - heaps of pics to look at.. I am really stoaked my clutch works properly now !!! :mellow:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
