hey TriniGT

what engine are you running?

here is a pic of my rear oil drain setup. it goes into the rear oil drain for the twin turbo setup on a GTR

Thanks but any bigger pics, although I get the idea. Also any pics of die grinding the oil galleries witha a before and after shot, SydneyKid, where are you.

get your head gasket

place it on the block in place with the dowels in place to confirm its placement

die grind it til it is flush with the gasket on these rear galleries, no need to be bigger than the hole in your gasket

I don't think that is correct. You use forged rods to handle more forces, not reduce them. Correct me if I am wrong.

Only if the rod is lighter than the standard item. Which I don't believe 'some' are??

However.. Reducing this mass at the piston end is much more benifitial. Forged pistons weigh less than the cast items. This reduces the weight hanging off the end of the rod, obviously reducing strain.

Much like a flywheel... Your better off reducing weight on the outer edge as its more benifitial, reducing weight towards the center is next to useless.

After reading this thread a few weeks ago, then again today, I am still unsure of what to do for my application, so if someone wouldn't mind pointing me in the correct direction...

RB26, acl race bearings with calico coating, have not decided on pump yet (JUN if money allows, N1 if not). Anyways, the car is a daily driven street car but sees the cicuit time about once a month. Revs should stay below 8000rpm at all times (7500rpm shiftpoint, 7800rpm revlimit). Would you say that 1.25mm would be the best since it is in between the two applications or should you just go straight for the 1mm since it will see the track on a regular basis?

i much prefer to use one that has an raised lip that interference fits into the removed plug in the back of the head, not just bolts too the back of it like yours.... may be worth a few more sessions on the cnc.

We use mig welding tips, they are copper and about 6.2mm in diameter, depending on brand i spose. But then you have a choice of hole sizes for the different thickness wires used. Common welding wire for steel is 0.9mm but the tips are 1.0mm to allow for wire expansion from heat, so thats a 1mm restrictor, you just gotta cut it down to the length which should be about 6mm also from memory. If you use copper ally tips, they generally allow .2 expansion for wire so if its a 1.2mm tip the hole is actually 1.4mm.

Thats a typical 0.9mm steel tip at work. With a 1.0mm hole up its arse. Ive found that actually machining up 6.0mm restrictors is easy enough but then drilling a 1.0mm hole or 1.2mm hole is damn near impossible as the drill bits are too easy to snap. I snapped 4 X 1.0mm bits just to make one restrictor last time i tried that approach.

You guess is not too bad, I would agree 1.25 mm is the go.

:) cheers :)

Hope I am not hijacking this thread but did put a question up in the motorsport section.

My RB25 is for circuit racing only. Just turned it into a 5 cylinder with number one creating a new hole in the block. I need to go the dry sump way but cannot find any information on pan set up or specs. Can any body shed any light on the subject.

The wet sump ran wings, baffles, trap doors whilst the top end has enlarged breather holes going to two catch cans and a large bore line back to the sump including a holly red pump to drain oil back into the sump from the catch can.

Thanks

My experience tells me #1 cylinder letting go is not likely to be oil surge related. The only time I have seen #1 (or #2) let go was due to rod bolt breakage.

The RB30 thread has some pictures of the dry sump arrangement by R33racer.

You can of course leave your sump the way it is and simply plumb in 2 dash 8 fittings for the scavenge pumps. One moire at the rear of the cylinder for the 3rd scavenge stage and its done.

Most of us have used the air con compressor bracket on the LHS of the engine as a mountimg point for a 4 stage pump, like the Peterson 03-4201 Left Side, Twin Blade, Std Pressure

This is a 3 stage RHS, I can't find my picture of a 4 stage LHS, but it give you the idea

The crank spins clockwise, so the best place for the sump valley is on the RHS of the engine, with the scavenge lines going under the sump from the pump. This is a Chevy dry sump pan utilising that same logic

Thanks Sydney Kid, I appreciate the feedback and links etc.

I think you are right, looking through the hole with what is left of the Eagle rod there are definitely no bolts left in place...still need to go the dry sump way as I am building a Silvia spaceframe sports sedan with mid mount RB motor and have no room for a normal wet sump.

Cheers again

Sorry to bring this back from the dead. But my head is almost finished.

Where exactly should the external oil feed be routed to ON the sump?

I'm also sorry to bring this back from the dead....what did you guy block off the back restrictor with?

I machined up a bit of ally, 6mm long by about 6.1mm in diameter.

By external oil feed, if you mean rear drain from the head then it goes to the sump somewhere normally on the LHS of the motor..ie exhaust side.

I used a -12 90° brass threaded fitting, tapped into the head, with teflon braided hose going to a welded -12 fitting on the RHS of the sump, just below the oil dipstick hole.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
