The restrictor from factory (and aftermarket ones) is about 3mm deep. Generally people just push any new restrictor on top of an old one, so you need to drill 3 to 6mm. But you should drill it out of the block and then push it in later, you don't need crap in the oil galleries.

only problem with that is some restrictors get a bit smaller when you put them in. myne went from a ~1.5mm hole down to almost nothing just from tapping them into the block, then had to drill them out again once they were in

The guys at duncan foster in south sydney fit all those drain back fittings to the end of the head for external oil drain back.

They also fitted to mine a fitting to the exhaust side next to the standard drain ,an external fitting there as the engine leans that way so the oil does not pool up

Makes sense i guess???

Not talking about oil restrictors that are fitted to block ,but oil drain back fittings fitted EXTERNALLY as well

A grubscrew restrictor wont have that issue.

Who ever made those ones that are closing up most likely made them too big in the OD. Too much crush!

they were the tomei ones, but i sent you a long email with far more detail. :thumbsup:

Quick question. I have a neo rb25 which pushes 350 rwkw and sees a lot of track thrashing and limiter action. Never once has catch can seen oil so oil control is pretty decent. Anyway it's all apart now and I'm getting a crank collar fitted and was going to go n1 oil pump. Will I need restrictors in the block? If so what size do ppl suggest. Cheers

They are no good period Simon. Particularly if you are a slider.The constant banging on the limiter will crack the gear as sure as theres shit in a cat.

The last few i saw fail all had the snout extension in place.

A season or two of competition would surely have identified setup weaknesses for the engine.

If you've got no evidence of oil supply/delivery problems, then it sounds like the OEM pump design is ok for the application. Whether that particular pump should be replaced might be an issue to resolve after good inspection.

Are you freshening the engine, or planning on development work and spinning it faster?

A set of billet gears is a worthy investment. I've seen good results from them.

I cant advise you what oil restriction setup works for the neo as I've had no experience with it.

You still need an oil supply to drive the vct but unlike the 33 head you dont have to feed hydraulic lifters. Surely someone on here has had experience with this setup.

I've lost count the amount of times I've hit my limiter with my N1 pump. Hell @ the drags i even flat change just for a laugh.

Virtually 12 months on, no issue at all.

Guess you northern people get different N1 pumps to us down here.

Dale. I spun bearings as a result of an oil cooler connection failure. So replacing crank. Bearings and getting crank collar done also. Haven't pulled my pump apart yet but there was very little in the way of bearing material so I may be lucky. However I kinda doubt re-using it is a smart move. Was leaning toasted cleaning and inspecting housing and fitting billet gears. I don't think I'll run restrictors if I go down this path as pressure and flow should remain the same

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
