Narrow it down to ill be setting pressure to 70-65psi

Narrow the restritors to

Leave VCt, 1.3mm in the other two

Or

Leave VCt, 1.5mm and block rear, (or should this be block middle 1.5mm rear)

Abr33 are you running a head drain? Also are you running bigger sump with extended pickup?

Doesnt really matter which oil feed gets blocked, it all runs a common gallery for lifters...

I have a gated and baffled sump that I made with better pickup, holds bit over 7 litres. If you need pics I think I put them up several pages back or can send more.

And have a rear head drain/vent also enlarged oil return channels and drilled return holes to 9mm. Also running front of sump to cam vent but will send it to a can soon.

Don't block the rear oil feed it does matter, block the centre at 75 to 85 psi max hot oil pressure if you leave the front restrictor std (which if you want the VCt to operate you should) and block the centre then reducing the rear to as little as 0.9mm combined with using a high volume pump so as oil pressure at idle is 30 psi or greater hot the lifters won't rattle.

So many mixed story's, this thread has a graph on the first page and that says to block the rear?

Fine on a gtr head with solid lifters and no VCt. You have VCt and hydraulic lifters yes? Then don't block the rear, your engine builder would know this if they don't be concerned, mention loss over distance and gauge the response , trust me block the rear and the lifters at the rear of the head will define it for you.

Yeah running hydraulic lifters and VCt, the engine builder didn't wanna put any in for the fact of noisey lifters...

Nitto website says dual spring crack off is 120psi... Single spring crack off is 75psi??

Should I do the single spring to give me the 75psi if this is max?

Hello all.

I've searched but havent found the answer I'm looking for....

My motor is a Stock S2 RB25DET, standard bottom end and oil pump. But has Tomei Poncams and Hi flow OP6 turbo.

Its only street driven but with occasional drags.

What restrictors should I fit.

SK has said Leave VCT, block center and 1.5mm for rear.

From my searching I have found that the standard RB25DET restrictors are already 1.5mm. So all I need to do is block the center one?

Or is there no point in even removing the head to just to block off one restrictor with a stock motor?

Cheers

I am getting a bit of oil through my cooler piping etc as its running the stock breather hoses off the rocker covers.

Will look at a catch can.

Btw motor is out of the car at the moment, hence why I'm thinking of pulling the head to do the restrictors...

Hi everyone my name is stef..I hope someone can offer me some advice as I have read this hole thread from start to finish!

I'm in the middle of a forged rb25det build with an n1 oil pump.. After reading this thread I have come to the conclusion that I need to leave the vvt, block the middle and restrict the rear to 1.5mm. Now upon stripping the engine which I believe has been untouched I have found that all three restrictor a are 1.2mm which has now confused me lol..should I still block the middle supply and drill the rear out to 1.5mm? Thanks for any help

Regards

Stef

Yeah I just got the head off mine this week. The front vct is 1.5mm and the other 2 are 1.2mm

Motor is a S2 RB25DET from a 95 R33.

So should I just put in 2x 1mm?

Depends on what pump you are using. I have an N1 pump RB30 block S2 head and I'm successfully using 2 x 1mm restrictors (street. track and to come - drags).

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • 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
