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).

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
