Correct. Not sure if it would be adequate, but its certainly better then nothing. No solid stream of oil should go up it as its sitting at the base of the sump rails which is well above oil level.

I've tried all of these combo's. Only way to fix this properly is to reduce the block to head restrictor size. .9mm was perfect for my reinmax oil pump on my rb32/26 I've also done the hi octane back of head to sump drain, which is useless. You can make it work though by using a Hobbs switch activated scavenger pump to force the oil back to the sump. The VDO pump does the job.

i have spent ages reading this thread... i was just looking to see just howmuch is to much blowby

i have a forged stagea rb25 botom end with a rb26 head... making 600hp atw with e85

i have had problems with my machining and the cylinder to bore clearance is too big... near 5 tho.... long story but yer the rings arent sealing properly and im getting blowby

oil system is hks rwd sump 10L, Jun oil pump, Jun Drive Collar,mines cam cover baffles, drilled oil returns and 1.2mm tomei restrictor in head and the other 2 blocked off

-12 breathers to 5L catch can with foam baffeling and a VDO scavenge pump off the catch can.

I recently tryed fitting a -10 line from the VCT drain bung to the catch can to try and vent some of the crank case pressure but it did not help..

I only have one small kn filter on the catch can (-12 size) could this not be helping... should i have more breathers..

I would start with a leak down test to see just how much each cylinder is / is not sealing and go from there.

Oil setup seems fairly good though. So its filling the catch can with oil?

Blowby is too much when you blow the dipstick out and/or you have oil shooting out of the top of the engine. Have you done a compression test and/or leakdown test? If they are miles out you need to rebuild the motor. To alleviate the symptoms you should have picked up from your reading of particularly the latter section of the thread that your restrictor is too big and that the best way to relieve crankcase pressure is with a vent as high as possible in the inlet side of the sump - preferably going to a catch can. I have two x 20mm hoses from the sump in my RB30 - one to the top of the catch can and the other to the bottom (acts as a return for when oil is blown out). My catch can doesn't have a breather filter it has a large hose going to the air intake.

The problem usually only happens after long bursts at WOT (so on the track).

  • Like 1

yer its a drift car so all it sees is mashed pedal... it may be my catch can design... its my own

Next step is to install a rear head equalizer and sump vents soo motor out for the 3rd time...

At what thou piston to bore clearance with an rb26 does it start to be a problem with blowby if using high silicone content jap pistons ie hks tomei ect?

  • 4 weeks later...

wondering if oil temps will rise if the oil breathers are somewhat restricted?

i've removed the baffle on the rb20 covers, added steel wool wrapped in fine alloy mesh, installed baffle and resealed

Edited by Dan_J

not sure if its been mentioned but where can i buy these restrictors. looking for a blank off one (can make this easy enough i spose) but need a 1 or 1.1mm for my rb25 can only find tomei 1.5 mm. thanks

From me - (possibly elsewhere)- have blank, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.5

I usually just use a m8 grubscrew and drill whatever hole size I want in it in the lathe and then drill and tap the two feed holes to suit. But if you don't have the equipment then its probably cheaper to use premade restrictors from KiwiRS4T.

just seeing if anyone has done this( for rb26's with decent blow by)

I have a weldon external oil pump(same as this)

I will still run my current twin catch can arrangement

Plumb a extra dash 10 in at the bottom of my fake nismo catch can

Have the haltech switch the pump on when the car revs over 5k ( eg when the engine having problems draining oil due to the blow by)

And the pump returns it to the sump

Just seeing what everone thinks first

Added bonus would be not having to empty my catch can setup after every session and I can use the full capability ( full rev range) of the engine

I have been looking into similar options because it is a pain in the ass every session draining the oil from the catch can... Was looking at the VDO pumps but didn't like them because hose end fittings, those ones look much better... Interesting

I have one of these I may be able to sell to someone, http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Rear-Mount-Turbo-Oil-Gear-Pump-12v-Heavy-Duty-12-volt-Scavenge-Replace-STS/150768513335?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D163%26meid%3D9084653915329580858%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D3%26sd%3D111037307067%26

It is a little noisy for the rear mount application I am using it with, it would be great for quickly emptying the catch can though. You can easily get BSP to dash fittings for it.

I am going with the VDO instead. Hopefully quieter for the street.

Also, question regarding pumps like this... Says it pumps 1-2 gallons per minute, realistically I need mine to pump about 300ml per minute so how do they run if they are getting starved or low flow while running?

Does it chew them out or are they happy with being lubed by the engine oil?

As long as there is a breather, or the ability to suck air through the pump without building vacuum it will be fine. Gear pumps are very reliable as long as they are lubricated.

Yea thus why I was thinking tell the haltech to only turn the pump on when the sensors read greater than 5k rpm and 15 psi as that's when the issue is there

Can get Vipec to do the same, I think my revs are always above 5000rpm during a lap, the boost as a condition is a good idea as well

I have fixed the spewing oil everywhere problem on my RB30/25 and based on my experience this is what I would do on an RB26:

Fit 1.0mm oil restrictor. Drill out oil returns to 10mm and relieve all oil returns. Fit Mines baffle kits to cam covers.

Install 2 fittings to sump as high as possible run one hose to the top (this is a pressure relief - may also blow some oil) of an at least 2L catch can and the other to the bottom (as a drain). Also vent your cam covers to this catch can (should be very little comes out of them). Then instead of a filter on top of the catch can run a pipe to either another catch can or an oil/air separator and what comes out of that should be fine to pipe into the turbo intake - or if you prefer to a couple of LARGE airfilters. This should deal to your problems (don't bother with fitting on back of head). The second catch can will need to be emptied but not very often.

Also (not directly related) minimum baffle kit for sump - better large capacity sump - better still accusump.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • 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.
