Work out the % of increased flow in your oil pump over standard and reduce the restrictor size by the same amount if not slightly more if you rev it.

There is a fluid flow vs pressure vs hole diameter formula you will need. Plenty of online support.

Thicker oil will reduce flow.

Another patch is a scavenger pump from head to sump. Works fine. Plenty of OEM cars use this method. VDO do a specific pump.

Other than that. Don't run your breather to vac. Go atmo if you have a MAP sensor. Vac encourages the oil to stay in the head. Provent do a catch can that regulates pressure to keep less of a differential from head to sump encouraging flow back down.

& I've read heaps of pages & couldn't find anything

The answers are all in the thread. If you get it wrong you could blow your engine. I could spell out what to do but your next question could (and should be) "why?". .. and then I would have to re-type miles of stuff that I and others have already contributed. You need not only to know what to do but to know why you are doing it so that you are happy with your decisions. Probably the last third of the thread should give you the picture and in fact there is a summary of the important points towards the end somewhere. I suspect that you are too lazy to read it properly but if you genuinely have a comprehension problem (difficulty understanding what you have read) I apologise. In that case send me a PM and I will PM you some info.

Can someone confirm my setup, fairly sure im on track but good to get feed back.

Goes like this

I have both inlet and exhaust rocker covers venting to a 3 port catch can. The third port is routed to the turbo intake so it will be under vacuum. I have retained the line from inlet manifold to pcv to inlet rocker. So whilst motor is under vacuum its pulling air out of rockers through the intake manifold. When its under boost PCV shuts and pulls air through the turbo :)

Its a neo motor so oil restrictors should already be in check.

Cheers

regarding picture, line to turbo is not hooked up and i realise thats heater hose lol was just dummy fitting

Sounds like how I have mine setup and I have no issues

Hey guys

My setup is:

Both cam covers going to catch can with -10 lines

Blocked PCV

Catch can vents to atmo

Has other usual oil mods like reimax gears, oil restrictor (think 1.1mm) mines cam cover baffles, oil cooler etc

Now my catch can has another -10 thread welded onto it that has a rubber cap over it and not in use, should I run this somewhere?

I hear people run a seperate line from can to dipstick when giving the car a thrashin?

Does that just basically act as a breather and helps oil flow back down the head?

Is 2 lines from the sump to the catch can really needed? Surely the one drain line won't be full of oil all the time and would act as a vent?

Edit:

Also looking at this can unless someone can recommend a better can?

Will it fit your car? Looks good but don't you know a local fabricator who could make you one for about half the price?

I had my first track day with my RB20 last friday.

My catch can is fairly simple : there is only two line going from the two rocker cover to the empty catch can which is vented to atmosphere.

Wrecker RB20 with stock internal, highflow turbo, 12psi/0.8b, 444cc injectors, Z32 AFM on standard S13 airbox with a cold feed, FMIC, FFP, STD RB26 oil pump RB25 filter support modded to accept a CA18 oil to water cooler and a 19 row oil cooler.

Standard clutch fan and 2 row 32mm copper radiator.

I run 5w30 valvoline synpower oil.

The weather was ideal, it was a sunny day with 20~25°C.

The catch can didn't spill any drop of oil, no overheating and I stopped trashing the engine when the oil passed 120°C.

I could run for 15 min (~8/9 lap) or so before stopping because of oil temperature.

I could run the engine 100% per cent during the session with plenty 8000 rpm shifting without dramas.

My main problem was the power steering reservoir which was spilling fluid way to close to the turbo. Time to install a cooler on the power steering circuit.

I just bought the R33/34 one from them for near double that ( but my one has the washer bottle as part of it ) and worth it for the non hassle off designing and fabracating, they are also not just an empty can they are baffled with SS gauze to actually catch the oil vapours :thumbsup:

I have a AN-12 running from factory oil return on RB30 to the bung I between the two 26 manifolds and a AN-16 running from block to Walsh/frost plug at rest of head on hot side

I have a AN-12 running from cold side of block to oil cap and one as a return from front catch can with one way valve

A catch can that sits on engine attached to the two cam cover breathers which I put a baffle plate into the two AN-12 line from that to the Hi Octane catch can up front then two AN-12 lines one back to the PCV and the other to the inlet of rear turbo

The block returns where drilled to 9mm and head to 10mm and the back returns die ground smooth

Will know if it works on the 22nd of September :D

Sorry my profile needed updating.. Car is a 32gtr.

I have emailed Hi Octane and asked if they could put in another -10 outlet while its being made.

Cheers

I got the return changed to -12 and an extra -12 up top for an extra $20, they where very happy to do what I wanted

Hmm I got quoted $30 for an extra -10 up the top.

Oh well as long as it works :D

I went in there in person and turned out I knew one of them so maybe that got me a $10 discount lol

I had a look inside mine with the flexi camera and it should work well :thumbsup:

PS they have a kickarse collection of 80s BMX race bikes :yes:

Ah ok. I was happy with the $30 anyway. Plus free postage so all good :D

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
