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

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
