This is how Gibson managed the blowby. I assume due to the small size of catch can, and the amount of boost they ran, they had it well sorted.

I would say the drained chamber over the rocker cover would be stuffed with steel wool or baffled. Not sure if the catch can is drained back to the sump, but it seems to have a breather to the sump.

dash 20 atmo vent (strait to the ground so people behind me can EADC)

getto as f**k but works a treat

  • Like 4

I've bought a rubber flappy thing that tomei makes, its their universal jobby.

On a 25 sump the passenger side doesn't allow for a vent abovethe windage tray, should I just cut it out and mount the tray lower down to allow for that?

The Gibson engine was dry sumped and scavenged from multiple points

No they weren't, grpA rules stated it had to be wet sump.

The photo of the Gibson engine bag shows only the separator, the other part of the catch can is where the battery in the R32 normally is.

Ok for years this even to this day has been a problem for me. Now im only on page 5 of this thread and intend on reading it all anyways. But I have a few points that I know about from reading here and on other nissan sites. The oil pump collar problem ive personally gotten over. The oil blowing out not so much. All my 25 suffer from this. I feel its the additional rpms I run like 8500rpms. And now im learning that these rb motors were ment for only 6k. Like what the hell. :angry:

Ok so ive done like 3 things out the list

1. I did the head drain

2. I did the restrictor in the block but now learning I shouldn't run 2 of them but should have blocked one out. (To late) dont mind pulling the head.

3. I did the collar.

FYI.All my 25's run N1 oil pumps.

Thats it. I have always looked at the head. The oil returns by the head bolts is what you gays are saying to drill out bigger and the same to the block.?? They seem big enough as is, as part of the washer covers a part of the hole already and if made bigger then what will the bolt/stud pull on? next is at the very back of the head there is 2 major oil drain its in the photo ill attach. What do I do to these. Just hone them out as big as I can go. ??

Last can some post photo if not already in the thread again please, as im only on page 5 at 15 pages a day is my goal:D

Now all of this said. Just a estimate here can an rb motor now do 10k all day with other issues and dont blow oil out. ????? This issue needs to be addressed.

With my rb26 build I regret now not doing the machining of the oil return ports I am running an oil accumulator and a racefab 9.5L sump cooler and a tomie oil pump 1.1 oil restrictor size.

Im so frustrated :wacko:at this. As im running a tomie oil pump as well,

And I will be spinning this motor at about 9k or more cause I dont care for it especially now. Well ill continue reading bye

That's why I suggested reading just the last 15 pages. Ideas have developed since that thread was started and oil drains at the back of the head are generally agreed to be a waste of time and proper sump venting to a catch can the way to go.

BTW RB26 and even RB30s can be made to spin to 10,000 rpm if you do it right.

Im at page 16. Well im not having this problem with my 26 as yet. But all my 25 are doing this. Ill read the last 15 pages then. I still want to read the whole thing though. Heres an idea. Just an idea though. See that other are open to menstion ideas. From the back of the head drain cant some kind of pump be added and controlled to come one at a predetermined rpm point. Using a rpm trigger switch. This pump will be inline and pump the extra oil from the head to the sump. Just an idea.

I track my built 26 regularly and always used to fill the catch can cos I'd rev the shit out of it.

Now I've learnt to keep it below 8K rpm and can do a whole day with out touching the can.

Motor is pretty basic, standard sump with Tomei baffle, N1 pump, oil restrictor & enlarged oil returns. Just wish I had of known about putting a sump breather in years ago when it was built.

I don't actually have a breather, I meant I wish I had one fitted. If you flick a couple of pages back on this thread there should be some images of peoples set-ups hence the reason for Bob recommending to read the last 15 pages.

I am as we speak. Just to work but im am reading it as time permits. What funny is someone mentioned venting the sump would let the oil drain easier. This I read in the first 16 pages. But at that time peopel weren't jumping on board. I will go back and reread that. So venting the sump will work. Hmmmm??? if this is the case I have to mod my setup. See I only have one oil return on my racefab sump and that goes to the rear head oil return. The front turbo drain is for the single gtx3582r. I can pull the sump out to do that so im thinking ill move the head drain to the second spot that was used for the rear turbo when it was stock. Then vent the sump.

What you guys feel about that. I drag racing this car and intend on spinning the motor to 9k on some days.

    • 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.
