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.

getto as f**k but works a treat

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.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
