Russman (WTAC 2013) was having oil issues when braking. RacePace baffled sump wasnt enough, so went Accusump and it sorted the issue (for time attack purposes anyway).

I'm using a couple of those cyclone things inside my catch can as a vapour recovery system. seem to work well.

Im using plastic OEM BMW ones from a BMW V8 X5 engine..  alternatively, there are ones from an M5 S62 V8 engine,part number is 11151406788 but they're MUCH more expensive for a little plastic thing (///M Car Tax)

cheap from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Oil-Separator-Crankcase-Ventilation-Valve-for-E52-E53-X5-Z8-4-4i-4-6is-Alpina-11151705237/32695549568.html

I assume fitting an accusump would mean fitting it to the sump, so would therefore be an engine out job to fit. 

How would a setup like this work?

Cam baffle plates
oil/air separator
catch can, with vent to atmo and a drain/vent for the sump, through the dipstick? like this one

Nope dip stick won't do it. Read the thread (the last half should do you).

Yeah i have read from about page 50 onwards and understand what I am proposing isn't the best setup, however i dont plan on pulling the engine just to fit oil restrictors and sump vents. When I eventually do pull the engine, it will be for more than just oil control mods.  Extended and baffled sump, proper catch can setup etc will be done then.

For now however, I just want to setup something basic, that along with overfilling sump, limiting revs and limiting consecutive hot laps at the track, can prolong the engines life as much as possible.

So dipstick just a waste of time?

No,  just sub-optimal but probably better than nothing. And I presume you are overfilling the sump by up to a litre (to guard against oil starvation).

Hello all from Finland! 

First of all an awesome thread! I've read the whole thing and couldn't find an answer to my problem. I'm building rb30/25 with s1 head and going to use the rb25 oil pan aswell. I have a set of universal tomei baffle plates with trap doors. How should I fit them to get the most out of them? Gonna aim for ~500hp (refreshed/balanced stock bottom) and going to use the car (r33) mostly on street with an occasional drag/track day. I've been thinking about this kind of setup:

- 25 row oil cooler with mocal thermostatic plate (an10 lines)

-rb25 oil pump with reimax gears, external vct feed

- an12 valve cover breathers to a atmo vented catch can.

- two an10 (or an12) sized oil pan lines to a different atmo vented catch can (one line top of can, other to the bottom). Fitted to sump as high as possible to the inlet side.

 

Now I was told as the car is mostly a streeter I dont really need an extended oil pan. So I was wondering what would be the best way to install the baffle plates for little extra peace of mind? 

Dont think I can fit all 4 of them to the stock pan so how would using 2 work out? Do you think something like this would help keeping oil at pickup?

Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks

Never seen one of those kits. I got an RB26 kit to fit to my Stagea and it was pretty straightforward. If that is a so-called universal kit there could well be some spare parts you can't use. Fit them as best you can and slosh some water around to see what it does.

Fixed the hotlink. Stupid phone messed it up. If anyone has any ideas on how to do these baffles it'd be greatly appreciated.

Or perhaps pics or something about how people have done baffles on rb25det? Havent been able to find any really. 

Thanks

I got custom baffles and trapdoors done on my RB30 sump. I will find my pics and get back to you mate.

FYI. If I remember correctly you can't use the 25 sump on the RB30 as it fouls. You need an RB30 sump.

Fouls, really? Damn. I was told my pan would work and havent actually measured it, damn. Havent really seen any writings on the interwebs of it fouling either, guess I have some measuring to do.

If you could get some pics that's be amazing! Thanks mate! :)

So i hesitated to post due to no backed up facts but anyway I just did a compression test and these were the numbers. Stock motor.

P1 - 200
P2 - 200
P3 - 200
P4 - 190
P5 - 220
P6 - 190

And I'm still filling up my catch can easily. .. can i conclude that its just too much oil to the head? Initially i was worried it was due to piston rings ... any thoughts on this? But I'm sure glad the numbers were ok...

P6 is 150 and not 190...

220 psi is a seriously high number, representing more compression ratio than you are supposed to have.  Therefore rings must be wet.  This shouldn't really have anything to do with too much oil in the head.  It's oil in the cylinder here that would be the issue.

 

I call shenanigans on the accuracy of the comp guage.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
