Got to get block, have a machine, pay for workshop to ahve machine in, pay for consumables for machine (drills etc), pay for someone to mount up block to machine, pay for someone to oparate it for drilling.
That's where the costs come from

What about what size oil restrictors for non neo 25 head with NO vct? It's not on the chart?

Its the middle column - RB25/20 no VVT

 

Hey guys I'm doing my first rb25 build, rb25det head and block. I've been reading this thread for hours, super helpful. I understand with an rb25det vct head I leave the vct oil feed alone, block the middle and restrict the third. Okay now my question is I plan on going from hydraulic to solid lifters, so then do I restrict the front vct oil feed, block the middle and rear or what? i know the rb26 is solid lifters and the rear oil feed is blocked from factory, so the chart states restrict front oil feed and block rear. And do solid lifters rid of the vct? I'm a little lost there.

Rather than the stainless steel wool packed into a stocking has anyone tried sintered brass exhaust silencers (As seen on ebay and the like) to filter the oil.

I noticed that Mishimoto appear to use exactly that.

Would be neater, surely?

Just gave my secret away. They work damn well...just use the biggest bastard/s you can squeeze in

Hey guys I've had a good read of the last 10-15 pages but here goes.

ive got a rb25/30neo, it's a built motor with all the usual forged bits and pieces. 

Oil wise it has an ASR 8.5L sump, n1 pump with billet gears, all drains in the head were enlarged and cleaned up. From memory front oil feed is blocked and 1.2mm restrictor in the rear. Stock rb26 cam covers with 2 3/4 hoses to a small vented can..

Never had any issues with blow bye or anything on 20-25 psi street-drag or dyno.

Just recently fitted a water meth injection kit and running around 30psi, all good on dyno and street but at the drags it started pushing oil out the breathers (about 400ml each run).

Have done a comp test and leak down test and all looks good. 

I really don't want to have to pull the sump off. I have thought about pulling the head off and fitting a rear vent and tee'ing into the turbo drain (spool sells this kit). 

Just looking for some other opinions 

cheers

I don't believe that will do anything but if you are hell bent on it go ahead and report back.

A cheaper option would be to put another 400ml in each run. You can decide whether to recycle what comes out or not.

The real fix is a couple of 1/2 in sump breathers with one draining back to the sump.

And ideally you have a 2L catch can properly baffled and vented to the turbo intake.

I have mine like this. If I had to do it all again, I would probably do a separate drain port into the sump but I can't really be bothered now. Probably doesn't do much but its there

Thanks mate, So don't worry about the head vent. And ideally the sump breathers to catch can are the go (which means engine out).

I was going to go a bigger catch can anyway.

If i was to tee into the turbo drain with a -10 or-12 and run that to top of a catch can would be of any help? 

Decided I'll pull the motor out and fit the sump breathers and drain back etc and a couple other things. While it's out is it worthwhile just to do the head vent/drain whatever you want to call it as well l. Or it's absolutely not needed and save the $200?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
