not too sure mate.

std rb25det hardware is good for 200ish kw. im not sure what the std n/a stuff is good for, or even if its different for that matter.

better off grabbing a bosch 040 and as far as i know, s15 injectors are a straight-swap upgrade.

on the side of ur engine u have a oil return line from a step down at the fron of the rocket cover down the the bottom of i the engine... i T peice my turbo's oil return line in there... would this be why ther oil is coming up and spurting out? im saying would the oil+pressure from the turbo's oil return go back up through the oil return from the head and therefore come out my airfilter?

i would not have done your turbo's return line like this.

oil that has passed througha turbo is frothy ..and needs a large space to flow back into the sump easily..

the block should have had the fitting for the return in it already, if not you should have welded/brazed a fitting onto the side of the sump.

havea restriction can cause excess oil to get into the head if its causing a blockage in that vct oil return on the front of the head..

that said you still have the 2 returns at the back of the head/block for oil to return to the sump.

compression test will show you if your rings are sealing.

if they arent, then the compressed air from the combustion chamber, pressurises the block and head ... and comes out where your little blue filter is..

hence excess oil coming out there

You wanna stop the oil coming out of the filter?

Get rid of the filter and use the correct hosing. Its pretty simple.

I would be getting a leak-down test before anything else.

You shouldnt have a filter like that there anyway. Fire hazard if i've ever seen one, most certainly not a performance modifications... its under the "ricer" heading though :(

Im with 3lit3_32 on this one without a doubt.

I had about 300mills of oil squirt all over my extractors once and it did not catch fire.

But it left the biggest cloud of smoke behind me it was not funny.

Since then ive installed oil restrictors in the block and fixed the problem ;)

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
