urgent help needed pls guys!

my 30 blocks all finished and prepped and i should be recieving a call sometime tomorow when my vvt 33 heads ready to be picked up after welding the vvt feed and slight mod to water gallery to suit the 30block. however while my heads there i thought i may aswell get the head specialist to tap the vvt oil feed in the head.

MY PROBLEM, i dont know excatly where to tell him to do it. can someone PLEASE provide me with some detailed pics both close up and from a distance aswell as some measurments of location so i can get this done. also some info on the sizes adaptor and fitting etc.

ANOTHER issue i have is once oil is supplied to the vvt via the extrenal feed does it need to drain off anywhere?? if so where and how??

ideally i need this info tonight so i can pass the info on tomoro.

i have attached pics of the vvt oil feed i have but cant make it out i need more pics/info.

HELP ME PLS!

the rb25 vct head has a drain on the exhaust side that it uses for the extra oil fed in.

use a 1/8th fitting

pic of where it is normally put

remember to setup the additional oil drain ont he exhaust side in the sump for this head return.

all pics were taken from this thread btw

thanx for info/pics of feed into vvt, i think ill be able to sort that out now.

however i dont completely understand the vvt oil drain part. can you explain it in rb30det for dummies language/pics.

"remember to setup the additional oil drain ont he exhaust side in the sump for this head return"

so do i tap into the head again for teh drain (where do i do this) ?? and run this into the sump somewhere.

rb25det head already has an oil drain about 15-20mm forward from the exhaust port for cylinder 1.

you need to run the drain line off that flange down and into the sump, so you need a fitting on the sump to accept this line

as you can see in the picture below, it is the gold line infront (left) of the exhaust shield.

GOT HIM!

thanx a lot dude for your help i think youve answered all my questions.

would it be possible to use speedflow fittings and a brainded oil line on the intake side for the vvt feed instead of that one pictured in teh above pics??? what im tryna say is is there a reason for using that piece of tube for teh feed??

nope, can run either the solid tube or braided lines.

use speedflow if you have the cash, if not std gas type fittings that are used in the pics

that isnt my setup above, i think personally from what i have read, that a seperate return that is seperate from the turbo oil drain is a wise idea due to the amount of frothy oil that comes down out of the turbo, but its all up to you

hmm thats something to think about.. use same return as turbo or tap a new one into the sump?? has teh pros and cons to both set ups been covered over the thousand pages lol?? if not please inform me briefly.

also HEAD STUDS.

ill be using aftermarket head studs probably arp, however which ones do i buy??? rb30, rb25, ive heard that your meant to use 26 ones.

which stud is the correct one to use??

Only $360 for the ARP ones :happy:

30 block needs to be tapped n drilled, 25 head needs drilling to fit the thicker studs.

Not a cheap exercise.

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/product_info....roducts_id=3415

$449 bucks for rb26

http://www.tweakit.net/shop/index.php?cPath=57_51_657

$275 for rb25

hold on a minute, are you saying the arp head studs are not a direct fit into the rb30det which uses rb25 head??
no to use rb26 head studs on a 25 head u need to drill the block/head to suit

rb20/25/30 are all the same type 12mm and 26 are 13mm from memory

you just need to source 25 ones :wub:

think the rb25 and rb30 are 11mm - rb26 is 12mm and chev rods are 1/2 inch

Stock RB26 head studs are only $10 ea so $140 a set from Nissan.

Sorry to be going so fast. I NEED to drive this home to Brisbane Saturday, or mostly to get out of Victoria. :happy:

All slow now. Fabricating the stuff to make it fit like induction and throttle cable mount and injector loom. Still to mount oil cooler and need more silicone hose and clamps.

RB25 and 26 have the same TPS plug and Bosch injector plugs (RB30) are $7 at Bursons and a straight fit for 26 injectors. Wired 10ohm 15W resistors in line with the injector loom to match the impedance of the RB25 injectors.

Yes R33Racer I agree , RB25DET/inlet has limits . I wondered for a while if there's any value in using an R34 25DET head on a decent RB25 or 30DET because it gets you into a mechanical valve train though I'm not sure if RB26 cams (aftermarket) interchange . SK tells me that porting wise the 26 is different and impossible to emulate without fabrication . The big issue is that the marketing geniuses at Nissan made very sure they would piss EVERYONE off by not making the manifold patterns common on all DOHC RB heads . To get a mechanical train its R34 25 or RB26 . To get the gun inlet system its only RB26 and then its aftermarket for a single turbo exhaust manifold . You don't really have any choise , if the hydraulic lifters don't limit you the inlet system will . Its a hateful situation but the answer is to bite the bullet or get painted into a corner . Its not all bad though , someone out there should have a use for your RB25 top end .

Cheers A .

yeh id hope so...but we gotta get this new motor making some power first before we even think of doing anything else. Dyno tomorrow arvo for power run to see if we fixed the problem of no power!

But i should start looking around for a busted rb26 or atleast a complete 26 head.

RB26 cams are a direct fit into the R34 head ( after setting the shims etc ) - I am using HKS 272 / 9.35mm cams in mine.

Performance springs make spring and retainer kits for the NEO now also. Also the intake manifold stud pattern on the R33 and R34 are the same as Im using std R33 runners with the CPC plenum - just thought Id mention that.

    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
