thanks Craved, is the other whole the VCT return and if so do i have to block it aswell and plumb a return in?

I will not be usibf VCT now and never will so i am looking for the simplest solution.

I think you have to put a grub screw or weld the oil return as it doesn't line up with rb30 block and then you have the external oil return plumbing back to the turbo oil return line.

I haven't found a suitable head yet but you can check this with a head gasket if you've got one. If the oil return on the head and the block lines up with the hole in gasket just leave it unplugged, if hole in the gasket doesn't line up with with block assuming you're using an rb25 gasket you'll have to block it.

Thanks BAMR33.

I have pretty much got it worked out. that photo shows turbo oil and water return and also another return from the front of the head that is tee'd into the turbo oil drain. but from what I can see no VCT :)

I have drilled and tapped the VCT feed to M8. and will be putting a grub screw in there. I have also drilled and tapped a new supply point in the VCT gallery on the front of the head about 50mm higher that it has been blocked off. I just need to get a few fittings and it will all be sorted.

I havent got my gaskets yet. but will take a lot of photos of the build for others.

I think an Apology is in order for Gary (Sydneykid). :thumbsup:

I doubted his suggestion that a 1.5mm restrictor up front and rear blocked off was perfecty fine for the R32 RB25DE head with no VCT.

So I went and did it anyway :) and it is 11ty billion percent fine.

Plenty of oil up top; top ends nice and quiet; no tapping when it comes off a rev; its all good. :D

So my apologies Buddy! :)

I do know of a RB30DET that ran with 2 x 1.1mm restrictors and that had the lifters tapping a tad after a high rev pull.

Not sure the flow dynamics of it all BUT is it possible the 2 x 1.1mm restrictors results in less oil pressure up top than a single 1.5mm?

Im running 2 x 0.75mm restrictors, but do have solid lifters in the NEO head.

Here are a few pics of the dummy assembly of my 26/30, have the follwing mods.

Pressure is a measure of restriction, not flow. It is a function of flow though.

Maybe it was just a bit loose up top....

And SK does now his stuff :thumbsup:

So saying that would it be possible for the larger 1.5mm to flow more of that 'thick' oil than 2 smaller 1.1's?

Imagine a thick gel pushing through 2 1.1mm holes, it may not flow through at all; then a single 2mm hole it may. If that makes sense. :S

In a way similiar as to selecting the correct viscosity oil for a given bearing clearance.

Gut feeling says no. Maybe its bottom end was on its way out as 6months later it did spin a bearing.

------

I should also say its getting NO blowby. Absolutely nothing and there's noticably more oil sitting in the sump with the motor running.

Prior with it idling around the oil level would suck to the Low mark. Now it sits 3/4 up. :thumbsup:

It should flow more through the 1.5 even though the 1.1s have a slightly larger cross sectional area, due to the surface roughness equations and the interaction of the sharp edge orifice/turbulent layer effect, but then there are journal clearances to consider. It's never exact.

If the bottom end was on its way out then likely the head rattling was an indication of lack of flow. It is a closely balanced equation for the distribution of flow and so tolerances need to be carefully guaged and the correct bearings ordered. The one area though that can end up with too much flow is the head so we restrict flow with the smaller restrictor.

That's why I would never recommend running in an RB30 on a standard ECU, the richness will stop the rings bedding in properly and in extreme cases lead to glazed bores. The retarded ignition results in incomplete combustion which fouls up everything from plugs to cats.

:P cheers :D

And indeed the cat light did come on once for about 3 seconds at the top of a long hill last time I drove it - and before seeing Sydneykid's posts. Haven't dropped the pipe yet to have a look at the cat, does anyone know for sure if I should expect dead / highly degraded / clogged cat? Of course if it's obviously shagged I'll get a new one but I've never shagged a cat before (go on laugh) so not sure if the temporary overheat would be catastrophic, would prefer to avoid the cost of a new one.

And I've loaned a PFC, dyno on Wed morning to sort this out.

Cheers

can i get some opinion of people's 2nd choice of pistons (apart from CP 9:1) for an rb25/30??

car will only run about 1bar of boost

im undecided but thinking about these Arias

p/n= AP332104

10.6cc dome top

21mm pin

1.280" compression height

Only stocked in 0.20 thou oversize (86.5mm).

COMPRESSION RATIO 9.2-9.4

I had no issues with Arias. Nice and quiet, did what they had to do.

Decent CR so you don't have to substitute with boost so great off boost response and can stick to a smaller turbo. Works for me.

so...

checked plugs, no signs of over being rich

PFC tune yielded

264 rwkw @ 7000 (up from peak 220 @ 6500)

10psi

AFRs below 12 on boost

Inj Duty 71

much nicer to drive - as crisp and responsive as normal. :)

now for the run in...

Hi guys.. My car is auto and i'm wanting to see 500rwhp...

1. After talking to my turbo guy he has me in two minds as to which turbo to use. I was happy to use the Garrett GT35R with the 0.86 rear but after talking to him today he has said he would reccommend the 1.06 rear as it will suit my 5000rpm stall converter. What would you use ??

2. I have the RB30e series 2 block (with the turbo fittings) and a R34 GTR head (20,000km). I havent seen mentioned weather this head is different to the R32/33 GTR heads. I have no experience with the specs of these cars and all i can find is they run different cams/valves. Do i just treat the R34 head as if it was an earlier model when building the motor ???

3. Please forgive me as the last cam I replaced was a Holden 308. I would like the "lumpy" "angry" idle as heard on some GTR's, what cams would you suggest for the R34 head or would you just get adj camgears ?? Not really willing to rev past 7500rpm if i don't have to.

Thanks for your feedback :huh:

Cheers

Steve

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
