Comparing my old Rb20DET pump and the RB25DET pump I run on mine the RB25DET pump had the same amount of lumps but the gear was thicker so it would flow more.

My Rb30 block cam with 2 x 1.8mm restrictors.

I believe the Rb25DET's run 2 x 1.5mm restrictors and the RB26 1 x 2mm restrictor.

I'd stick with 1.5 its safe.

Have you thrown a crank collar on to it so you can rev it a little harder without the worry?

I noticed mine runs a little more pressure up over 3000rpm.

Yours I remember was a bee's dick over 4 on the stock guage where as mines up around 5 at 3000rpm.

4k and over mines sitting on 6.5-7. :S

A little high. :S

When cold with anything thicker than 5w40 it max's out the guage over 8. With 5w40 it sits smack on or just under depending how warm the weather is.

Its probably a sticky relief. :S

My old rb20det with its stock pump never say over a bee's dick over 4 when warm.

Joel, OK i will grab that restricor off you and throw it in. I havent used a crank collar as its still my stock RB30 bottom end and i wont be reving it heaps high due to stock rods, i wont get a collar till i built a forged bottom end, i got h beam rods just need some pistons.

What revs you reckon safe with std crank oil pump drive?

argg what rev's....

I really don't know as I haven't done a motor in 'yet' and to be honest there's no real solid proof of what rev's does what.

It probably eventuates from poor rebuilds. In your case thats not a problem as you know the motors solid.

Hows the condition of the current oil pumps gear drive? They tend to wear and flatten the metal.

A shade before 7.5k?

Thats quite a bit of rev's anyway, ~60km/h in first, ~105km/h in second and ~145-150km/h in third.

Shaun rev'd Antony's quite hard, well over 7k but it the valve springs hated it so the rev limit is set to 7.2k.

When/how do you want to grab this restrictor?

I finally got my engine going and tuned yesterday, made 382rwkw on only 17.5psi boost. Had issues with boost control, if i tried to boost it over 17 psi it would just go crazy and make 25+psi, tried a few different ways using top and bottom port on the wastegate, but had same problem each way. Im currently running a 10psi spring, i will try the 15psi spring i have.

Ill scan the graph and post up later.

holy moley...

Damn nice result Andrew. I bet that plasted a grin from ear to ear the first time you gave it a lot. :rofl:

So whats different to the old setup?

382rwkw on the gt35/40 .82? Shiet. :rofl: Quite an improvement over the stock inlet and exh. setup.

Did the restrictor make it to you in time to be fitted up?

Yeah, it takes off so much beter than the 2WD.

New setup is has Better cams, better plenum, better exhaust manifold. I hope to sort the boost out soon to run around 20psi and get a bit more out of it, need to build my bottom end now so i can rev the thing, power still going up at 7000rpm limiter.

Quite impressed with the result. Excellent.

Andrew.. Are you still running around with that 100mm china fmic?

I'm having a look at a gts4 4door this week. Appears really tidy. Most likely I will grab it as its a bargain. I plan on transfering the motor over and quite possibly selling off my head and throwing a gtr head on it. Simply due to bonnet clearance issues.

I'd prefer to have the gtr head with its plenum in the gts4 for the same cost as having an rb25 head with a 700-800 odd plenum.

My only concern was the exh. manifold.. Where did u get your head to manifold flange or did you cut it out yourself?

Probably biting off a little more than I can chew with regards to fabrication. :S

Joel- I made the drawing of the head flange and got a mate to profile cut it. Rb25 head with a side plenum would clear the bonnet better than GTR as the front timing gear cover is wider and fouls on the front corner, the rb25 cover isnt as wide.

How much $ you picking the 4 door up for?

Even the rb20/25 front timing gear cover still fouls with the bonnet. :huh: It requires choping to allow the bonnet to close.

The 4door.. Its interstate and he wants 8k. It is cheap and 100% dead stock. It sounds too good to be true, I'll soon find out. Laying a deposit down first thing monday under the condition that it is in the condition he says, then jumping on the plane with a cheap flight down there and lmao.. drive it back. :S

We'll see. Hopefully it all works out well.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
