I'm in the process of running in my fresh rb26 motor and seem to have a pressure problem. I have a new electric AutoMeter oil pressure gauge installed, and after start up, it idles at aprox 75lbs. of pressure....

When I drive around, it peggs the needle at 100lbs. (max reading). I'm sure the pressure is going higher than 100lbs.

Once warmed up to operating temp., the idle pressure settles at aprox 25lbs., but under boost, it stays at, or over 100lbs. I'm afraid this is to much, and I see oil coming out of my new Garrett 2540's comp housings....

Is this normal for the Jun pump to be that high of pressure? I have the Tomei oil restrictor installed in the block.

Thanks.... I guess its possible to adjust the pressure via the spring, correct?

pressure is caused by a restriction in flow...

u have put a restriction of flow in the head plus the jun oil pump flows more than standard.

i have a jun oil pump which runs around 8-8.5bar of pressure on cold start

What he is saying is...the Tomie oil restrictor is adding to the pressure you are experiencing.

easy except its an engine out and sump off job to get to it :)

my jun pump has over 100psi when revving when cold and around 80psi at idle. when warm its about 28psi at idle and 75-80psi at full revs, i have the restrictor in the head also.

i tto run the jun pump, an i have 100psi on cold start, with a tomei oil restrictor, when warm the idle presure drops to 28 psi and on full song its 80 psi. i have a restrictor fitted in my turbo feed line, but not sure if the T04Z comse with a restrictor fitted in the cartridge. have ask the experts on that. i run the stnd tension spring

Does my turbo require an oil restrictor?

Ball-bearing turbochargers can benefit from the addition of an oil restrictor, as most engines deliver more pressure than a ball bearing turbo requires. The benefit is seen in improved boost response due to less windage of oil in the bearing. In addition, lower oil flow further reduces the risk of oil leakage compared to journal-bearing turbochargers. Oil pressure entering a ball-bearing turbocharger needs to be between 40 psi and 45 psi at the maximum engine operating speed. For many common passenger vehicle engines, this generally translates into a restrictor with a minimum of 0.040" diameter orifice upstream of the oil inlet on the turbocharger center section. Again, it is imperative that the restrictor be sized according to the oil pressure characteristics of the engine to which the turbo is attached. Always verify that the appropriate oil pressure is reaching the turbo.

The use of an oil restrictor can (but not always) help ensure that you have the proper oil flow/pressure entering the turbocharger, as well as extract the maximum performance.

All new Garrett Turbo charges have a restrictor build in on the oil intake.

Adding one in the line does not make any difference(Just piece of mind) and does no harm to the turbo charger.

The problem that RB26zcar is having is high Oil pressure caused by incorrect research into re-build .

Some one has got it wrong when fitting these Tomie oil restrictors.

Blow by will be large when racing this car...you might need to add a larger sump extension and a larger than life oil coolerto increase the volume of oil..thus decrease pressure.

This will also help with continuos supply of oil to the head.

Top head pressure can also be decreased I believe by opening the oil restrictors closed on RB26 Heads.

I believe this topic has been discussed before(Oil flow)...do a search.

Do not run the car in its state......you have been advised incorrectly on the build.

Interesting thread, this is the first time I have heard of potential issues with the JUN pump run in conjunction with the Tomei restrictor.

I know a few people who are using JUN pumps and the main thing to remember is a big sump is a must IMHO

If the std turbo's restrictor were to see 100psi more oil would be flowing in to the turbocharger than if it were seeing less oil pressure caused by the addition of another restrictor further up the line.

Is my understanding of oil flow/restrictor wrong? It could be as I'm simply working of what sounds logical.

Humm... I would have thought my 8 ltr custom baffled pan would have been plenty of oil for a daily driver w/o track duty....

I find it kinda hard to "get it wrong" when it comes to installing a Tomei oil restrictor.

BTW, I'm asking for advice about the Jun pumps gauge preasure, on average, not how well you think I advised myself on my build... Thank You!

The whole aim of the Tomei restrictors is to reduce oil pressure in the head as it retains too much oil, opening it up would defeat the purpose of putting the restrictor in. I suggest you yourself do a search on oil control.

Maybe put a gauge on it that reads a bit higher to actually see how high it goes, Mcstocky is correct though, a softer spring in the releif valve will fix this. An oil cooler will make almost no difference.Do you know what the main and big end bearing clearances are? If they are too small, there will be higher oil pressures, but the bearings will cook, as the oil cant get out of them(hope not)

Did you replace the braided oil lines?(To turbo's)

And if so......did you go one size smaller?

Reason I posted up the previous remark was in concern for your motor.....I know what you were asking.

Hope I have helped.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
