Hey guys.

I have built an RB30/26 Head.

MODS

rb30 series 2 block

rb26 head (fully reco)

PAR rods

Aries Pistons

All ARP bolts

ACL Racing Bearings

Race preped crank

High Energy 8.5Lt sump

Knock Sensors Moved higher on the block

Nismo Twin Plate

After Market Smaller Balencer

870cc Injectors

Jun Oil pump

Jun Drive Collar

External Oil return (back of head to sump)

Thickest Cometic metal head gasket (recommened by rocket to use with the aries pistons??)

High mount manafold

Garret GT3071R

Surge tank with 044

After market fuel rail

After market pressure reg

Link G2 ecu (with air inlet temp sensor)

I think thats everything

Ok heres my problem

The engine has been having oiling issues since it was built. we first installed a tomie oil kit into the block with no luck. It still poored oil into the catch can at mid to high rpm. We then pulled the head off and blocked off the rear oil feed. Seamed to work better but still puts oil into the catch can. Part of the issue is that when hot the oil pressure sits at around 25-35psi at idle but any touch of the rpm and it jumps to 100psi.

Does anyone have any sugestions? I was thinking of some how turning the pump pressure down??? is this easy to do? if so how?

Just as a side note the engine made 230Rwkw and 560Nm torque on 13psi

Also anyone got any sugestions on a new turbo? cant be to lagy

have you looked at our oil controll thread by Sydney Kid ?

Did you run a oil return line from the back of the head to the sump?

did you make the oil return holes bigger to the sump ?

did you change the baffles and go for some after market ones?

Im hoping you forgot to put the crank collar in your list of mods, or youll be looking at more than a sump off job soon. Do you know what bearing clearances you are running, tight clearances increase oil pressure.

hi mate,to drop pressure in an oil pump you need either a weaker relief spring or the same tension spring but shorter in length.. the sump must be removed then you can see the oil pump relief nut, undo that and a spring and plunger fall out. then its a new spring and away you go.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
