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.

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
