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.

    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
    • Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
