Hi all, i dont have my RB20 running yet but i have had it cranking over for a good few minutes and it just wont pick up oil pressure, should i wait to see if it will pick it up once i finally get it started or be pulling it down now?

hi mate. take the oil filter off. then pour new oil down the outer ring of the oil pump housing and slowly turn the crank anti clockwise. is the motor a fresh rebuild?. if yes did you a prime the pump with oil first when it was upside down with the sump off?. it will never pick up if you have not primed the oil pump,, first rule of engine rebuilding..

Hi, thanks all who replied, the motor is not rebuilt. it has just been sitting around for a long time, on its side, upside down, who knows!

I have removed the plugs and have a fresh battery, it is cranking over fast. Had i rebuilt the motor or re-newed the oil pump i whould have filled it with vaso. but that is not the case.

I will try to pour some oil back through that hole to the pump.

Thanks again

SORTED.

I jacked the rear of the vehicle up to a very steep angle, and fed a small pipe into the block where the oil filter bolts on. i funneled 2 cups of oil in, then refitted the filter.

Now i have 30psi while cranking

Thanks guys

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
