Hello all,

I'm currently building my rb25, into a 26/27- 87mm bore, 26 crank, 1.1 mm Cosworth HG so forth. I plan to track her a few times a year at some local courses. I'm planning on either using the JUN or N1 pump, not sure yet. However I also plan to run an oil cooler. Now the question arises on what to do for my stock rb25 sump for baffling, I'm a little unsure on how you guys do them, I have access to weld in pieces/trap doors to keep the oil around the pickup, but would just like to make sure I'll be doing more good than harm.

any pics, or info would be appreciated. I've seen a ton of info on baffling for the 26 sump, just not really any for the 25?

thanks,

-Cory

Hi guys, Performance Metalcraft do a good sump, wings baffles and one way doors. Works a charm. :)

PS; I have had oil surge in an RB26, RB20 and RB30 so I see no reason why an RB25 would be any different

They are about $500

given right oil restriction mods etc as part of the build... you might not need anything at all.

Surge comes from the oil in the head, and the sumps are a band-aid fix to this.

How much power and so on are you looking at?

330rwkw GTR's here run aroudn with stock sumps, semi comps and never have issues.

Looking towards 400-450rwhp ish, depends what my 35r can toss out on pump gas, I see most people fill their oil up to the first hump on the dipstick as well. My block is fitted with dual restritors.

CS_180 I know this has been covered before, I've read numerous topics and tons of pages about it. However I have found little info on whats done to the 25 pan, people say wings and baffles, ok I understand what they do, but its the placement I am unsure of, I'd like to make sure I'm helping my pick up not hurting it.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
