I han't done a Neo head.. but I'm guessing that Nissan didn't stray too far from what they already know works.

Please take another pic, up close and front on, just like mine so everybody can see what your looking at.

Top work on the mod. Im about to embark on this procees, Where did u get the replacement plug, Did u press it back on or hammer

Thanks

I have had a look at the neo head and it has a bearing feed running off the head gallery and a seperate feed just for the vvt.

You wont be able to pull the plug out and drill it like the r33 head.

Im appears the vvt solenoid blocks the oil pressure when the vvt is off and when engaged, it pressurises the vvt solenoid. when disengaged the oil pressure bleeds back through the solenoid instead of the constant loss

just doing the conversion atm.. looking at drilling through the bucket gallery into the vct gallery between the first cam journal and first lifter bore then plugging the entry point back up.. anyone know what the original neo oil restrictor size is for the vct.. I only have a head thanks

Tried this mod whilst doing my rb30 conversion, worked great, was very simple and tidy

drilled out the oil returns in the head and ran a rear head oil drain kit but decided not to restrict or block the oil feeds in the block, but i seem to be losing a hell of a lot of oil still from the breathers. . . i was wondering if anyone has considered drilling out the 1.5mm oil in the brass plug to 2mm, in theory i would think the head would still have enough pressure to engage the vct but also drain more oil when the vct is off in the higher revv range

has anyone tried this? or think it may work?

Cheers

going to be doing this shortly for my 30det. theres plenty of info around on restrictor sizes with or without vct, but all the info for vct heads include an external oil feed. what size restrictors would work best with this internal feed on a street driven 30det? i ordered a couple off the net and got sent 1x 1.5mm and 1 blocked, worried it might not be enough oil for normal driving?

I'm building a 25/30 combo but don't want to use the VCT, is it better to have the solenoid off or on?

I'll be doing this mod but only to supply the front cam tunnel with oil.

Has anyone got any info on not using the VCT?

cheers shaun.

good point. Whatever was there - I'd assume the RB30 restrictors then.

Wonder what size they are?

2mm i think. factory 25 are 1.5mm i think.

i ended going with 2 ~1.6mm feeds, works out a little less than factory 25 by my calculations which should stop any blow by without starving the head

Johnno let us know how your engine goes, i think the rb30s have two 1.8mm standard, with leaving them standard i was still getting way too much oil to the head.. a bit of spirited driving would result in quite alot of oil coming out of the breathers... i think im going to 2x1.3mm this time

Forgot to mention, thats with a rear head oil drain and all of oil drains drilled out in the head only, and the two factory rear oil drains dremeled out a bit, as well as the smaller restrictors im going to try and stick a descent sized hose from my catch can to the sump to allow both oil to return and the blowby from the engine to escape without clogging up the oil returns in the head

Jarrod

does anyone have any pics of exactly where to drill out the oil drains in the head?

now you have me wondering if i should make them smaller than 1.5mm, are the standard 25 feed definately 3x1.5mm? because i wasnt getting much blowby at all with the 25 so i figure aslong as i keep it less than standard 25 it should be fine

Edited by JonnoHR31

With regards to the oil restrictors in the rb25 standard, im not 100% sure to tell you the truth, i have heard conflicting sizes, most people say the two feeds are 1.5mm, but when comparing them to the size of my 1.5mm tomei restrictor they look slightly smaller, i have heard of ppl measuring them up to be 1.3mm, the vct feed i have heard it being anywhere from 1.5-1.9mm =/, when my engine is apart ill measure whats in there now

As for the oil returns, you can see at the bottom of the block what holes go through to drain into the sump, so just follow them through to the head and youll know what to drill.. from memory im pretty sure all the small oil return holes are on the exhaust side, im going to attempt to get the two large holes at the back of the head drilled out more, i know a drifter that claims he drills them out a fair bit.. i only dremeled them up abit as i was afraid of hitting anything important.. ill let you know what gets done, but it wont be until i get my engine pulled back apart next holidays

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
