hi guys im currently building a 400+kw rb25/30 retaining vct

my head is currently being machined and I need to know what the maximum diameter is that I can drill out the head oil drains?

I have a -12 headoil drain also and restrictors etc but I will be doing the above also, any info or feed bad muchly appreciated

Corey

I understand 10mm but haven't done it myself. You also have to relieve the tops of those holes and the other drains.

Hi, i know this has been asked but i haven't seen an answer to it, has anyone got the internal VCT feed working and controlling oil issues to the head on a track engine?

what feeds are people running to the head when not using an external VCT but the internal drill feed method?

Ive never had this mod running tried it on two different engines with 1.5mm Restrictors and n1 oil pumps.

ended up doing the tried and proven method of external oil feed.

I am not sure if the internal VCT feed method got past the great theory stage. I have seen a couple of people who have tried and failed - don't remember seeing anyone who has actually done it successfully. Anyway don't really see how it relates to oil control problems - you still need restrictors at least and with RB30s I would say you need sump breathers.

hey guys im deleting vct on my 25/30 still running hydraulic lifters though, iv removed and plugged the vct solenoid in the head, obviously the bottom of the head is welded (the vct feed area). and I have 2x 1.2mm oil restrictors is there anything else I need to do?

Hey I read on the Webbers guide page for oil feed mods and it says " R34 NEO heads can be ran without NVCS as there is a normal oil feed" Can anyone confirm this? Or do you think an external feed should still be done?

Cheers Chris

Got a link to the guide you were reading?

Oh ok well I intend on keeping vct. But must have read it the wrong way. So I'll still need the external line. Thanx fellas

I'm not saying the internal feed won't work - just that people on this forum recently have tried and failed. If you look at Webber's site (link above) you'll find instructions on how he did it.

Yea I didn't think u could do it internally. From what I read on webers I was under the impression u didn't have to run a external line, even if u wanted to keep vct as the neo operates a different way. But guess it can't so External it is. Thanks guys

drilled from one feed to the other .. get the angle right or you could end up with oil where you dont want it

picky of where I drilled between the first 2 (intake) cam journals

Drilled and tapped the outer layer to take a bung

Dummy fitted the bung to show what it looks like finished

Head was then dissassembled for further mods before being cleaned an reassembled

Hope this helps people

Hey I realise I'm digging up an old post but can you (boost is good) or anybody else help with this mod to the neo head?

This is easy BUT how on earth to you prevent getting chips in the oil gallery below that will be spat through the motor in the future? You obviously can't get to the inside of that oil gallery easily so have you just ignored this? Can you take the plug out of the front and the ball bearing and spring etc and clean it out?

I just notice people talking about external feeds on Neo heads again in here, I can't understand why you'd go external if you can do a rock solid internal mod?

You drill it with the head off and blow it out.

absolutely brilliant. i was thinkin of doing this also with mine but there wasnt alot of people willing to try it back then and also time was an issue so i went with external. might have to re-visit this! less points of failure!.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
