Now for a few more pics..

the pink filled bit in the cam journal is where the oil is fed into the bearing (that now comes from my new mod), and the Green bit is where the oil is fed to the VVT..

The pink circle is where the new plug will be inserted.

The brass plug is the return oil passage from the VVT solenoid to the head.. not much exciting in there, but I just wanted to look in there!

I bought a 25/30 and i dont think this has been done to the engine. It hasnt been driven for too long so hopefully the damage isnt too much. Im going to be swapping the heads soon anyway. So is this as simple as removing the plug and drilling it from the back then across halfway?

The pink and the green holes. Did you have to drill any of those out? Im asking as Im avoiding the scenario where I have to remove the cams. Can this be done without removing the cams? When I fit the brass plug back in does the perpendicular hole have to line up with the pink hole?

Interested to know from anyone who has used the TLG VCT kit posted here. It seems like it would work but I’m very sceptical. Maybe someone could explain how they think this would address the oil problem. It has an alloy block that removes the VCT solenoid from the head and relocates it to the right hand side of the engine, right under the oil pressure sender unit.

So the oil supply to the alloy block is Tee'd from the oil pressure sender. Then it goes from the alloy block to the original location for the VCT solenoid. My question is how does this trigger the normal operation of the VCT gear. What stops the oil flowing back into the engine block if there is too much resistance on the supply side. It seems like the external oil feed has been used quite a bit but from the search I’ve done. I cannot see how the VCT is activated using this method. Also noticed that the VCT solenoid had a second o ring the bore on the TLG doesn't seem to be using this.

Bryce I'm currently using this kit. I have to pre-warn you though and tell you that the creator is not very transparent, it took me almost 3 months from payment to receiving the product. Told me that his machinist was giving him the run around, and it wasn't until the machinist messaged me personally that I received the whole picture and not the one side. He takes the orders before even telling his machinist to make the kits and does not keep large stock of them in advance.

NOW, this kit is fantastic... I currently use it on mine with an RB25 Neo head with an RB26 block. The unit takes its feed from the pressurised oil in the side of the block, and the solenoid then turns on or off and allows oil to flow into the head. The piece that gets screwed into the head is like a dummy VCT Solenoid, and sends oil into the correct port and then up into the VCT Gear.

The kit was pretty damn easy to install and I'd say pretty discrete as well. I had actually tapped a hole in the front of the head because I didn't realise this was an option, instead welded that back over and went with this kit and happy I did.

This is how i did mine. You cant even see it with the manifold on an retained the vvt sensor in std location and is fed from the same location off the side of the block/original rb30 pressure sensor hole. I also retained the 25 neo oil cooler. This wayit looks stock.

Very accurate. I'm buying the kit off a mate.It took him more than a month to get his stuff.So I'll just buy it off him. Have you guys checked to verify that VCT is engaging?

I can physically feel the VCT engaging, VERY noticeable difference in torque with the VCT plugged in. 

I use this controller to tell it when to turn off and on.

So these external kits with the machined block for remote solenoid mount will only work on a NEO head and RB30 or RB26 bottom end

 

For an R33 head on a 26 bottom end the remote vct kit is to resolve RB26 manifold adaptor plates etc  IF you try to use the remote VCT on an RB30 or RB26 bottom end with an R33 head then  you can starve the cam journal???

I have one of these kits from bits I had years ago before plans changed 

I don't understand how that tracks with this video

This looks like I can run the v termite vct kit to feed the VCT on an R33 head on an RB26 bottom end?!?!?

 

Lol.... don't v have these problems on RB20s :)

    • 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.
