Ok experts....... got a weird one.........

Just to be prudent before i machine up some bungs, i though id measure the little bores to make sure mine was 6mm, as i take nothing for gospel , espeially when its a 1min job.

Now 6mm is fine, but then i though, as i did initially, the restrictors look small.....

In The RB oil thread only ONE guy mentions this ....... i found ALL 3 of my restrictors are about 1.3 mm .........

No one replied to him....... so im not sure if its std or not .....

Im just worried the VCT isnt getting enough...

Gary

So what is the consensus on the stock RB25DET S1 oil restrictor size ?? I mean everyone just seems to assume and go on what they have heard..... who has measured ??

..... Specifically for me, what is the std VCT oil restrictor size. ??? I guess i could still block the middle off and leave the rear 1.3mm restrictor. But i am concerned the VCT is too small....

And also just keen to know if S1 std is not the same as what i have,.... which would throw another spanner in the works. !

Gary

lucky i have a spare s1 block at work.

I measured the hole size and I got about 1.3ish too. Across the board. Answer is (as i would do it), leave the vct std, machine up one bung to block off one feed and machine up another bung with the 1.2mm hole, or is it 1.0mm? Been a while...Std pump, id go 1.2mm, anything aftermarket 1.0mm. And that is all from experience :thumbsup:

thanks Michael,

I'll just block off the middle one. For the sake of .1mm im not going to touch the rear one... plus in SK's oil restrictor guide, he reccomends std vct, block middle and 1.5mm rear ..... so its already below that.

And in combo with the rear oil drain, should be well and truly fine.

    • 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.
