na just a good gated sump from asr. i'm not overly thrilled about the extra weight from the extra 2l of oil, so the idea of all the extra weight for 12l of oil and the lines and shit for a dry sump don't make it a good sell..... and i'm being a giant jew.

Funds is the only thing that is stopping it from going again. I've got the new bottom end there ready to go, just need a bash some restrictors in it, and buy a sump.

na, still hydro lifters. Only reason I can see a need for solid lifters would be for bigger cams. But I can't see why you'd ever put bigger cams on a 20, as they came over cammed from the factory.

boost and revs=full catch can. There is a guy down here who circuit races a std RB20, and he won't rev past 6500 with the same boost as me (23psi) because he fills the catch can. The amount of oil that is coming out can't be fixed with catch tank tricks. And for the $30-$40 it's going to cost I thought I might as do it. I'm using SydneyKids specs.

had 263rwkw at the start of the week, 200 - 220rwkw on the new engine (depending on the heat of the engine), then take 5psi of boost off from day 4 onwoods...180kwrw??

E85 did give it a good kick in the pants though. I only tuned the 98ron map on the road, so I don't have a power figure for it.

I was running 24psi and 8000rpm out of my RB20 for a fair while running about the same power as you...

Not a single drop in my catch can and that car got belted the f**k out of it on a stock motor, so maybe the motor is a little loose or tired?

I'm at a bit of a loss to be honest.

I'm struggling to understand how .2 bar can make such a difference. Mine doesn't pump into the catch can either, and I'm not exactly easy on it. Even after 5 days of targa there was still no sign that there'd been oil in the can at any time (I have it so it self recovers if it does pump into the can)...... Hell, #1 piston was half melted away and it still wasn't pumping oil! lol

I'm putting mine back together stock internally, and will be interested to see if a little more boost tips it over the edge.

what thickness oil do you run? I was using Motul 8100 5w-40, but i'm going to goto 25w60. Neither engine was compression tested or leak down tested.

The N1 never has this issue, even with 25psi and a big nitto pump.

Yeh Castrol for all RB20 crate motors :) I have only ever blown oil when there was plenty of limiter action. Bump the limiter a few rpm so i never hit it and no problem. Even the breathing on limiter isnt a common thing, but its about as good as i can do for a reason for the 2-3 times it has happened

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
