Hey guys. Coming from the US on this one. I can't seem to find an accurate picture of the degree of which you all are enlarging the head and block oil returns. My engine builder is second to none here on the East Coast, but hasn't dealt much with this type of mod to the RB26. I need semi-close pictures of the oil returns that you are enlarging and to the degree that you are enlarging them. Are you just cleaning up the casting to facilitate the oil returns or are you actually taking 1-3mm from the returns...????? Thanks in advance.....

Here's mine, marked in red are the oil returns, ready to be drilled. I drilled out the rear one's out to the gasket template.

The other oil return holes can be drilled out another .040-.080 thou. Of course the block would be drilled out to the same size to make it worth while.

Put a -10 or larger oil vent line from the sump (above oil level, near the top of sump) into a breather/catch tank too. I need to do this, because at the track my oil is not returning back into the sump quick enough (high revs+boost), and it's filling the catch can!

GTRSean and DRIFTER, thank you for your responses. It does make sense that the existing returns be enlarged to that of the headgasket. For some odd reason I did not think of that when talking with my engine guy. We lined up the headgasket on head and then onto the block and you can OBVIOUSLY see what needs to be done, exactly that of GTRSean's picture. Thank you both.

BTW, you wouldn't happen to have a schematic for this sump vent would you? I am having a hard time picturing this. This is how I am picturing it. Both the cam covers run to the catch tank, K&N filter on catch tank, steel wool in catch tank. Then hose runs from bottom of catch tank to the vent you are talking about above oil level on sump. I already have a fitting there for the oil return/vent from the back of the head. Can I run that same fitting for the catch tank or make another next to it?

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
