Hi all.

I have searched but cant seem to find a answer.

I am building a RB30/25, using RB25 oilpump, and 1.5mm restrictors to the RB25 head.

On the exhaust side of the RB30 block there is a oil out. I will be using that to feed my GT4084R turbo.

Do i need a oil restrictor before the GT4094R? Or should i just hook it up and leave it using the built in restrictor in the Gt4094R?

Also, there is only one oilreturn in the block, can i hook up, turbo drain, std head drain, and extra head drain to that using a T peice.. (Not T, but with 3 fittings. You get the picture)

Thank you.

Nissan ran 2 restrictors. One at the block and another at the inlet of the turbo.

GCG I believe supply turbo's with an additional restrictor. I reused the factory restrictor at the block on my old GT30 setup and will again be using a restrictor for the new setup.

Its not wise to T in to the turbo's oil drain.

Adriano. Block will be cleaned very good.

Rest:

Garret specify 40 - 45 psi oil pressure on max engine speed, and say"For many common passenger vehicle engines, this generally translates into a restrictor with a minimum of 0.040" diameter orifice upstream of the oil inlet on the turbocharger center section" And I should always check that this is correct.

Info from garrett here: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...r/faqs.html#t16

So i need to mount oil pressure gauge for that when running my engine?

I would prefer not to weld in the sump. So i will drill and tap 2 x 10mm holes in block. Both used as return for oil from the head. Will use the std hole in block for turbo return.

Thank you.

Huh? No restrictor at all?? I know there is one in the turbo, but I should fit no extra?

This is from Garrett's wesite.

"Ball-bearing turbochargers can benefit from the addition of an oil restrictor, as most engines deliver more pressure than a ball bearing turbo requires. The benefit is seen in improved boost response due to less windage of oil in the bearing. In addition, lower oil flow further reduces the risk of oil leakage compared to journal-bearing turbochargers. Oil pressure entering a ball-bearing turbocharger needs to be between 40 psi and 45 psi at the maximum engine operating speed. For many common passenger vehicle engines, this generally translates into a restrictor with a minimum of 0.040" diameter orifice upstream of the oil inlet on the turbocharger center section. Again, it is imperative that the restrictor be sized according to the oil pressure characteristics of the engine to which the turbo is attached. Always verify that the appropriate oil pressure is reaching the turbo"

I will be using RB25 oil pump, with hydraulic 24 valve head fitted with 2 x 1.5mm oil restrictors to the head from block. And 1.5mm restrictor for the VCT valve that will have it own hose. (Drilled in the head, and coming from side of block)

I have NO idea how much flow the oil pump makes with this setup. I have oil pressure for engine and can fit oil pressure for turbo also if needed to make sure. I dont want to blow my brand new GT4094R. hehe

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
