has any one run a nitto pump to 8000, does the oil pressure drop in the last 1000

ive run our greddy pump to 9000 and its pretty much the same pump. Stock tomei baffled sump all ok, what sump and capacity are you using?

8.5 ltr, even if you spin the engine up for 1 power run the pressure drops 3 pound after 7k

what sump ? dont post it please pm me. We lost a engine (luckily our own) cause the aftermarket sump we used had the pickup mounted too close to the sump floor.

the sumps one i created, 6 gated deal nothing fancy, the thing has another issue where it fills the rocker covers at the track if you pull it through 6 gears there is no oil in the pan.

what restrictor size in the block?

what restrictor size in the block?

1.5 rear 1.5 centre and 1.9 front as per standard, the thing has done a bundle of racing, but with an n1 pump. i pulled the engine today, and fitted a -12 rear drain but not sure how far to cut back the top end feed, the vtc is still used and the power delivery is 11 hundred revs earlier with it, so i dont want to disconnect it, even with the 6 speed it hopeless at the track with out it. How far can you cut back the oil flow. im only running 70 psi hot.

vent the sump on the drivers side to an intermediate tank with the rocker covers then vent this tank to a regular catch can...problem solved.

have you ever blocked the centre oil feed with hydralic lifters

id drop the restrictors down in size, i tested the rear drain on our engine on the dyno and found it did NOTHING useful... so we dont bother with them.

We drop to 0.95 in the drift 26's and have no issues, the 25's need more like 1.2mm or your lifters start to starve.

so you dont think blocking the centre feed is the go, who is the sydney kid, he posted a chart re this

hey mate, im running the vvt head and had too much oil in the head, blocked the center feed, 1.5 in the back and about 1.4 in the vvt feed.

Solved the problem and no lifter rattles.

over 100psi cold and around 70psi hot oil pressure.

can i nominate this post for post of the year....thanks Trent. Another one who has actually tested this rear head drain bullshit and proved it as such. In a race engine i recommend running 1.2's with a hydraulic head and 1.5 for the VCT, enlarging the factory drains by 2mm...this works well.

LOL yeah but the problem is our race car still has it so everyone we build an engine for goes "i want one too" and we get into the converstion of why we no longer do it ;)

PS i remmebr reading a few months back in a Laptop thread what type everyone was using.... lately i've been having performance issues with mine (read dropping, splashing and incar datalogging during drift mishaps) i decided to bite the bullet and buy a toughbook like yourself... best investment ever.

u gotta admit though paul - having the rear drain in place looks really tough (bling factor) & its another thing to add to your mod list LOL

+1 for the tough book! In the last 6 years, I've drowned it twice, dropped it in the bilge (i work on superyachts) a dozen times, tuned a 3000hp 4000 series MTU marine diesel with 47psi of boost, seen 16 yachts, it's been to 18 countries, 4 continants, saved my ass in 3 air ports, had me questioned once in germany(thought I looked suss with all the datalogging/satalite gear and a millitary toughbook), had 3 different OS's, 2 ram upgrades and downloaded over 300gig or prn...

oh and tuned my GTR... ha ha ha must have flown off the seat 25 times!

without a hicup!!!

who needs a sissy mac!!!

Hey Trent, how do the trust sumps stack up in your sump testing?

Cheers

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
