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

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
