well i'm getting everything done , Forged Rods + Pistons and ACL bearings all round . N1 Oil pump + N1 water pump and full head work done .. so im expecting around 300rwkw+ with the turbo + Fuel setup that i have .. I give the car alot of hell , hence why my last motor blew up due to seized bearing or whatever made my rod fly out the side of block .. I just dont wanna have any oil issues with the car and was wondering is the Spool Hi Energy sump too much for what im doing and does it really help with the rb25 oil issues .. also i am fitting the tomei oil oriphis or watever they are called into the head

I agree. Drop the N1 pump too and buy a JUN or something better with the money you'll save, and run the 1.5mm restrictor/block off plug setup as per sydney kids recommendonations.

If your overly concerned about oil surge on the street because of how you give the car hell, then run the oil level a tad above the high line. Problem solved.

if you're just doing street work there may be some baffle kit for the sump?

i have a sump baffle and an oil restrictor on my GTR when i had my engine rebuilt.

it works well for the street.

and if you're not tracking the car, then i doubt you'd really need to be sitting on the rev limiter when driving it on the street.

Waste of money.

N1 pump is fine.

Stock sump is also fine.

If you are worried, just overfill by 500ml for a RB25. As long as the head/restrictors are done correctly in a street car you don't need to go all stupid on parts.

Especailly not for 300rwkw.

Im buying billet gears for my stock oil pump...should solve durability issues as even the N1 pump still runs sintered steel for the gears, which is prone to cracking, the best part is the billet gears cost a lot less than the high end pumps but should be just as strong

if the motor is out then y not do it anyway???

what if in 6 months he suddenly decideds he wants to take it racing abit.

may aswell do it now n save on labour in the future.

I can play that game as well... What if he doesn't go circuit racing? Pointless mod.

Even with 300rwkw @ the circuit - Your "average" 350rwkw GTR with 4wd and semi's comp's doesnt use sump baffling...

Now given they will have more traction and g-force than a 300rwkw gts-t will ever have...

I cannot see a baffled sump being of much use.

More beers @ the pub for him basically, signifigantly more infact.

The fact he "gives his car hell" and threw a rod would be more about limiter abuse and poor maintenance... none of which a super sump is going to stop at all.

fit std pump and std water pump, more than adequate.

We used a std RB26 sump with removed diff and a tomei baffle only. With a greddy pump (60l per min) we had no issues for 3 years, we "upgraded" to a bigger baffled sump from a reputable engine builder and it cost us two engines (independently inspected).... swapped to an ASR and all the dramas are over.

point of story, you dont need one but if you do the only after market RWD sump we use now is the ASR (high energy) item.

Was it a properly built motor, with 300rwkw, as per the nature of this thread?

But then, all you NSW people seem to suffer from SBS.

Stock motor at 250RWKW...

And it spat it off throttle. When I picked the throttle up it was all over.

And that's because NSW has real race tracks... Or did... :D Oran Park ate mine going through the dip before the bridge...

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
