I haven't put the M restricted bolt in the block. I am have drilled a grub screw to 1.5mm and threaded my banjo bolts to simulate the block restrictor

The front turbo looks like the only one to be leaking into the exhaust. I will also look at the Tee piece. looks like the uphill section may be causing an issue as stated by elite.

I had another look and I do have the "M" restrictor bolt. I have installed 1.5mm restrictors in the banjo's which did help a smidge maybe. I hada think about it and pulled the Tee off installed a divider so the rear turbo drain oil doesn't effect the front as its an easier path for the rear turbo oil flow to go past the outlet and into the front turbo line before being pushed back and out the outlet causing more restriction on the front turbo return. I have pretty much no smoke at all now. Will go for a drive and check that it clears out of the exhaust. I will be revising my return lines as they are not optimal .89 mm ID. Be be interesting if they are ok at high rpm when more flow is required. Elite was correct pointing out my oil pump wasn't the problem.

Matt

are they the premade oil lines you can get from the uk? via ebay?

no, they were made up. guy made a mistake with my speed flow -10 quote which is actually -14 JIC. way to small. changing them tomorrow.

Its on an rb30, I doubt the factory lines would reach the extra 38mm

I am using the factory steel lines, they bent up 38mm. This is the oil returns. I should have used a 38mm T25 turbo flange shim. Would have put them all back in the standard position along with the dumps/front pipes.

I have changed my hoses from 8.9mm ID to 19mm ID(STD size) and had a Y piece made up so they both travel down hill the entire way. As long as the Tee isn't to restrictive I should be fine now. I have put a heat shield sheath on the rear line as it goes around the rear dump.

Talked to the guys at MTQ who said the turbo housing have a .8mm restrictor inside but I may need smaller if they still leak.

Will know how its goes tomorrow.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
