The nismo Doesn't work on an RB30 block...with the turbo bolt-on return anyway. Def the go on a 26

Yeah I realise that but who has a 26 thesedays? Haha

I've been toying with making something like the NISMO one and the return plumbing into a Y/T piece after the turbos but it's all just thoughts and not a concern for practicality yet. Id like to know if for example the can was filled, and the return was into a turbo oil line what issues if any that would cause. Straight off the bat I was thinking about the line not being big enough for any extra oil and then the can wouldn't empty. Of course the best route is from the can straight to the sump but how many people will pull a sump out just to make one hole in it then put it back together esspecially in an awd car

Hence the dipstick return jobbies.

I reckon if you had that much oil in the can you'd have bigger problems? Considering what's in your system now stays in, I'm thinking it can't be that much.

Oh yeah agreed I'm thinking worst case here.

I'm just overthinking/complicating it all lol

I completed the Collinsgrove Hill climb on the weekend with the twin catch can setup.

The car went well, came second overall from 52...however I still have an oil problem. On my third run (read-lots of rpm)I managed to fill the primary can, and suck oil into the PCV...yes lots of smoke. I blocked the PCV for the next run and it was ok.

The setup is:

Passenger rocker cover joined to Drivers side rocker cover into the PCV and to the primary catch can, Primary catch can has a return to the dipstick (no check valve atm) the primary can outlet goes to the secondary can then from there into the rear turbo inlet. The covers are fitted with mines tripple flow baffles.

Potential Problems:

Baffle plates are not sealed anymore since going through the hot tank.

Sump is over filled (filled to the full mark on the RB30 Dipstick)

Less than 1.5mm restrictor required in the head

Too much oil pressure(7.7kg idle cold, 4kg warm, 7.5kg above 3000rpm warm)

Too much oil flow

Too thin oil (Nulon 10w40)

Not enough head drainage

Not enough baffle plate drainage (once oil gets into stage 3 of the plate)

What I will try (in order)

Le Mans 20w60 Oil (reduce oil flow), Check baffle plates

Install check Valve in return line

Install rear head drain. (most likely a small electric oil pump This pump Or this or thisgoing to the Dipstick from both Half moons)<---- you heard it from me first. The pump will be Hobbs switch, G-sensor, or TPS activated

Reduce Oil pressure

Install smaller restrictor( this is a last option for me...really not keen on reducing the flow to a level that may see issues when driven quietly on the street.)

i also run 20-60 lemans & it is a very good oil but super expensive.

i pay $60 for 2ltr & need 8ltr for each oil change

The question on my mind is it suitable for E85. I have to run the PCV- you should see how much condensation there is on cold start from E85 in the breathers.

thats good to know that lemans 20-60 is compatible with e85 as i am making the switch very soon

I looking at getting my injectors from here Rb26 injectors

Most likely 1350 or 1450cc. My 1000cc at 4bar base do not cut it.

im running the bosch indy blues 1600cc - my tuner was very happy with them, why dont u get those? cheap as well when compared to jap hardware

u do need to get a suitable fuel rail though to run these 14mm injectors (factory is 11mm) & custom spacers for the fuel rail as the injectors are taller as well

On e85?

From my experience around 1400 would be good. I use ID2000's, not cheap, but they're excellent

where did you by them and how does the car idle...what rpm?

Mercury Motorsport

Idles fine, just like stock except for the lumpy cams. Idle is set to 950rpm.

There's vids on YouTube if you wantto look then up but they wont help with this at all

The biggest shock was the low speed/throttle drivability. Before it was shit on light throttle or carpark speeds and I just put that down to the 1000's being so large. The ID's are just like stockers. Sure they're not cheap, but nothing good is!

The tuner, who does a LOT of tuning in Syd was over the moon with them and couldn't believe how good they are compared to the Indy blues which of course until the ID2000's came around were the big injector of choice for e85 cars

thats surprising stevo - are they that much nicer to tune with than indy blues?

mine idles beautifully with big cams :D

i think at the end of the day, u need to go with hardware which your tuner is happy with or can work with - for example, there is no point running a vipec if your tuner prefers working with a pfc

$1800 for injectors is a little insane..

Some of the Honda guys have been having trouble with these injectors on idle.

Honda guys ID2000 idle

I can't remember the exact wording as it was a while ago but the points he was making was;

-Better to tune

-Better to drive

-something about response time

-Well worth the expense

He tunes with any gear that people bring in, so for someone as widely respected to say that, and after driving it back to back on the 1000's, that's good enough for me :(

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
