metric?. my gauge reads in psi i just converted it for you guys.. believe me when i did a compression test this week and the cam covers were of as i was checking valve clearances at the same time, with the cas disconnected and wot the oil that was being pumped to the cams was unbelievable. i suspect with a 1.5 mm in there and 8000rpm there would be a gallon a miniute in them covers, no cam baffle will help that, its no wonder they breath. if i built another i might even reduce it more, its frightening how much oil get up there from such a small hole, god forbid i left both the oil feeds in, the sump would empty..lol

I was referring to the .65 of your restrictor. 65 thou ? I gather it is in mm

yes mate .65mm. tomei supply 1.2mm in the h/g kit, we have blanks made and drill them to what we feel we need. take a look at the banjo,s that come with hks turbos, the oil feed ones, they have a restrictor fitted in the end it is like .9 mm i think. tiny really if you think about it and thats supplying the turbo bearings,i know they are bb and dont need alot of oil..

awesome read, im a little confused with the line that vents the air from the crankcase to the catch can.. if you weld the return onto the sump will it actually be sitting below or above the oil level?

I will post some pics up of my setup when I'm at the track on Saturday. Best to have the return above the oil level and on the passenger side as there is a lower pressure on that side due to the clockwise rotation of the crank. I use the dipstick tube however.

I now have a sump return on my secondary catch can to the turbo oil return as well as the return to the dipstick from the primary catch can... is my problem sorted now you ask?.....nope still fills both cans.

I am begining to think my Mines baffle plates are not doing there job in my senario. I had a close look at them. Once oil gets above the baffle there is no way for it to return until the car decels. The std baffles have a return near the rear with plastic diffusers... I will show you why I think these don't work for me.

its hard to tell from the pic, but do you run a Autech type can on top of the rockers? if you dont you should try on, this is like an extra baffle on top as it will hold enough oil to stop it filling the catch cans, then when it gets a chance it will return in back into the top of the head, if it does fill it then it will overflow into your other catch cans then into your sump through your oil return

I do like the idea as the gibson GTR runs a similar setup. The problem I have is clearance with the Rb30 block and all. Maybe I could look at a custom setup using that principle.

I might look at adding the std oil return diffusers from the std plate to my Mine's plates.

Here is an example of the G forces...

Add a drain line above the baffle plate on the side of each rocker cover, that runs to the low pressure side of the sump.

I'd also look at a -10 line from the crank case, dip stick side to a breather can to relieve some crank case pressure.

Ahh yep. That sux

out of curiousity did you drill out the oil returns in your block/head as well as enlarging the 2 rear oil drain oils in the head??

one of the holes in my head is barely a hole at all, the smallest bit is at least a third the size of the narrowest point in the block.

did you end up checking your crankcase pressure with your map sensor?

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
