Fill til it comes out the filler plug...that's what it's there for. For obvious reasons you won't be able to put any more in!!!

where is the filler plug? never heard of that...but anyway i thought it was 4.8l and 5l is good to put....could it be diff for rb26 or its the same for rb25 too...

Might be different on GTRs but it's usually on the side of the gearbox, not far from the slave cylinder.

Just put in 4L, start the car, switch it off and keep topping it up until its at full. 5L is far too much.

I can get 4.8 - 4.9 L perfectly in the middle of the dipstick if I jack up the back/passenger side of the car and drain out everything, I dont think 5L is way out there.

never knew that...ill check of that now in the weekend...would it be in other cars too? like commodores?

i've always found in the stag s2 rb25neo turbo, it fills my draining tray including the filter to about 4.9 - 5l right on the line.

(depending how much spills in the process on the front diff)

and my dipstick is always bang on the H mark.

now you've just reminded me i've gotta do a change this weekend.

I change mine Every track day I put in 5l , Been doing this for 2 years now ... :blink: runs sick

I always filled 5L too...never hade any issues...when Jezza-gtR said 5L is too much i started to get worried..lol...thanks for confirmation...

the sump takes 4.5 litres

but for a track day it is advisable to overfill by 500ml - 1lt to help prevent oil starvation

i usually just throw in 5lt

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
