25/30's basically, what are you running in your setup? ive heard to block one oil feed and restrict the other or restrict both? or neither? what size restrictor are you using ... and what oil pump your using ? just intersted to see what ppl are using in there setups

  • 1 month later...

I'm gonna steal your thread as I'm interested in the same stuff

assembling bottom end at the moment.

rb30e oil pump with no restrictors versus rb25 oil pump with restrictors (what size???) what would be your choice?

Rb25/30 r33 series one head. daily driver + weekend thrasher standard head +35R

Hmm that's interesting..

With my 25DE (non VCT) head and N1 pump I really needed smaller restrictors (didn't touch them at all).

However the bottom end that is about to go in is a stocker with stock RB30E pump, I wasn't planning to restrict anything but now I am rethinking that idea..

Any advice would be appreciated as the head will be going on on Saturday!

Setup is:

- standard series 2 RB30E bottom end

- standard RB30E oil pump

- R32 RB25DE head

- ASR bigass sump

- cam covers vented to atmo catch can, PCV blocked, head has a fitting in the back but I wasn't going to bother plumbing it up. Still have the opportunity to weld a fitting to the sump for the head breather if needed..

So I guess my questions are: do I restrict the oil feeds and if so, how big should they be? should I bother installing a fitting on the sump (drivers side on the top of the wing?) for the head breather?

Yep sweet, just spoke to my mechanic and he said exactly the same thing about blocking the rear feed and putting a 1.5mm restrictor in the front feed. Cheers :thumbsup:

Can you get fittings that don't require welding to the sump? I was planning on bolting it up on Saturday so if I can get away with just drilling a hole and screwing a fitting it that would be much preferable to welding!

Care to elaborate on your bogan way?:P

Chuckie has grabbed me a few 1.6mm mig tips but I think they might be too small an OD, he's now tracking me down some grub screws to match the taps up at the workshop, worst comes to worst I'll drill out a 1.5mm hole in a grub screw and tap that into the front feed.

The good thing with the grubscrew is its easily changed. Screw it out and drill it bigger or just make another with whatever sized hole you need.

Ive found the 1.2mm ally tips, which have a 1.4mm hole have worked well (close enough to 1.5mm). Just turn them down in the lathe and part it off.

Care to elaborate on your bogan way?:P

2mm thick short nails tapped in with a punch and loctited in, then drill a 1.5mm hole next to them, they're long enough though that if they do come loose they'll hit the head before coming out, simply resulting in a tiny bit extra oil flow.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
