Hey guys,

Hoping someone can help me out or point me in the right direction.

I've recently picked up a GT-RS turbo for an rb25det, however it hasn't come with any lines or oil drain.

My question is can anyone tell me what size oil drain is required, or steer me in the direction of where to pick one up? I have done some searching and haven't been able to find any information on this.

Secondly, the oil feed, again I have searched but I still can't find a clear answer - some people say this turbo requires an oil restrictor and others say it is already built in.

Can anyone with this particular kit tell me the specifications of the original oil feed (and oil drain as well) so I can match these? Or if someone that has installed this kit and used an oil feed other than that which is included in the kit what they have used?

Cheers and thanks in advance!

Frank

Thanks Wolverine, I've sent him a message!

Would anyone else happen to know any info about the lines?

On my rb26/30 build I sourced my braided lines from kando dynamics, ebay seller. Great lines, great price, turned up quick and worked well. He had every conceivable combo for rb26's so probably carries stock for popular rb25 conversions.

Dunno about the gtr-s but my 2835 has the restrictors built in, I guess they would be the same.

I reused the speedlow fitting that hypergear gave me with my highflow for the oil feed so I didn't have to use the dodgy looking right angle joiner that attatches to the banjo.

Thanks for the reply guys, I don't think the drain will be too much of a problem now, I've gotten some very help info from discopotato03 to clear this up - thanks mate much appreciated.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the oil feed, too much oil and you'll blow oil through the seals and too little will starve the turbo and seize it.

To confirm if there is a restrictor built in the oil feed port, it should look like this yeh?

Yes that inverted flare should have the correct sized hole through it .

Its actually a mushroom shaped device that fits into the oil hole in the actual bearing cartridge ande locates it in the turbos center housing .

A .

Thanks again mate, from what i have picked up along the way in the inverted flair there is a .5mm hole which does the restriction?

With this and the oil drain sorted, all I have to do is the water lines which shouldn't be a drama.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
