Sexy!

You've put a bit of work into that!

Another tip my engine builder suggested (but I'm not sure I'll bother with or not) is a splash guard I guess you would call it that deflects the oil dropping down from the oil returns in the head to the side of the block so it doesn't drop onto the crank which creates further drag and additional oil mist in the crankcase.

Makes sense I guess but where do you stop??

thanks, yea the cleanup work was done by my mate Grootie from Grooties Race and Resto in Adelaide.

the rb30 center returns hug the wall as you can see in the picture next to the bottom of the piston bores, and dont present as much as a problem as the rear galleries do, as the center area is a tornado of oil anyhow due to the spray from out of the sides of the bearings. the rear galleries however dump most of the oil back into the sump and on serious drag cars or circuit cars, presents an issue wh ere the oil is actually going back up those rear galleries, therefore not allowing the oil to flow down there fast enough. Those cards you were talkin about would be best placed there , we thought about doing it, but its a prick of a place to try and weld in some cards/baffles, but it can be done. I think it would present the best payoff/benifit, i guess, for the oil control issue in these RB motors

Im sure this has been done to death previously, and ps im not a mechanic, just a hobbyist.

cheers.

also called a windage tray.

thought about 2-3months after it was in the car, should have adapted the 26 windage trays to suit the 30.....

bah, next time...

Sorry for bringing up an old thread but does anyone have more photos of exactly what holes to drill out so can do it before taking my block to the machine shop.

For the oil feeds, returns, or both?

quoted for what reason?

and possibly about to do this in the following month.

Had trouble sending from my phone, hence the double post, but BEARING SPINNER was telling SHOOTA that "its called a windage tray" . . .but thats not what SHOOTA was talking about

a windage tray is in place to stop the crank from whipping up the oil in the sump(as it spins) and possibly away from the oil pickup

SHOOTA was asking about baffles that deflect the draining oil from dropping onto the crank

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
