I haven't reinstalled the catch can yet. I have to make a new one as my air filer stole its home. But I've been unplugging the hose when I check the oil and there isnt a single spec of oil in it.

Can't believe after all the cost labour and effort youve put into this new engine that your driving it untuned like its a daily...

I honestly thought you would of learnt from killing the last engine

I did have it unhooked only hooked it the other day.

Im not using it like a daily at all. I drove it to work so I could go for a mountain run after work.

If I could find tuner who I trusted it would be booked in, as it sits I'm just slowly putting ks on it waiting for my tuner to move.

Ok I'm going nuts. To me it looks like the oil is coming from above the oil pump. I had it running for over 10minutes without the top timing cover and nothing came out.

How common is it to crack the oil pump? I read it can happen if the crank collar is wrong.

There wasn't a gasket so you just didn't put one on and used sealant?

That's te stupidest thing I've heard.

You my friend, need to take the engine completely out, remove the sump, remove the oil pump, apply a gasket with loctite gasket sealant (red stuff) and then put it all back together.

well im sorry but when my oem gasket kit didnt include one i assumed it just used sealant. later i found out that it hadnt been returned to the kit.

i have a gasket now and obviously i am going to replace it but i just wanted a confirmation as to how many oil pumps had cracked.

Don't apologize to me, apologize to yourself for creating at least 2 days more work, money, and car off the road.

You have a stupidly long thread that many people are subscribed to, and you didn't ask? I though it was common sense that no two metal surfaces that keep in a liquid under pressure go together without a gasket?

I can't see how there is even any pressure in there. It's just the air space in the sump and crank case. My breathers don't have any pressure so how does the oil pump? I can understand if it was the oil pump itself but yeah.

And I did ask people and they said the sealant should hold as its no different to the sump.

lol !!! there should be around 80psi behind that oil pump man !!! not sure what pump u used but did u see the 2 small holes in the back of the pump ? they are diagonally opposite and are your feed to the filter and pick up. the feed to the filter has all the pressure !! after the filter it goes to all bearings on the crank, crank can only bleed off so much oil so then the relief valve opens !!! sht loads of pressure dude.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
