why you would want to do that i dont know.. if so you may have to remove the shims in the relief valve. if its filling the rocker covers up that wont really help. but it would be a massive job for a "just to see"

Don't believe a standard n1 pump will have any shims in the pump. From memory it will just be the two springs. But I'm with t04gtr 75psi isn't overly high. What oil are you running? You could try a different weight.

The N1 pump in my RB30 runs at 140psi cold and 100psi hot at 100km/hr and idles at about 50psi.

I am going to get a better oil pressure gauge to check but it does this with a couple of different grade of Motul that I have tried.

I also had problems with oil filling the cam covers (and blowing out everywhere) but this seems under control since I fitted 2 x 1mm restrictors and two breathers from the sump to a catch can (no "oil drain" from the back of the head).

the standard reliefe valve is about 120psi, it's no good. All the reliable RB's down here run ~75psi (that includes the 500rwkw lap record holder). But none of them run N1 pumps, so I can't get get a starting point for springs.

I had read somwhere that the N1 has two springs, but when I opened it up, only one big one was in there. I have put a fitting in my sump so I can change springs pretty easy.

and the down side of having high oil pressure? 100 psi at full noise hot is bang on. what is the problem with the engine?

you pressure reading is that taken from the small 1/8thnpt plug rearwood of the oil filter housing on the block?

oil pressure SHOULD be adjusted with oil wieght and bearing clearance, idealy there should be no presure relief in the pump ( aka most dry sump pump set-ups). so ALL the oil is being circulated removing heat and lubricating.

if you are concerned about the pressure try loosening up the oil clearance 1/2 a thou or so on the big ends. (try to keep the mains a little tighter so oil pressure rises quickly) also, having a high pressure means the oil pump is returning alot of oil to sump/pick up instead of going thru the bearings.

so opening up the clearances will make it live longer aswell. + reducing the oil pressure. 2 birds with one stone.

    • 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
