Hi guys,

As a part of my rebuild all the mods i do also require a shit load of custom work to make them all fit.

todays question ( ive searched and found nothing) is...

How have you guys overcome the issue of using a head oil drain kit ( spool one) with the waterlines which run behind the head...

Pics are me holding the lines up. you can see the space from the head ( 10mm bolt ) to the water line bracket .

the only way past it that i can think is either bend the lines which i know will f*k them up... or cut them and insert rubber hose in place around the drain kit... but im sure it will rub and overtime cut into the hose.. :(

i purchased a justjap heater hose kit ... do any of these hoses help my issue ?

any help is greatly appriciated as allways..

cheers guys.

Forget the head drain kit. Just drill out and relieve the existing internal drains. If the head drain kit does anything it acts as a breather for the sump and this function is better acheived by drilling and tapping a hole in the top of the sump and running a breather straight to a catch can - which is what I did to solve my oil out of the cam breathers problem (along with 2x 1mm restrictors on an RB30/25). Skim through the last few pages of this:

Drilling out the internal drains doesn't really do a lot unless you funnel the leading edge of the top side because half the hole is covered by the valve spring seat.

Yep that's what I meant by "relieve" the drains.

Does anyone know ? Or am i the first person with this issue?

You need to bend the lines out of the way and have them loosely sitting under the drain area rather than bolted to the head.

If you are worried about rubbing, put a slit down some fuel hose and cover the steel line where it touches. There is not a lot else you can do, that setup is designed for race applications and assumes you won't be using the standard crap back there

Is there a kit u can buy that replaces that junk i really dislike it so messy

Not that I know of.

It's just water and boost. You can run vacuum hose to replace the boost but the water line will probably need to be braid or similar as it will need to go into the turbos directly

Maybe they are not on the market yet. Their website hasn't got them listed. But its possible they are available just not online yet.

Ring Andrew and ask.

i have the same problem on my rb25det, i have been trying to think of a way around it.

does anyone know if the line has to be on a fall, as in letting the water flow down into the turbo? or is it ok to use just rubber hose and bend it around head drain kit. i have lewis engine drain kit.

please help.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
