Gq Rb30Det

[zac320]

Hey guys well i have a rb25 powered patrol, going the 30DET root. I have the block here and the head. Heads off tomorow to get get the oil gallery plugged up. I need oil restrictors for the head yes? Where do i buy these from? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Yes ive searched and searched. But there are so many different opinions as to what head gasket i should go? Can someone link me to one so i can go ahead and purchase. Ive heard i should go ones thats got built in o rings?

Thankyou. I have about 3 guides im reading in front of me.

Keep in mind i live in a country town and there are no such places as performance engine builders. Ive found one place that will screw the hole up in the head

Thanks Zac

EDIT - Just reading should run a -16 drain fitting from head to sump instead of oil restrictors?

I got my restrictors from Lewis Engines. Ebay has a NZ place selling them super cheap : http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=oil+restrictors+RB30&_sacat=0

I used 2 x 1.3mm restrictors and still ended up with oil in the catch can with 80psi of oil pressure above 5k.

If you're using an external oil feed for the VCT, I would suggest maybe going slightly smaller. Just my opinion, but there is a huge thread on oil restriction.

Regarding your second post - you MUST run restrictors no matter what. I didn't with my first build, and there was oil f**ken everywhere lol

So do you reckon i should go 1mm or 1.2mm? Later on ill be runner a bigger garret turbo and say around 14PSI.

Im currently reading the 357 page thread and i think im confusing myself more and more. Hence why i created this thread.

Will the standard rb30 oil pump be suitable? I plan on rev limiting it to 7k maybe even 6.5k. Also should i go a standard rb26 head gasket? 1.2mm i belive they are?

Thanks heaps for your reply mate, we have no performance shops here so yous are my best help.

Scrap that idea, i dont want to remove the crank to fit the rb25 oil pump, so is the rb30 pump sufficient?

Cheers

If you're not rebuilding the bottom end, yes, Everything is sufficient. Revving it that high really won't be necessary. And besides, if it goes bang after a while, $100 and a weekend and it's going again.

Yeah it just seems so complicated. What oil restrictors should I use with a vct head and a standard rb30 oil pump?

I can sell you 2 x 1.0mm restrictors. That's what I have in my RB30/25 (with VCT).

Hey guys well I bought a rebuilt rb30/25 that's already assembled. Just bare engine. The heads s2 but doesnt come with coils or anything and my old s1 engine comes with nearly brand new coils ect. So can I just swap all that over to turn it into a S1

[zac320]

And can I use my s1 intake manifold?
