Ok guys. I am coming down to the nitty-gritty part of this build. I am building an 800AWHP RB26/30 S14, yep, already converted to AWD.....no bashing please.

I am running the Ross Dampener and Drive gear, driving an Aviad 4 stage oil pump using the Ross Pump bracket to the existing A/C compressor bracket holes in block. Three scavenges have been modified to the GTR oil pan. Running a 19 tooth sprocket on the crank mandrel and a 38 tooth pump sprocket.

Now, it is coming down to the hose sizes.......as this subject is different across the board.

This is my current thought process for this part:

Tank to pump (feed/suction to pump) = -12AN

Pump to Greddy Relocation block with oil cooler, block to engine (pressure side) = all -10AN

Scavenges from oil pan to pump = -10AN

Return from pump to tank = -12AN

Does this sound about right? Anything sound too small? Car will be a fun weekend car, some dragging at the strip, maybe a few road course events in the future. What do you guys think?

Also, on a side note. I will be capping off the valve covers, running about 10in/Hg in the crank case, and running a vent tank on the oil tank, sound about right?

As always Risking, thanks for your input on this. Now, I do know that you usually mount the oil tank in the boot. My tank is being mounted on the left hand drive passenger side fender well area in front of the wheel. Because of it being close to the pump, will a -12AN return from the pump to the tank suffice? Or regardless, do you recommend a -16AN? And with this not being a heavy road course car, will -10AN scavenges not suffice?

The reason we use -12 scavengees is to assist with oil airation and pump cavitation. Use -12.

Distance is irrelevant

Your aviad pump would have been supplied with -12 inlets and a -16 outlet. Or everyone I've ever bought has been.

That's usually a good indication Of what the pump manufacturer would like you to use.

And what are you doing with the cam covers and venting? Are you just capping off the valve covers and PCV, completely sealing the engine, then just venting the oil tank?

I have already tapped the oil dipstick hole and installed a barb fitting that I will attach a vacuum regulator to, or just a simple piece of hose with variable size restrictors in it to regulate sump vacuum/pressure.

The common way is to seal up the motor totally apart from a vacuum regulator and then vent the tank to a catch/overflow can with a breather setup on it.

Who is this guy? :P

lol think its time for a chat soon mate! Its been a while!

However I was over in europe for the last month on holidays! Only been back for a few weeks.

Back to the dry sump stuff. The speedway guys typically run filters on the rocker covers to let air. So eitherway will work.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
