its a new pump.the old and the new one wouldn't have the same problems .different housing ect ..yes the pick up inspected and clean. and oil drain bk mods at only 225hp if that much would mean this motor has serious issues if its needed .

If you ignore blowby, HP figures are totally unrelated to oil pressure and flow. You could have a 50HP RB26DETT with oil drain back issues. Just say'n, don't rule anything out due to hp figures.

If you haven't had a good run with your engine you may not know if you are going to have oil control problems - and they are not related to hp but to revs and oil pump choice. there are two main symptoms - at extended periods at WOT such as on the straight on a track or on a dyno you can get too much oil in the cam covers so that it spews out everywhere. The other is that you can pump the oil out of your sump faster than it flows back potentially creating oil starvation. If you have the head off I would bang the appropriate restrictors in now anyway.

yes I understand how the oil system works ..this build has zero blow by ..and as for rev ..its prob seen 5000k to redline 5x in its 400miles... when my pressure drop off its usually from a 2nd gear pull. not going tru the gears and shifting hard .. I simply accelerate from 2k and by 3k my oil is up to 60psi.by 4 stays around 65 and by 5k falls off to about 55psi and would stay there to redline if I hold it.

UPDATE!!!!!!

so guys i have changed the bearings and went a thou thicker ..so clearances by elimination now is about .0016-.0018 and the oil pressure is up like a bitc* ..at start up its bk to 78psi but at a blip of the throttle of around 2500k its up to 100psi n climbing ...when warm it idles at 28-30psi when heated after some pulls it rests about 22-24psi ...at 3k when hot or warm its up to 70 psi at 5k its up 84psi .... when hot after some pulls it goes around 60psi at 3k and 74-78psi at 5k and holds..i havent hit the limiter yet as i see no reason too ,, car pulls hard...

have a new problem now..lol... experiencing windage ... my rb26 is in a s15 so we used a rb25 sump ..and did a lil customising to the sump...first i had 4.5l of 20-50 oil in it and when the boost hit over 16psi the oil pressure would drop to around 35psi when it climb rpm fast ...i added 1.5l for a total of 6l and now when i boost it drops off from 82 to 70psi on pulls ...so am assuming its time to get a 7L sump to help combat the problem..

but even how its set up now am still satisfied as am only revving 6k and getting 70 plus psi will over the 10psi per 1000rpm rule...

and yes the bearings had damages to them from the break in period of just 600-800km on low to no boost ....

also my tach was off so it was more like getting 3.5bars at 4200 rpm with the wider clearance and staying there...

hope this info is help full to other builders

so rule is...... wide clearance require bigger pump or oil pressure will be on the sad side......

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
