Hi I was looking at my rb25det block and I tried to take a measurement on it any way my micrometer is is to big to measure the oil restrictors. So my question is I am trying to find out if these oil restrictors are stock or after market I came up to a number that seems to small to be stock, the measurement is around .055 which is about 1.40mm so I am not sure if these are stock or not. The number I came up with is probably off as I can not get a accurate measurement.

Thanks
Richard

I have read the oil control thread but blocking one feed and restricting the other does not sound like a good idea to me as I am running the car as a street car and hydraulic lifters. People say well the rb26dett has smaller restrictors and one oil hole blocked off but the 26 had solid lifter and not hydraulic lifters like the series 1 and 2 rb25det which means the lifters need a lot of oil. I am thinking of running a line from head to sump but not sure about the restrictors or blocking off a oil hole.

Hi Ben C34 I was using a vernier calipers.

Thanks

Can't believe you're still thinking of running a line from the head to the sump after reading the thread.

Don't forget vct supplies some oil to the top but if you are not keen on blocking off one of the oil supplies you can do what I did - fit 2 x 1.0mm restrictors.

Hi KiwiRS4T do you have hydraulic lifters, BTW I like your idea on running 2 x 1.0mm restrictors, so do I put the 1.0mm restrictors in the middle and rear oil feeds. BTW when I looked at the restrictors on the tomei website it says do not use restrictors in conjunction with the hydraulic lifters which seems not to be correct.

Thanks

Front and rear leave the VCT alone. What kind of oil pump are you using? What are you using the car for - track only? Street car? Circuit track days?

Actually mines on an RB30 block with an RB25DET head with hydraulic lifters and an external supply to the VCT.

Never mind Tomei get the restrictors from me!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
