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!

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By RA708 · Posted

      Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
