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!

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
