Rb30det Oil Squirter Help

[mcholden1]

hi there i have currently hit a cross road in my build i am running foraged internals in my rb30 and i am using manley rods and they have no oil squirters on them is it fine to use them or should i get oil squirters machined into them? or should i get some oil squirters machined into the block and will that be enough to lubricate the pistons cheers

The cheapest and easiest option would be to get some squirter holes drilled into the rods. As long as you have a standard rb30 rod with the size and angle of the hole for a machinist to work off.

Edit

That is if it won't cost more than a set of rods with holes existing.

dosent the stock det block at squrters?

[Dobz]

If you're so worried just sell the rods and buy some Nitto ones with the holes already drilled in them.

stig0000 the rb30 blocks don't have oil squirters in the block.

Nitto is the way i went, i have a pic below, i also ceramic coated the pistons to keep the heat off them.

[Missileman]

Best to contact Nitto directly.

If your in Melbourne i personally know a Nitto agent here who does good prices on them.
