HI There,

I have oiling issue on my RB3025 néo engine. I HAVE READ NUMBERS OF TOPICS ABOUT THAT... BUT... found no solution.
A complete drawing will be the best to explain my sittuation.
Engine is pulling hard, I don't think there is too much blow-by...

I really hope a solution to fix that and raise up my boost !

See attached file !

Cheers from France ;)

First, ensure that the breathers from the rocker covers to the catch can are both seperate. T-ing these lines effectively halves the breathing capacity.

Secondly, introduce some vacuum into the system. Either via the pcv valve or pre-turbo but preferably both. Vacuum in the crankcase is a good thing.

Lastly, if that doesn't work, hide under some coats and hope that somehow, everything will work out.

Your plumbing looks ok but

1. are your sump breathers both above the oil level in the sump?\

and

2. is your catch can 300ml? It needs to be 2L (2000ml)

also what oil pump and do you have any restrictors in the oil feeds?

As has been said get a bigger catch can because 300ml is way too small

Also needs one way check valve on the drain back from catch can so oil doesn't pump out of it. As r32-25t said it needs the sump breather to the can well above oil surge level or you are just pumping oil up the breather.

And I just saw you have the rear head breather teed to the turbo oil drain. That's not a good idea because you could be causing oil to back up into the turbo drain.

how are people getting a hole above the oil surge line on stock sump? I was looking at my block today and couldn't really find a good place to drill a hole in the side of it without it coming close to the structure of the main caps which I don't really want to drill into the block anyway...

Well its easy with an RB26 sump but I imagine with a steel sump you could have an elbow facing up til its well clear of the oil level so long as it doesn't get in the way of the crank etc.

^ Im liking the way youre thinking!

In regards to dobs post he said that you need a one way check valve from the drain of the catch can to the sump to stop oil from flowing out the can, im a little confuzed as to how crank gasses can get out then? As i thought that was the point?

Frank there is a breather hose and a drain back hose. The drain back is the lowest hose.

Some people put a check valve in one line and it works for them. I have no check valve - my theory is at full WOT pressure escapes via both hoses and I haven't found an uphill straight long enough to fill my 2L catch can so when I lift off it drains back fairly quickly via the bottom hose. But others have a check valve in one line with no problems.

OK buddies! thanks a lot for your comment ! ! !
1. I must have forgot the check valve trick. Whitch seems a great solution for me !
2. Aswell as the 2 liters can !

Dobz : "I could be causing oil to back up into the turbo drain T'ing it with the rear head drain."
I thought the rear head drain was a drain. You think it is more a blow-by vent? (it shoudn't be as the bottom end is already vented on the intake side (as much as possible))
And I never saw my ball bearing turbo smoke oil (my exhaust piping is clean). And I have no other place to T the rear head drain.

Does some people here think the rear oil drain is useless?

White GTS-T : 1. I thing venting it (pcv etc...) in the engine intake is the risk of putting oil in it and knocking. Quite risky i think whith my E85 setup (high timing).
2. T'ing the 2 top lines of the cam cover minimise the amount of air venting out of the head ; then minimize the amount of gaz coming up from the cranckcase... => Better oil drain from head to cranckase then IMO. Don't you think ?
3. what does mean : "hide under some coats" (english is not my first language ;) )

Attached is a bigger picture of my sump. My holes are all above the oil level. I was just hoping that the oil wasn't comming in front of those holes when accelerating... It would cause oil to get up in the catch can. (But it is meant to be a RIPS model...)

My spool head drain tees in with the turbo drain. Havent had any issues yet. Checked my catch can the other day and its bone dry. I run a line from the catch can to the intake pipe and a PCV though so different setup.

Needs more rpm :P

Are you actually getting oil from the breathers?
For an N1 pump to push that much oil there's something funny going on.
I would be looking at your catch can drain, being on the intake side isn't a good idea IMO.

OK This seem to be solved!
As you advised me :
I have put a check Valve in the oil drain. (was a 14mm on picture but replaced by a 17mm model)
I bought a 2 Liters can; (I baffled it myself just to do things perfectly right)

See attached files !
And TA DAAAA ! Done! No more oil coming out ! This is great !
But now there is a question that haunts me... How much oil can I put in my catch can and in my heads. There must be some oil stocked by those 2. It needs to get down on the boost/revs so oil can return back in the sump.
From how many seconds to the limiter do I take a risk of sucking air in the oil pump (while cornering mostly, using extended oil sump)
Anyone as ideas ofhow to check that?

That's what the restrictors are for - to minimize excessive oil in the head - and if you have a 2 litre catch can that's the most that can fit so if you have an extended sump (8-9 litres?)_ you are unlikelyu to empty it. As soon as you lift off the oil in the catch can should flow back pretty quickly. If you have an aftermarket ecu you should be able to log the oil pressure but I doubt you are emptying the sump now.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
