Wow you guys really went into depth ! Was out for a few days lol. From what I newly learned and understood is a “head drain” is essentially to relief pressure from the crankcase gases going up thru all the engines holes and making it easier for oil to drain back , correct ?

Now I do have one fitting on the extended sump already. Is it necessary to make another one? One line tee’ d off to the sump and to the intake.

Them the other like to the covers ? Would this way work ?

still need to buy some other bits like the crank collar and the correct size oil restrictors. I’m in the states so it’s a little more difficult to source rb parts out but I think as we got more rb cars imported people are really getting more into them. Anyways my solid goal is to make my car as reliable as I can to have as much seat time as I can. Now need to buy some more maintenance bits and turbo and manifold and we’re off to go. 

Thank you everyone for the input !

 

 

P.s I’ll give these sard injectors a chance this season and see how they act up. But will be getting some modern ones later on. Just on a budget lol.

When you can I would definitely consider getting some Bosch 040 injectors, those will be a lot better for spray pattern, atomization, and accurate flow control as long as you stay within ~OEM parameters i.e. ~3-4 bar differential fuel pressure, ~12-14V supply. NZEFI sells them for a pretty fair price.

If the goal is to help relieve pressure you probably should route from the top of sump in the spot where crankcase pressure is highest to a PCV valve then T into the plumbing back to the intake. I suspect the reason why most people route the line into the head is actually to use the PCV valve, otherwise you will start pulling oil into the intake at idle due to high vacuum.

If you are going for full drift I would seriously consider a dry sump system. Wet sump works for street cars but if you are going to be at high revs and pulling high Gs you will ventilate the block at some point even with the best wet sump setup possible.

Yes you need to ventilate the crank case but you need to employ an air/oil separator or catch can or both. Read say the last half of the oil control thread to see what people have actually done to achieve comprehensive oil control. A dry sump system is ideal but an expense that can be avoided even by dedicated drift machines with the proper measures.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
