Hi guys

In the process of putting together a 2530 and just trying to make sense of some of the info in the oil restriction table. I want to retain my VCT. I will be using an N1 oil pump and RB25DET head (circuit/drift application) so according to the table, ill be blocking off the front feed and inserting a 1mm restrictor in the rear feed in the rb30 block. My question is, what is it referring to when it states to leave the VVT supply?

Theres obviously no provision for a restrictor in an RB30 block for oil supply to VCT so i was a bit confused. I still haven't decided whether i want to do an external oil feed to VCT or the brass plug mod on the front of the head. But once i chose, that'll be it to ensure function of my VCT aside from welding up the oil feed in the head, yea?

The VCT oil feed returns via the head, so it is effectively a head oil supply as well, remembering the purpose of the table is to prevent high flow oil pumps filling the head (and emptying the sump).

You will need an oil  supply for the VCT, I'm not familiar with the various options

I would recommend going for an external oil feed for the Variable Timing Control, I've tried the internal brass plug way and it wasn't pressurising the VTC enough.  I had a new plug CNC'd with the correct hole sizes and it still didn't work, external worked perfectly.

Appreciate the feedback guys. External vct oil feed it is then. 

In regards to the oil restrictor table, that would count as "leaving" the vct supply, correct?

So i can follow it as recommend and block the front/ insert 1mm in rear?

99% sure from memory that's what I did but might have gone for a 1.2mm restrictor with a 26 pump.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
