Hey everyone, just been tearing down my rb25det to change a few of the gaskets and modify a few things. One of those things was adding a catch can. But I’ve run into an issue. My idiot self thought that the breathers were just screwed in.. even the slightest bit of research shows that they are intact not screw in but pressed in. I’ve already bought all the fittings for the system. So now I’m just wondering if anyone knew any good ways to remove the fittings? I’m in the Geelong area of Victoria if anyone knows someone specific, if not then just the sort of business that would be able to help me out with that?
 

My idea after getting them removed was to tap the remaining holes and possible get them welded on too? Thoughts on this are welcome as I’m sure more than one person has been through this.

Well, they are just pressed in, so they just get pulled out. You have to twist and wiggle.

I am absolutely unclear on what you mean by this. If you want to change the fittings, there are dedicated press in AN fittings that people use expressly for this purpose. Available at most places where people sell this sort of stuff for these sorts of cars/engines/projects. Like Raceworks, EFI Solutions. And eBay. And Aliexpress.

ah okay, i was mainly asking because i saw somewhere that you have to heat them up or something to remove them.

and tbh i wasnt aware you could buy press in fittings and the main reason i bought the thread in was because i though thats what the oem ones did anyway and i thought it best to try and utalise the ones i have already bought

I've recently removed mine. As mentioned if you can twist them to get them moving they come out pretty easy after that. If you're having trouble, stick something like a screwdriver or socket extension through the hole to use as a moment arm to get them spinning around.

Also as mentioned, many companies make press-in adapter fittings like so: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/an-rocker-cover-breather-adapters/

      Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
