Hey,

I pulled down two rb25 det blocks...one for a rb30 build and the other just for a light rebuild for the race car while the 25/30 is in progress. I have some photos of the blocks to confirm about oil restrictors. One block is a s1 and other is s2. I had a piece of 1.56mm m/s tig electrode and i could not fit it down either of the two oil feeds. Both of these motors were dead std when we got them...one from car we already owned and one I picked up from down the coast which came in dead std form 2nd hand. Now If the restrictors are 2.4mm then shouldnt i have been able to fit the electrode down the feed? To me they look about 1.5mm, after i tapered the electrode tip abit it would just fit into the feed. Verniers verified 1.5mm holes.

Remember everything on these engines is std..internals/externals. So im lost.

Or am i confused with whats what here?

Cheers.

will watch this thread ..

but on the tomei web site they sell the restrictors, and only thing they say about the rb25 is that you shouldn't use them if still using lash (hydrolic) lifters..

interesting..

was looking at my rb30 and rb25 blocks. i thought the rb30 ones were bigger than the rb25 (visually only)

Im pretty sure i read somewhere 2 X 2.4mm hole std for rb20 and 25. Im pretty damn sure these engines are both std and have 1.5mm holes in them.

Yeh i know the tomei site doesnt recommend using them with the hydraulic followers...but SK recommendations have been noted in the rb30 thread regarding oil restrictors.

Has anyone else opened up a 20/25 to find 1.5mm holes in their feeds?

Bloudy Cubes hey lol...leading us all astray. Unless he just got told that from his engine builder and someone got confused somewhere along the way.

So i guess you would still just block one off as per SK specs.

Edited by r33_racer

was the Rb30 block using a 1.8mm restrictor as per his measurements?

this is something i have been tossing up over the build, still cant get a good answer on what to run.. might just run an N1 with 1 feed of 1.5mm...

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
