Whoops, yes i did mean catch can, corrected it now. Yes i understand that now. The two goals are to reduce the amount of oil entering the head, and equalize crankcase pressure. The oiling issue is s

I ran my set up right up to 8800rpm at 2 bar (740rwhp) around the track with sticky R-comps the other night and not a drop out of the catch can. This is with no oil restrictors to the head and a stoc

Narrow it down to ill be setting pressure to 70-65psi

Narrow the restritors to

Leave VCt, 1.3mm in the other two

Or

Leave VCt, 1.5mm and block rear, (or should this be block middle 1.5mm rear)

Abr33 are you running a head drain? Also are you running bigger sump with extended pickup?

Doesnt really matter which oil feed gets blocked, it all runs a common gallery for lifters...

I have a gated and baffled sump that I made with better pickup, holds bit over 7 litres. If you need pics I think I put them up several pages back or can send more.

And have a rear head drain/vent also enlarged oil return channels and drilled return holes to 9mm. Also running front of sump to cam vent but will send it to a can soon.

Don't block the rear oil feed it does matter, block the centre at 75 to 85 psi max hot oil pressure if you leave the front restrictor std (which if you want the VCt to operate you should) and block the centre then reducing the rear to as little as 0.9mm combined with using a high volume pump so as oil pressure at idle is 30 psi or greater hot the lifters won't rattle.

So many mixed story's, this thread has a graph on the first page and that says to block the rear?

Fine on a gtr head with solid lifters and no VCt. You have VCt and hydraulic lifters yes? Then don't block the rear, your engine builder would know this if they don't be concerned, mention loss over distance and gauge the response , trust me block the rear and the lifters at the rear of the head will define it for you.

Yeah running hydraulic lifters and VCt, the engine builder didn't wanna put any in for the fact of noisey lifters...

Nitto website says dual spring crack off is 120psi... Single spring crack off is 75psi??

Should I do the single spring to give me the 75psi if this is max?

Hello all.

I've searched but havent found the answer I'm looking for....

My motor is a Stock S2 RB25DET, standard bottom end and oil pump. But has Tomei Poncams and Hi flow OP6 turbo.

Its only street driven but with occasional drags.

What restrictors should I fit.

SK has said Leave VCT, block center and 1.5mm for rear.

From my searching I have found that the standard RB25DET restrictors are already 1.5mm. So all I need to do is block the center one?

Or is there no point in even removing the head to just to block off one restrictor with a stock motor?

Cheers

I am getting a bit of oil through my cooler piping etc as its running the stock breather hoses off the rocker covers.

Will look at a catch can.

Btw motor is out of the car at the moment, hence why I'm thinking of pulling the head to do the restrictors...

Hi everyone my name is stef..I hope someone can offer me some advice as I have read this hole thread from start to finish!

I'm in the middle of a forged rb25det build with an n1 oil pump.. After reading this thread I have come to the conclusion that I need to leave the vvt, block the middle and restrict the rear to 1.5mm. Now upon stripping the engine which I believe has been untouched I have found that all three restrictor a are 1.2mm which has now confused me lol..should I still block the middle supply and drill the rear out to 1.5mm? Thanks for any help

Regards

Stef

Yeah I just got the head off mine this week. The front vct is 1.5mm and the other 2 are 1.2mm

Motor is a S2 RB25DET from a 95 R33.

So should I just put in 2x 1mm?

Depends on what pump you are using. I have an N1 pump RB30 block S2 head and I'm successfully using 2 x 1mm restrictors (street. track and to come - drags).

      Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".

      appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
