you might have two springs in your pressure regulating valve on the oil pump.

i've noticed in my oil pump that there are two springs in there one is the main spring which controls the pressure and the other one sits inside it and is alot stiffer and a bit shorter than the main one so when its cold or at high revs the main spring compresses and then hits the second stiff spring making the oil pressure skyrocket.

the gallery restictors will be contributing as well.

Cool then.... I'm good to go. I just put a adjustable valve on my oil inlet hoses to reduce the volume going into the turbos. I unhooked them while at idle and let them flow into a cup to measure the oil volume. It was quite abit still, even though I have the restrictors that come in the center section.

After a few spirited runs, it has taken care of the excessive oil flow through the BB turbos...

Its been a little over a year now and she's still running strong.

I have to admitt a boo-boo I did, causing the oil problem I described in the beginning posts. I was having oil coming out the comp housings, and I discovered that I had hooked up a new oil catch can, but did not vent it.

I ran a -10 line from each valve cover to the can only, and the can was not vented.... Doh

So, once I discovered that little screw up, I opened up the catch can, and added a filtered vent and everything cleared up....

Just wanted to update this thread since I've been absent all this time.

Later - and thanks for the help!

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
