I attended a track day a Mallala on Saturday, had an absolute ball. I did however have some issue's.


-My Oil/Air separator would fill in one 15min session(400ml).


-My Atmo BOV's were spitting out so much oil the side of the car was coated.


-After a heavy G-force loaded corner(not the straight) a large puff of smoke would come out the exhaust on gear change


-My dip stick blew out twice


-All of which required the replacement of 4ltrs of oil.\

The car was running 30psi of boost for 40% of the day. I would like to ascertain if my oil control issue's are attributed to blow-by(CP forged Pistons, 1mm oversize valves--with new valve guide's) or incorrect oil/air separator setup for my huge boost levels. I am running a N1 oil pump, big sump and the 1.5mm restrictor in the block has been removed(previously fitted with the std sump).

Plans before the next track day so far are.


-Plumb my catch can into the sump


-run less boost


-heat shrink my dipstick to hold firmer(however I think this is a symptom fix)

oh dear could be a few things but if your bovs are venting oil and your oil air separator is to atmosphere you have turbo issues. if it is recirc you have either oil surge of excessive blow by. the puff of smoke leads me to believe surge but without seeing the car in person it is a guess at best.

^^^ its a bit long winded..... we spin our 350rwkw 26 to 8000 all day long at track days with only sump baffle and head oil restrictors.... most issues are build related like piston to bore clearance and bearing clearance etc....

Well the head restritor is one thing I don't have with my N1 pump, I guess the fix for that without pulling the head is an external drain from head to sump.

just as easy to fit restrictor.... to do the drain properly requires either engine out or head off anyway.

put a filter on the top of your catch can equal to the size of the hoses going to it

i.e 2 2.5cm hoses then 5cm fitting filter

mate did this on his ceffy that use to filer his catch can every three laps of Mallala

and now has no blow by

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
