Deleting Oil Squirters Rb26

[aaroncuddy]

hi there has any1 deleted oil squirters from there rb26 if so what have you done or used to do so and does it raise the oil pressure at all

[Craved]

your oil pressure is regulated by teh relief valve within the oil pump itself, only reason it would raise the pressure would be if there is a problem with your pump.

Why would you consider removing something that people wish they could get installed on the R30 conversions?

you could simply grub screw them as the actual squirters are simply bolted into place!

+1 to Chris's comment: Why do you want them gone?

[Adriano]

Pretty sure the rb26 oil squirters have a valve built into the banjo bolt so they dont open until the oil pressure gets up above 30 psi or so, hence removing them wont increase idle oil pressure.

1 reason for removing them is if you were to rebuild the engine with forgies, with the new pistons you have to take a chunk out of the skirt so they dont foul, ive seen forged pistons come out of an rb26 and the skirts had cracked where the chunk waqqs taken out to accomidate the oil squirters

Can you space the squirters down enough to clear the piston

[Duncan]

pistons made for rb26 have a cutout for the squirters.

[N1GTR]

Yeah just get RB26 specific pistons

They're not expensive

x2 my JE had a cutout for the squirters

[s13_Skyline_inside]

ive seen a set of pistons where all 6 of them had cracks bid and small around the skirts that had developed from the cut out for the oil squirters, mayby these were rb25 pistons that had been modified to fit a 26, i dont know i only saw the results after the engine had gone bang

[Cubes]

Im running rb25 wiseco forged pistons with the cut outs in my rb30.

Its done 80,000km's so far without issues.

I doubt the cut out is the root of all evil otherwise it would be well known.

not all...Mahle pro series dont...sad but true

I've used Mahle pistons for all my upgrades! Damn

if you do remove the squirters is that really bad? what else do you have to do when they are removed?

Nothing, but the point is they are there for a reason. They help remove heat from the pistons and I'd assume aid lubrication?
