na just a good gated sump from asr. i'm not overly thrilled about the extra weight from the extra 2l of oil, so the idea of all the extra weight for 12l of oil and the lines and shit for a dry sump don't make it a good sell..... and i'm being a giant jew.

Funds is the only thing that is stopping it from going again. I've got the new bottom end there ready to go, just need a bash some restrictors in it, and buy a sump.

na, still hydro lifters. Only reason I can see a need for solid lifters would be for bigger cams. But I can't see why you'd ever put bigger cams on a 20, as they came over cammed from the factory.

boost and revs=full catch can. There is a guy down here who circuit races a std RB20, and he won't rev past 6500 with the same boost as me (23psi) because he fills the catch can. The amount of oil that is coming out can't be fixed with catch tank tricks. And for the $30-$40 it's going to cost I thought I might as do it. I'm using SydneyKids specs.

had 263rwkw at the start of the week, 200 - 220rwkw on the new engine (depending on the heat of the engine), then take 5psi of boost off from day 4 onwoods...180kwrw??

E85 did give it a good kick in the pants though. I only tuned the 98ron map on the road, so I don't have a power figure for it.

I was running 24psi and 8000rpm out of my RB20 for a fair while running about the same power as you...

Not a single drop in my catch can and that car got belted the f**k out of it on a stock motor, so maybe the motor is a little loose or tired?

I'm at a bit of a loss to be honest.

I'm struggling to understand how .2 bar can make such a difference. Mine doesn't pump into the catch can either, and I'm not exactly easy on it. Even after 5 days of targa there was still no sign that there'd been oil in the can at any time (I have it so it self recovers if it does pump into the can)...... Hell, #1 piston was half melted away and it still wasn't pumping oil! lol

I'm putting mine back together stock internally, and will be interested to see if a little more boost tips it over the edge.

what thickness oil do you run? I was using Motul 8100 5w-40, but i'm going to goto 25w60. Neither engine was compression tested or leak down tested.

The N1 never has this issue, even with 25psi and a big nitto pump.

Yeh Castrol for all RB20 crate motors :) I have only ever blown oil when there was plenty of limiter action. Bump the limiter a few rpm so i never hit it and no problem. Even the breathing on limiter isnt a common thing, but its about as good as i can do for a reason for the 2-3 times it has happened

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
