Vct Oil Drain

[works 510]

Lads,

Just finalising the small bits and bobs of my motor build,

Its a Rb30det using a R33 RB25 head with aftermarket RB20 cams.

As the VCT gear isnt fitted, would blocking the drain line up at the head be harmful?

Just looking for a simpler motor, and if its not needed, it wont be fitted smile.gif

My block also does not have a hole in the block anywhere for a drain fitting.

Thought I'd repost here, as its more RB30 based

Cheers,

are you sure that drain is purely for VCT? afaik its just a front oil drain for the head.

this is the one on the exhaust side yea?

Not entirely sure, hence the question

Exhaust side is correct.

Mine has a T piece merging that with the turbo drain, not ideal but it works.

The offending drain passage

Connect it to the one that is coming out of th eblock straight, just behind the engine mount.

Mine is T'd in like Titans is.

As said not ideal, but works. If you want to, tap it in to the sump.

You WILL need it.

Initially I posted in "forced induction" and thought, 'hey this would be more of a rb30 based question' so posted here.

some discussion in the first thread I started is here:
