Oil Squirters

[RedDrifter]

Can anyone recommend where I can go to get Oil squirters fitted to an NA RB25 Block.

A good Machinist should be fine to do this.

Wouldn't it be cheaper/less hassle to just get a DET block in that case?

Yes it would. And if the engine is not assembled with the turbo pistons in place, it is almost impossible to get the positioning right as a flat surface needs to be machined, hole drilled, thread tapped.....then you gotta get 6 oil squirters. Sounds like a head-f**k to me. Get a DET block as suggested

I already have PM'd you. I will be having a look the block this week or next Saturday.

Time depending.

Yeah that was my thoughts too after looking into it.

I am most likely going down the path of the DET block. The only issues I see is that the Oil Gallery for the VVT that I will not be using will be to be welded or Grub screwed (No biggy) but the Water gallery for the VVT block (near the VVT Oil gallery) is different to the Non VVT head (The one I have) This may need to be welded in parts and then re-machined die grind-ed to suit..

See pics on the first page.

It should be ok but I still needed to ask the question to see if the oil squirters could be done correctly?

The Permaseal MLS Gasket (on their website) is the same part number for both R32 and R33 RB25 tells me that it may be OK to use (This could also be a web site screw-up though). It looks like the actual sealing part of the gasket will go around both water galleries sizes .

I will check this once I get my hands on a DET Block to determine my options.

Thanks.
