Hey guys well i have a rb25 powered patrol, going the 30DET root. I have the block here and the head. Heads off tomorow to get get the oil gallery plugged up. I need oil restrictors for the head yes? Where do i buy these from? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Yes ive searched and searched. But there are so many different opinions as to what head gasket i should go? Can someone link me to one so i can go ahead and purchase. Ive heard i should go ones thats got built in o rings?

Thankyou. I have about 3 guides im reading in front of me.

Keep in mind i live in a country town and there are no such places as performance engine builders. Ive found one place that will screw the hole up in the head

Thanks Zac

I got my restrictors from Lewis Engines. Ebay has a NZ place selling them super cheap : http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=oil+restrictors+RB30&_sacat=0

I used 2 x 1.3mm restrictors and still ended up with oil in the catch can with 80psi of oil pressure above 5k.

If you're using an external oil feed for the VCT, I would suggest maybe going slightly smaller. Just my opinion, but there is a huge thread on oil restriction.

Regarding your second post - you MUST run restrictors no matter what. I didn't with my first build, and there was oil f**ken everywhere lol

So do you reckon i should go 1mm or 1.2mm? Later on ill be runner a bigger garret turbo and say around 14PSI.

Im currently reading the 357 page thread and i think im confusing myself more and more. Hence why i created this thread.

Will the standard rb30 oil pump be suitable? I plan on rev limiting it to 7k maybe even 6.5k. Also should i go a standard rb26 head gasket? 1.2mm i belive they are?

Thanks heaps for your reply mate, we have no performance shops here so yous are my best help.

I can sell you 2 x 1.0mm restrictors. That's what I have in my RB30/25 (with VCT).

Hey guys well I bought a rebuilt rb30/25 that's already assembled. Just bare engine. The heads s2 but doesnt come with coils or anything and my old s1 engine comes with nearly brand new coils ect. So can I just swap all that over to turn it into a S1

    • See my post here If you put the Haltech in, you won't have to worry about any of that. And, in case you're worrying about my lack of credentials in doing your exact swap, I put a Neo in an R32. There has never been a stock boost solenoid near my car and the Neo's ECU has never cared. Nor should it, because it is electronically impossible for it to care.
    • That's 100% wrong. Did you wire in the boost sensor? If you did not, then that is 101% your answer. Neo ECUs do suck a bit.
    • Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.
    • interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.
