Ok guys i'm having an issue with my rb25/30 ecu map sensor & boost gauge lines are getting oil in them from the plenum. i'm not to sure if its blow by or my oil catch can putting oil through the intercooler piping, i have the catch can drained back to the sump & a line from the top on the can pluming into the turbo air intake (to prevent head pressure build up)

I have one of them mower fuel filters on the lines but oil is still getting through that! now is there another filter that will absorb the oil rather then letting it through the filter?

any help will be great

cheers

Take the line off the intake and put it in a container and see how much oil it collects.

If it is filling with oil you need a better baffled catch can and /or a proper air/oil separator (not a mower fuel filter) either a Nismo item or a properly fabricated one.

If you are worried about excessive blow by get a leak down test.

      Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".

      Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.

      Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.

      Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
