HR31-PASSAGE Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Hey guys just had my rb30 bottom end freshened up 2 weeks ago, it's all run-in now with fresh penrite hpr10 (15w50) now the issue is oil pushing into my catch can when boosting/high rpm. I have a 1.5mm restrictor in the block & the back one blocked off. I had my catch can draining back to the sump with the 2 the rocket cover lines going into the catch can & another line going to the turbo intake with a 3mm restrictor, when I had this set up it was blowing ashit load of smoke so I've not blocked the line off to the turbo into & run the catch can oil drain into a bottle to catch any excess oil but it's pushing it out hard & making a oily mess. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Done a comp test & it's all within 130-150PSI Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446695-rb2530-oil-issue-pushing-oil-out-the-catch-can/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 How exactly is your catch can plumbed? Including where is the return located. Have you read the oil control thread?

HR31-PASSAGE Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 2 rocket covers go to the top of the catch can, then I have 1 on the side towards the top going to the turbo intake pipe. Drain I have a fitting on the sump. Previously before the freshen up I had it T into the turbo return line on the block & wasn't having this issue Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446695-rb2530-oil-issue-pushing-oil-out-the-catch-can/#findComment-7363257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 So where on the sump is it now returning? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446695-rb2530-oil-issue-pushing-oil-out-the-catch-can/#findComment-7363277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C34 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 My guess is know in the inlet side? Why not change it back to how you had it working nicely?

HR31-PASSAGE Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 It's on the hot side around 30mm below the top of the sump. I had to change my turbo drain line as it was f**ked so got a new one made to suit without the T Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446695-rb2530-oil-issue-pushing-oil-out-the-catch-can/#findComment-7363498 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR31-PASSAGE Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 So I took out the 3mm restrictor off the line that goes to the turbo intake & it's not blocking smoke so that's a start will keep an eye on passing oil into the catch can Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446695-rb2530-oil-issue-pushing-oil-out-the-catch-can/#findComment-7365200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
