Looking for thread on RB25DET oil starvation.

[Thomas]

I searched with those terms, but couldn't find anything!!

There was a thread on RB25DET oil starvation, and how to fix it. Well, fix it.... it was a bit more technical then that, but still....

Could anyone repost the link if they know what I'm talking about?

Asking on the wrong forum, on here the way to fix RB issues is to toss them in the bin and fit a JZ

I thought pretty much all engines suffered from the oil getting sucked up into the head at extreme rpm unless they have a baffled sump..etc?

Or are you just bein' sarky

yeah they suffer from them, but RB's are the only one out of the box explode because of it lol.

Yes,
The the S15 having munched three already is a testiment to there greatness. JZ engines are not the be all and end all of the tuning world. The "fit a JZ" argument is simply retarded, re-gurgitated internet bolocks that's been spread by people who have never properly tuned RB engines.

Ultimatly, it's the US drivers and forums that have lead this charge. Simply put, JZ engines are outragiously cheap in the United States. Do you know how much an RB25/RB26 cost over there?

The price of the R33 GTST seems to be coming down now and therefore the cost of RB25 engines I imagine, generally I will lurk and only listen to a few people on here because the internet as you say is full of shit for the most part.
