Ringlands of the piston will most likely be cactus I'm afraid.

Unless your motor has lots and lots of kms on it the factory nissan rings will last quite alot longer without losing compression.

You say the engine has been 'tuned' to 300rwkw. Do you have a dyno readout with the AFR's, RB25's need to run on the rich side of 12 to be save at higher boost due to having some decent compression ?

The other thing is that a 550hp fuel pump (I'm guessing walbro) is a tad small for 300rwkw given drivetrain losses. That sails very close to the wind. If you had a partially blocked fuel filter you could lean the motor out. At 412rwhp or 307rwkw figure that pump maxes out assuming it's going to even get 550hp worth of fuel in at the fuel pressure you are running.

Sorry mate. Sounds like rebuild time. At least you can put some forgies in there to handle the power better next time.

the motor has dun 175,000klms.... please say just the rings....

Thats alot of kms. However, the shear amount of oil going in to the catch can, the fact that the fuel pump is smallish, there wasn't a gradual increase in oil catch and it showers everyone in oil if you floor it means busted piston.

It's all over my friend. A compression test will show you the money very quickly. If you don't have a guage a cheap one can be bought for $30 from somewhere like supercheap auto.

have to agree totally with rev, its either rings gone (DEFINITELY more than 1), ringlands or the pistons themselves. If it were just a single ring it would take a little while to fill the catch can...

rebuild time, but definitely a comp test and possiblly a leak down will show the true colours of your problem!!!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
