I hope your running a baffled sump and oil cooler.

Hyundai's have a notorious oil starvation problem at high revs (ie 10,000 RPM)

I recommend Motul 300V engine oil, sure 5 litres will cost you 10% of the cars market value, but its worth it for peace of mind.

dude going by the previous thread you start, oil is the LEAST of your problems. one would think you woulde just asked your trusty mechanic when you were in there a couple of days ago...???

oh, but which oil?

Canola.

Preferably crisco - you just cant trust the bilo and generic brands to give your car the protection it deserves.

If by that you mean hurling a rod through the side of the block problem is caused by oil? Most of the time I've seen it done its because someone in a Hyundai thought they where in the WRC. :P

Theyre not bad little cars for what they are and what they cost, provided theyre just used for the purpose theyre made for, which is just tootlin' from A-B and not being f**ked like like its the only bit of tail the owner is ever going too get.

Ok,

After great thought i have come to a conclusion.

I think you need external combustion for your car...

So pour the oil over the hyundai and lite it.... :P:(

This will protect all us from seeing it on the road again.

Cheers

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
