Hi everyone.

Just the latest questions i have on my oil issue where oil is going through the inlet on my rb25det.

Basically as known there are breather hoses which from my own knowledge is to pressurise the sump. now at high boost and rpm there is oil coming through these pipes and its end up leading into the intake pipe which is why everytime i close the throttle its sprays out my BOV.

So i said no problem ill block them off like i have done previously on older cars as these are usually only put there because of ADR rules or similar. so idid and it ended up shooting my plug out due to so much pressure building up and popping it off.

So does this mean i possibly have some dodgy cylinders or a cylinder in the car? cracked rings etc etc. i installed a temp catch can from this breather hose and it fills up pretty easy when u give the car a proper hit. should i purchase a proper catch tank or is my engine stuffed.

If i have missed something please ask for any information u need to help with my problem.

Cheers

Callum

You never plug up the breather hoses otherwise you will overpressurise the crank case and blow seals. What you need to do is install a catch can like you have done, where the oil from the breather hose collects in a can instead of messing up your intake. You might have to do a compression test to see if your motor is still running OK. But it shouldn't fill up as fast as you describe.

RB's breathe heavy at high rpm, so it's not unusual to see oil in the cooler pipes (or filling up catch can) if you've been driving it fairly hard.

like busky2k said, install a catch can, and when you get a chance, do a compression test.

kool. will do. is it normal for the RB's to still run perfectly smooth which a bad compression. at idle it almost sounds like im running a high lift cam and then its clears as soon as u start to bring up the rpm. Is there a good plumb back catch can u guys would reccommend and where can i purchase online?

Cheers for your help.

bad compression can make the car run poorly.

i'd get a compression test done, just so you can rule out that being a problem before you spend money on parts to fix it. No point doing anything if the rings are gone.

ok so lets just say my rings are gone. whats the best option to fix or replace the engine. is it usually best to just get a front cut that looks to be in good condition or would i be better off fixing my current engine up? from what i understand getting to the piston rings means to basically pull the entire engine apart correct?

Cheers buddy

Fix the current engine up.

The front cut replacement may have spun bearings, the works. You never know.

Rebuild is the best bet.

and what kind of prices are we usually looking at for that and a time frame for off the road time? i may be doing it myself but how much does a tuner or whatever charge to do this kind of job?

Cheers for all the help

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
