hey guys yesterday i was takn off my afm to replace the pod filter. and noticed a bit of oil on d lip of d afm. i know al of u r gna say its a bit of blow by so instal a catch can. but 2 mechnics have previously told me my turbo sounds unhealthy as it makes a whining noise. could the bit of oil in d pipe that conects to d afm be caused by the turbo? or would it definately be blow by?

also there is no oil in d bov or its hot pipe, in case dat helps

thanx

zack

k&n is oil based. so it could be that if it was a small amount.. if you have cleaned it and put too much oil it will get caught in the air flow meter. so yeah jus use some electric contact cleaner on ur afm and you'll be sweet.

but not being a mechanic, not to sure on the turbo theory you have been given, im sure other people would be able to give some info though :laugh:

thing is d oil came from d pipe dat d afm conects to. not d actual pod. or so i think nyway

If your turbo is making a whinning noise it sounds like it could be on its last legs. An oil seal may have gone which is allowing oil to travel back up your intake pipe. Do you have oil after the compressor as in the intercooler pipe?

Also please type english it makes helping you alot easier.

how do you even say that? onestly? did you make that up? i bet you did.

and what does 'i THINK i DEFINITELY' mean?

if u gna cum to dis flamin mongrelry lern 2 speek da propa england ya bloody immigant.

why do you always need confirmation? 2 turbo specialists told you your turbo was rooted. your cylinder pressure is good AND you got oil in your cooler piping.

    • 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.
