Hi there guys, i need some help!! I have a r32gtr and it has aftermarket turbos injectors computer etc and i was giving it heaps in 2 wheel drive lke reving its tits off and i pulled up in the garage and popped the hood and there was oil everywhere, I freaked out and did not know what to do. I looked at the dip stick and it was sticking out a little and the oil was all around that area and the engine bay. What does this mean????

1 Maybe too much oil in the car

2 No catch can fitted

3 What happens when you rev the shit out of these engines

I dont know can anyone help me please???

sound like a over pressurized sump to me. 2 things would have happened, blown rings or ring landings, high reving pressurized sump but little to no damage (very lucky). chuck some more oil in her and if it is still blowing a engine rebuild is needed. could also do a compression test first.

Have went out and given it heaps again and it seems to be fine now, i had it serviced and i think there was too much oil put in it, can it react in this way because the car still has a little over full even after loosing quite a bit of oil, maybe 500ml of it??

yeah it can.. .i've never experienced the dipstick moving, but my oil was overflowing into the catchcan... over 1ltr, so it was spilling out of the catchcan... after a leak down test, it turns out one of the cylinders was less than perfect....

so i'd get it check if i was you... for me it was ONLY happening under hard right hand turns (at a track) so we wouldn't have picked up on it, if not for that!

edit: should add, i had the normal amount of oil in, so maybe it is just excessive oil for you... to be honest, its not something i'd risk... get it checked out!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
