holly crap chad

thats a heap of oil in the IC mate

i have heard of this happening a lot to track cars...

i guess catch can would be a good way to solve this problem...

how does oil get into the air intake system? my guess would be a leak in the turbo section...

-D

yes, but a correctly fitted catch can! I have a link somewhere here in the wasteland.

Chad, heres a pic of an RB25 that represents a decent track setup, open to atmosphere.

so my catch can has two hoses, both connected to each cam cover (replacing the U shaped pipe) so ill be blocking the positive crankcase ventilation valve (so the pcv valve isnt open off boost, sucking air through the catch can) and inlet to turbo from the cam cover.

Yay ... I get to pour more foundations this weekend for my house extension :) The extension is 9.7m x 10.6m, just to give you an idea of the steel frames being erected. Finished off the first frame (there are four) Wednesday night, and its dead straight and level. So glad my surveying skills work eh :)

Tonight I move the gazebo and clothes line. Tomorrow I bore the holes and erect another frame. Hope to have all the framing done this weekend. Roof up next weekend ;)

So thats the plan for the next week, including my mountains of TAFE work, homework and work work! :O

When there's quite a bit of blow-by.

If you're going to have an atmospheric catch can set up be sure to have a suitable baffle that can absorb oil well so as to minimise the amount of oil that will layer your engine bay.

you really like to erect things :)

My erections are so big, I need council approval before beginning ;)

they'll never approve it, your erection is more than 2 storeys high in a zoned residential area

with an erection that big you should have bought in an industrial zoned area

I can have an erection 2 storeys high in a residential area, so long as there are no overlooking issues, and I keep my erection setback from the boundary by at least 900mm. I must also maintain over 100m2 of open space in my back yard, so my erection doesn't get in the way of play space.

However, my erection may raise (no pun intended) overshadow issues with our eastern neighbour. He might not approve of my erection. So it will have Category 2 building approval for an erection of this size :wave:

suprised you didn't make a thread about it :P

I was going to. But it doesn't fall into the category of child birth, or jokes, or villis, or birthdays, or stereo installs, or holidays, or long weekends ... All my threads get closed nowdays anyway. :wave:

does your erection need to be at least 1km away from primary schools?

My erection is of a residential nature and the land is therefore correctly zoned to be erected within any proximity of a school (there are two schools less than 200m in either direction from my property). So my building erection is permitted near schools :wave:

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
