hey guys.

i have a r32 gts-t. I have a 25neo turbo on is and a metal intake pipe, but it still has the hose that come off the rocker cover going into the intake pipe.

I opened the bonnet today, and noticed a nicely size pool of oil directly underneith the pod filter. i took the pod off and the inside was covered in oil as well as the AFM. I havnt had this happen before, even on track.

What has caused this and why?

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers, Josh

Thanks for the help guys!

I don't have an oil catch can. I wasn't thrashing it or sitting on high rpm and then looked under the bonnet. Just got up in the morning and went to change my power steering belt. I don't drive it daily either, just had to move it around the driveway yesterday, hasn't received any punishment lately. So it cant be blowby...

Ill take the intake pipe off and have a look, but not to sure what im looking for lol, how do i know if the seals have gone?

If the seals have gone on your turbo the compressor wheel will most likely be drowning in oil.

This may also be the case with blowby so just check the oil breather hose it would be filled with oil if heaps has come through it.

Ok, so i took off all the piping today. The inside of the metal intake pipe is covered in oil, a nice coating. The silicon joiner the connects the mouth of the turbo to the intake pipe has a pool of oil in it. The mouth of the turbo has some oil in it, maybe a teaspoon. The Impeller wheel looks fairly dry, but like i said i havn't really driven it in a while, or given it any shit. So with all this found, plus the oil that has come out of the pod and pooled below it im not too sure what to think....

Would it be blowing white smoke? i started it up and didn't notice any on idle.

Actually no i havnt, ill go do that now.

Im happy and devo at the same time lol. If the turbo has gone, im not going to bother replacing it, as i have been looking for an excuse to put a RB25 in.

but i was hoping to make it to the next drift prc...

Ill be back in 15, and let yous know if i find any oil in the cooler.

Ok well i think that im going to put it all back together now, go for a drive and see if i can see any white smoke coming out of the exhaust.

If there isnt any, does this mean that the seals are still good, and i have some how just had an extreme case of blow by?

Ok what i have done is make a dodgie coke bottle catch can, and blocked off the hole going into the intake. this way i will be able to see if it is actually oil coming out of the turbo, and not get it confused with blow by.

Ok im not to sure whats going on. Like i said i cleaned up all the piping and put it all back on. Then made a dodgie catch can (moved the hose that goes into the intake into a coke bottle), and then went for a spirited drive. Now i would expect after a spirited drive that there would be some oil in the catch can...i got nothing in there, dry as a bone! Also took the intake pipe off again to have a look and cant see any more oil. So i officially have nfi whats going on...

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
