hi ive got a 1993 r33 gts-t thats auto and ive noticed that when i take the radiator cap off its like a milkshake, ive checked the engine oil on the dipstick and under the filler cap and its all clean, and i took the trans cooler lines off the radiator and hooked them straight to the trans cooler at the front of the motor and flushed the coolant out and refilled it with new coolant. but then it still goes like a milkshake under the radiator cap its had nothing done to the engine still got stock turbo on. the car starts straiht away everytime and it never over heats, and the car still boosts fine a never misses a beat

i was just wondering if anyone would know wat the problem is at all or if anyones had then same problem, or maybe is it possible that coolent and oil could be getting mixed together through inside the turbo, cheers

I dont really know if you have blown a headgasket as I am sure you would be seeing Choco milkshake effect in the engine oil,that and it would be most likely overheat. My guess is that the turbo has shit itself, allowing oil to mix with the water on that end.

Yeah you could be right, but the drain out of the turbo goes back to the block, So it should be contaminated too. When you start the car and leave it running, take the radiator cap off and see if there are any bubbles in the radiator.

Are there any welsh plugs in the block between the oil and water galleries? One of these could be corroded.

I wouldn't continue to drive it though, until you get it checked out.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
