Rb26dett - Oil In Turbo, Intercooler, Spark Plugs !?

Hi guys, here is a chain of events of my problem :

1)Experienced misfiring/engine stalling but no BLUE smoke.

2)Checked plugs to find them all oily.

3)Compression test OK.

4)Removed stock airbox - MAF sensors, Filter, Hoses all oily.

5)Removed hose at Turbo compressor to find a pool of oil contained there (refer to diagram).

6)Removed intercooler pipes - more oil flooded in there.

7)Removed Turbos to check - exhaust side is DRY.

8)Blowby control valve - need to check?

9)Turbo oil supply/return pipelines, hoses - OK, no blockage.

Engine is FULLY a stock setup (including crankcase vent. hoses and PVC etc.) except for the N1 oil pump and Tomei oil restrictor in the Block.Prior to the rebuild, piston #5 and #6 cracked, and I forgot to check whether that could cause a residue of oil in the intercooler, which I did not drain out.First thing came to my mind was that the Turbo SEAL could be defective, but on the other hand, the exhaust wheel is DRY.

Secondly, would the residual oil in the intercooler be re-circulated back to the intake/turbo??

Lastly, I suspected that the oil could leak past the new piston rings but that would be very unlikely because compression test passed and the exhaust ports on the cylinder head are dry.

I am desperately seeking ANY help or useful INFO out there,and I really don't know what else to check or do because I just bought the car. Thanks a million and I would greatly appreciate it...

Check item 8 first. Make sure the thing works properly or you will have the problems you described. A failed blowby control valve will allow oil to get into the turbo compressor housing & leak onto the exhausts after a while. So, does the thing stink of oil when you are waiting at the traffic lights?

But yes if you cracked two pistons & didn't clean anything afterwards you may well have left over oil in the system. However it shouldn't take too long to for it to disappear. Mostly it just leaks out of the bov's.

Thanks for all the valuable advice and suggestions...I disassembled all the piping and cleaned out the entire system...plenty of residue oil in the recirculation tube! After flushing and checking everything mentioned, my engine now runs normally again. I am monitoring for any blowby in the meantime but have not yet fixed the oil catch tank...until really necessary.

I noticed this with my R33.. never thought anything of it, but have recently installed a catch can (blocked PCV and breathers vented to can) I cant say i recall smelling it anymore! Maybe mine was broken too.

I don't understand why people want to block up the blowby control valve when they fit a catch can. If it is done properly you still retain the functionality of the valve.

What if its broken?

I bought the can from RIPS in NZ, and they have alot of huge powered Skylines, i think a 1100HP Street legal R34 too. So i trust their methods :wacko:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
