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:

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
