Hey guys and girls

Today i took my intake pipe off my car to replace my noisy BOV with the standard silent BOV, and as everyone does, i looked around to see if there was anything happening that shouldn't be.

I noticed there was some oil sitting on the bottom of the pipe and over the throttle butterfly!

Question?? What is happening?? i think it could be the gasket has gone on the turbo? or could it be sucking oil out of the engine via the vacumn line from over head the coil pack cover?

Cheers everyone who tries to help and has helped in the past.

i went to markets n bought a cheep shitty oil catch can, then found some old heater hose,

i cut where the blowby pipe thing goes to the intake and put a bolt in the hose, then put the heater hose on the rocker cover thing down to my catch can thats cable tied to my battery

think da pcv valve brings blowby gasses back to the intake manifold 2 b burned off completely. was learning bout it at TAFE last year but correct me if im wrong cuz i cant really remember. it doesnt affect the performance much but letting only fresh air into the intake manifold is always a good thingbut id check to see if its something else dats bringing oil into the intake pipe but most of the time its excessive blowby.

wat is a pcv valve??

Positive Crankcase Ventilation

Very good read

Something Holden engineers should have done a better job of with the old 308

Which is why they always seem to have oil leaks-even not long after new sump gaskets are installed

My god. English please?

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
