Hi Guys

I have a major problem here, there is oil coming out of my SSQV's. It only started happening recently about 2 weeks ago. I dont have a catch can and the original piping is still inplace meaning that the pressure from the cam covers still goes into the intake.

The car is a 1992 GTR with about 130 XXXkm's on it, it has been modified with 2860 -5, power fc D-jetro, Sard 700cc, Bosch 040, N1 oil pump. The parts have only recently been put on around 110 XXXkm's.

Does anyone have an idea as to way this is happening?

I have come up with a few idea's of my own which are: oil pumps pressure release valve is stuck, blown a cylinder or blown a seal on the intake side of one of my turbos.

Cheers

i have some oil marks on the trumpets of my atmo bov

been there since i bought the car and hasnt caused any problems.

id guess its just excess oil finding the closest way out. ive been told a catch can can fix the problem.

i had a catch can recirculating into the intake for about a year, just pulled all my intake piping off and intercooler to find it all lathed in oil.

Cleaned them all up and bam car feels great, clean pipes and intercooler really make a difference to intake temps.

So i have removed the hose from the catch can to the intake and its just venting into the atmo which is illegal but the way ive done it looks like its going into the sump.

Well the oil that is coming out is being sprayed onto the front of the front bumber and down the side of the front bumber.

The thing that worries me is that there was no oil coming out when i put the SSQV's on in the first place but after some time it just started to blow oil.

Well it probably wouldnt be the pressure release valve in the pump, otherwise youd have huge oil pressure and wouldve popped an oil seal in the engine out by now.

Were the -5s new? If in bad condition could be the seals like you said, but probably not.

Check the pipe that goes from the P/S rocker cover to the intake pipe, see how much oils in there. If theres heaps, could be a ringland or something.

Check compression.

Typical scenario with old-modified RBs :D

Aside from what others have said....it also depends on how hard you were pushing the car....street or track. The first time I went to Sandown in the R without a catch can I had oil leaving the BOVs and spitting onto my front right tyre....not great for grip :D Fitted a catch can, cleaned the intake and the oil never reappeared.

mate i had the same problem before my motor gave way would love to know what the problem is to!!!

also i have twin HKS SSQ's to mine was spraying on to the back of my front bar then drips man i would suggest to take it to someone asap man my oil pump was f*ked or something not 100% man

Fit a catch can, a temp home made one or an ebay special that doesn't vent back to intake and it will tell you one way or the other if its turbos or not.

If the oil stops coming out the BOV's and the can fills up then its coming out the breathers. Vice-versa and its the turbos.

I also noticed my catch an would fill up when driving hard. With the rb's issue with oil pooling in the head and the cam covers sitting on an angle, every time you corner hard around a right hander it must just spew it out very quickly.

Femno - the turbo's are brand new also will do a comp test when i get home, i hope its not a ring land :)

Ant97GTR - Well it started happening after a run at the drags, luckly i am not getting oil on the tire as yet

K1ngtr - the oil pump is brand new

fatgts-r - yeah just brought a catch can will be fitting it when i get home, i hope this tells me where to start looking.

I was also thinking of fitting the trust oil restrictor (the one that sits in the head) what do you guys think? will this help my situation?

just take it somewhere man i left it and my motor went... cuz the oil leaked out slowly and caused major damage as long as you know the problem check your oil levels and do something aobut it you should be fine.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
