hey

i recently had a engine rebuilt cos some dick put a screw in my wastegate breather instead of chucking it onto cooler piping and ye fried all piston rings. Now since the upgrade every now n e then when i put my foot down a little the turbo is mass lagging and my blitz ssq is now jammed cos of oil. Im thinking cos the turbo wasnt replaced there is a problem maybe with the oil seal. Just a second opinion. Ive checked radiator and oil no milky shit in there so i know pistons etc r all good.

If anyone could give me a clue as to what it could be would be appreciated.

Also, when i first start the car and warm it up the blitz goes off when i change first to second...... after that nothing at all...... just flutter........

im running R33 series 1.5 boost controller and straight pipes with blitz nur spec R tip... so ye stocker

thanks

What do you mean by wastegate breather?

Doubt its your turbo, when the oil seal goes on those it leaks on the exhaust side so it will just make you blow clouds of smoke.

If your cooler piping is full of oil it could be two things.

-If the first motor had signficant damage and it was "breathing" it would of filled up your intercooler and piping with oil. Once they rebuilt the engine they might of cleaned the piping but overlooked the intercooler which may have 500mls of oil pooled inside. So your driving around and the engine is still sucking oil out of the cooler. FIX: Take the cooler and piping off, give it a decent degrease and let it drain for 24hrs.

OR

-Your current engine didnt have a very good rebuild and is breathing hard. By breathing i mean the ventilation hoses coming off the cam covers going to your intake is pouring oil throughout the system. Are you running a catch can? FIX: rebuild engine with correct specs

Basically if it was mine, i would dodge up a little catchcan and connect it straight to the breather hose and drive it around for a day (giving it a bit of stick). If you fill the can up its the engine. If it only has a slight drop or a mist of oil then the oil in the piping is from the old engine so nothing to worry about. If thats the case clean the cooler and piping. Either way definately have a chat to the people that rebuilt the engine and let them know whats going on.

hey....

thanks for the info...... i installed a front mount and after looking at the stock cooler saw that it was filled with oil of about 3 cm from bottom..... after connected everything and starting her up i let the ecu adapt to it and took it for a drive.... runs fkn sick.... not lagging at all.... thanks for that appreciated.......... cheers
