hi guys..

when i had the intake pipe removed and saw the dirt on the TB, i've decided that i wanted to clean it.. after removing the TB from the inlet manifold, i've also noticed oil/dirt inside the inlet manifold.. is this normal? is there a way of cleaning it?

can anyone explain this to me?.. im just a lil' worried..

i had rough idling before due to faulty coils but i've fixed that and replaced the spark plugs as well.. apart from that, the car is running fine..

tnx guys..

ive had this before, also noticed mine when replacing coils and plugs, i also thought it was a worry but car runs mint, i asked around here and everyone said it was common/normal, although im still not sure why or how is gets there

tnx guys for your inputs..

i was lookin thru n/a section last nite and there was a similar issue with a guy who's got a 34.. if that was pretty normal then im at ease to know/for now..

as for your question Eug, i didnt replaced my intake pipe but i did attached a pod filter a couple of months after i got my car..

the hose running out of the top of the engine is feeding the intake oil and fumes. If you have a look at the stock air intake you would have seen a big empty box after your filter box, that was to catch the oil dripping out of the engine. If you replaced it with a straight through pipe you have now allowed it to be sucked straight into the manifold etc. Only way around it is to get an oil catch can.

i see.. i understand it now :) .. but wouldnt it be weird if i put an oil catch can in my n/a engine? i thought that oil catch cans are most useful for turbo/high performance cars?

is there a lot of sau members out there with an oil catch can in their n/a engine?

Some racetracks/events don't allow cars to compete if they don' have one because they don't want oil on the track. Hence why only turbo/high performance cars have them coz they are the ones that usually drive on the racetracks lol..

And i'm pretty sure oil and oil fumes would lower the octane rating of the fuel or something, and also restricting airflow through the manifold and hot air (oil fumes) would surely suck the engine of Horse power :)

Just to correct you there. The empty box you are refering to is a resonator which muffles intake noise as well as adds power to an n/a setup (I know it may seem wierd) - but it has nothing to do with catching oil.

Some n/a guys on this forum have used oil catch cans - but the advantages are quite small for a stock n/a. I was contemplating this idea but its not worth the cost unless you are really driving hard (on the track of course) or if you have a turbo setup.

:P for that info R34 -_- .. i'll look into that.. i might invest on one l8r down the road.. just currently replacing my rocker gasket and cleaning my aac valve (i think).. also cleaning the TB..

thank u again :)

no it doesn't i already answered the question before, it comes out of the one way valve sitting on the top of the engine, there's a black hose coming out of that valve that joins into your air intake pipe, the oil comes out of the valve and into the pipe, due to air flow it is sucked through the intake and into the combustion chamber where it is burnt and turned into exhaust gas.

      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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
