ok cut a long story short.

rb25det 350rwhp 20psi kkr480 turbo done 50,000kms or so since new.

ive been running no bov for pretty much the whole 50,000kms.

ive notice last few months if i bring it on boost 20psi and as soon as i back off it will dump some oil out the rear, wont do it driving normally or idling.. just after a big compressor surge ...

if fitted up a greddy bov just before throttle body. anyway basically its stoped the oil dump after a big decel from what i could see atleast.

could the compressor surge be causing the oil 2 get past the seals and out the exhaust?

i hate bov's i really really do..id rather not run one.. car seems 2 come on alot harder/better without any bov..

i just get fu k ed off with the oil smoke after a i get into it. embarrasing haha.

any ideas? or could it be my motor?

If you have in and out shaft play then it is the turbo. Or check oil drain pipe make sure its not kinked and engine is not over filled.

engine is not over full, only done oil change 200kms ago.

oil return line isnt kinked either.

took 4 a spin just before tightened the bov right up.

20psi right under it and backoff it dropped a puff of oil smoke hrmm

Could it be the PCV or crank case breather? Are you running a catch can?

There is a lot of manifold vacuum at close of throttle, it could be related to that.

PCV isnt hooked up

breathers are running back into the intake pipe.

Get a catch can on it. My RB25/30 was dumping alot of oil out the breathers on back off on the dyno...

Also found it severly breathing oil on the track though too...

mite get a bit of oil in intake and front cover of turbo after 5000kms and hard thrashing

mite try just venting the breather with a filter.

Put a catch can on, and plumb it all in properly.

This is what they're for!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
