So just chasing some advice.

R32 running RB25DET

T04E highmounted.

Car started burning oil.

Compression tested all 6 read around 160

Cleaned PCV still no luck.

tried thicker oil.

Assumed it was the turbo so i had it rebuilt.

Refitted all ok. Car still burns oil and is getting worse.

Disconnected breathers and started engine.

Intake side has no air movement.

However exhaust breather chuffs like a steam train.

Does this sound like valve stem seals to anyone or have a smashed something ?

Car burns oil pretty much from cold driving. more so under boost.

Any ideas ?

are the breathers sucking or blowing at idle? one way valve disconnected/blocked when testing?

one way valve disconnected. intake no movement at all. exhaust side blowing at idle.

Also car still pulls hard no miss firing etc etc

sounds like the cross over may be blocked if the intake side seems like "nothing" and outlet is pumping it out...

this is with all breathers disconnected and the exhaust side just venting at idle. so in this case the cross over pipe between both rockers isnt attached.

Note this was only for testing of course.

tried both under driving conditions. no change

Its been bugging me for months. I have a R34 4 door daily and been busy at work so i havent been able to play with my r32 for a while.

So i really appreicate the responses. Its been doing my head in lol.

Yep tried both during my tests at idle.

i have tried everything you guys have suggested so far in the past with no luck.

I have another engine lined up worse case senario. But who doesnt wanna save some money if its something like stem seals?? lol

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
