Hi. It seems the car is not ok after all... Two days ago when I took the car on track and drifted with it, the extreme oil consumption started again. A lot of oil is blowing out of the blow off valve, and oil coming in the intercooler/air intake pipes. Also there is some smoke from the exhaust (white/blue) when changing gear and when letting of the throttle pedal, not visible in the rear mirror, only when watching outside behind the car...

I took a compression test while the engine was cold, and all cylinders had good compression (150psi), except for cylinder #2, that was only 60psi.

So my question is, could the low compression on cylinder #2 cause all this oil blowing out of the engine? Or is it the turbo I recently fitted faulty ? :happy:

I hope I can hear yours opinions, thanks in advance.

It turned out it was worse than cracked rings, four of the pistons had cracks around them :P

Next time I will be more carefull when buying a used car that was used for drifting :)

Lucky for me that my dad is mechanic, so he can rebuild the engine without costs except for new parts..

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
