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..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
