WHAT THE???? we just finished install my manual and we took it for a drive and its f*&!*$# awesome!!! but when we came back we found that oil was leaking from somewhere... my car is a gts4 so keep in mind the 4WD stuff. it seemed to be a red liquid but after tightening everthing under the transfer case and checking everthing we found that the oil was coming out of the top of the gearbox where the gearstick is... now does anyone have any ideas on what the hell is going on??? is it too much oil or what because the gearbox feels perfect. it selects gears fine changes fine but as soon as you get under it in second the oil starts the stray up into the car :thumbdwn: :D:D:D NOT COOL!

anyone got any ideas. we just thought it has too much oil and its just getting rid of it but the oil colour is red so .... i don't know. the car isn't being driven until we get this figured out.

I think it was about 3.7 lt or something..

If I remember right, it has a breather pipe that bolts to one of the top bolts that holds the gearbox to the motor. Do you remember seeing the breather pipe?

With the oil level, with the car on flat ground, just fill it up untill it starts coming out of the filler hole.

the box wouldn't go in cos of the spiggot bearing was too big on the inside diameter. so we did something really dodgy. we got another bearing to get the inside diameter found a drill bit that size... $38 later. then drilled out the one that was in there to that size. we actually did i good job of it. looked perfect and there are no noise's or anything.

Lol, that is dodgy man.... did you take measurements of the bearing so that you could get another one so when the current one fails you have you new one to go in?.... thats what I would do, as soon as it gets a bit noisy, change it asap.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
