Ok people, this is damage controll, I went drifting at the recent willowbank drift meet....yes im extra smart, stock turbo, stock cooler, stock suspension.....FOURTEEN PSI!@#$ WHOOOPS!!!

<---- there i am at willowbank, see any oil? lololol...."points to avtar"

So anyway, yep, drifting sweet....REDLINE...then I hear SSSPPPRRRAAAAYYY!!!.. i thought my turbo came to bits...so I went into the pits, and here is my dipstick, half hanging out...oil everywhere....look at my bov, oil everywhere....bonnet - oil...lol

so i kept drifting like a true champion would...brrt....and now im gonna pay for it...

can someone tell me the extent of the damage i have prolly done? and what would have broken to let all that oil into my IC piping?

and yes..the night before i changed my oil and put too much in...C.H.A.M.P! replace "A' with "U"

anyone want a skyline? lol....

It could just be that you need a catch can etc.

DJ_lethal has the same problem with his 33.

his BOV leaks oil on and off depending on driving.

But it could just be the turbo has given up the ghost.

Nothing too major i would be thinking

Been here before. Bad news is if your blowing our the dipstick with any regularity it would be blowby pressure causing it, usually associated with broken rings/ring lands from detonation. It blows oil out of the cam covers into the intake, through the compressor, fills your intercooler, into the engine and huge clouds of smoke everywhere. Also would be coming out your BOV.

Diagnosis....get a leakdown test/compression test and be prepared to order new pistons, rings and engine machining.

Sorry to really cruel the buzz. You should look into the cause of the detonation. Mine was a compressor seal leak that dumped in oil at hight load causing the detonation but the result is the same.

Seen an RB20DET blow it oil seals before and have the same sorta effect, oil everywhere and give it a rev and it blows out of the bov. I was expecting it to have more damage but once I replaced the turbo on it (and put the 3ltrs (!) of oil it had blown out of it back in) it ran fine, didn't blow out the dipstick any more either much to my suprise. So you might be lucky and just need another turbo... or at worse you might need a new motor... Have fun...

Umm, im not 100% sure but what i do know is that it is a Shell product with no synthetics and its got 50+ viscosity? I got it off my mechanic who is sponcerd by shell...he uses it in his 2004 sti wrx in the ARC...so i figured my engine might like it ;) obviously not if its spitten it up... haha.

umm yeah about blowing out the dipstick...

I have had this problem ever since my car was TUNED, by a specific Performance place. It had never done this before, however now it does. As soon as I saw the dipstick had "popped up" I thought bad stuff, and yeah I had sat down and thought about it and come to the conclusion that it must be shot rings to allow the blow-by to pressurise the sump and blow out the dipstick.

I was worried, but I thought that it may also be because The oil breather line was not plumbed into the intake, it was just cut off and blocked, installed oil catch can and yeah it still blows out.

The mods I have are: FMIC, Button clutch (great for skids) 600hp in tank pump, SAFC, And the turbo is a T3 highflow. It is making 205RWKW on 15psi. If my rings were blown would it still be making this power? No oil smoke when dumped/revved or anything, just runs like a dream. should I notice anything in particular? By the way this has been going on for 6 months and no drop in performance. Engine has 73,000km on it.

Lol, well i talked to my mechanic friend, seems to him that cus i put too much oil in, and that my rings are most likely warn, that at the tempreature i was drifting in made my oil go too thin and slip past the rings and into the PCV which then put excess pressure on my sump, theirfore creating more pressure on the crank case, causing the blow out and oil in my intercooler piping and bov and what not....my turbo is still boosting....so im thinking that its ok......BUT NEWS JUST IN, I JUST GOT BEATEN BY A VTSS WITH 5 PEOPLE IN IT....this is unheard of......somthing HAS to be wrong....poor me...beaten by a vt....and i even brag about how much i eat them for lunch... he even pretended to row a boat past me when i pretended to whip my hourse....oh the pain, the pain of it all...hahaah...

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
