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...

If it was a moded gen111 they go hard.

:werd:

i gave one a run with 4 people in it one night.

must have had some $$$ spent on it and close to the 300kw Monaro's spec.

But with few mods they do crank out some good mambo.

I still won but it a bit of a shock from an SS...

Now, the quest for a motor lol

With 2 cracked ring lands (2 pistons but not too bad), poorly sized pistons and rings due to a workshop error I have now discovered and blowing about 400ml of oil into the catch can per 15min on track in the wet I still had enough mumbo to spin up fourth at 180kmh.

The first pistons I did due to the turbo I cracked 4 and one had 35mm of rings and lands just gone....drove for another 2500km and still making great power but the dipstick was held in with a spring and the catch can kept filling super fast. Daily drain effort. RB's are an impressive engine and take some punishment.

Get the leakdown and compression test ASAP

I Have already booked my car in for a compression test. Kinda sus as to why it is doing it, I haven't thrashed it, and before me it didn't have too many mods. The only thing I can think of is that, just before I bought it(like 2 days) the guy put a new bigger highflowed turbo on. I didn't boost it at all because I was sus to the standard fuel pump, and I had suspicions that it wouldn't be able to keep up to the demand even on low boost, my suspicions were confirmed on the dyno.

I can only thing that maybe, the guy before me had given it a thrash before handing it over, and run lean and encountered some detentation. I so hope not but it is the only thing I can think of, becasue I treat my car with the upmost respect, and never leave things to chance.

I had a similar thing happen last weekend, I was doing some 1st-4th gear runs and when I got back there was oil all over the engine, basically the N1 oil pump was working so well it filled up the tappet covers and oil then came out from the breather pipes to the catch can and when that filled up then oil sprayed out the top of the catch can! Very scary though...

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
