Really, how do you ensure all the water is out?

I would have thought you use something that mix's with oil, once flushed run some cheap oil through it, drain it and then put the good stuff in.

you just turn the engine on, when it heats up the water dries...duh!!

my neighboor came over earlier and he undid the bolt undeneath and we drained the oil out then i used the hose to flush the oil out and squired in some washing up liquid to clean it out then flushed it again and after a while only clean water came out. now im trying to dry the water so it doesnt rust and im using my mums hairdryer, how long do you think it will take to dry out and what oil should i put in?? thanks i took a photo alsopost-80834-0-85379300-1296008622_thumb.jpg

It's good you have a responsible adult helping you. Scissors can be very dangerous.

As far as oil goes? I'd recommend your mum's Singer Sewing machine oil or Johnson's Baby oil.

:wacko: Good luck with that...

what a joke. do some reading before you touch mechanicals. ie Google if you dont know what the F you are doing.

get 2litres of kerosene and 2litres of methylated spirits, mix together in a bucket, flush the engine with the 4lt mix. Let it drain thru. let it dry for a cple hours.

then buy 5litres of $20 cheap oil and an engine oil flush additive (around $15 from a auto store). pour all this in.

run the engine for 10mins, IDLING only. No foot on accelerator.

then drain again, and fill with good oil, 5litres of Castrol Edge Sport 10/40, or Motul 300v, or Royal Purple, a decent oil worth around $75-$100 for the 5litres.

Dont skimp on the above.

Do as I suggest and you should be ok. Water in the engine is just stupid. Clean it out with kero/metho, then flush with cheap oil/oil flush additive, then replace with new fresh top brand oil.

hi im gonna buy some oil later but im not sure what to get and i dont have much money at the momant should i make sure the car is gonna work ok first before buying oil my neighboor is at work today so cant help me, i need to get this sorted today. thanks

Just tell your brother you dimwit!

it is plausable for someone to be so stupid, I've heard it happening before.

so if your serious, before you eff shit up even more, cut up some car wash sponges into little cubes and put it in the HKS cap part. You need to get all the water out first. then start it without oil and all the foam should come out of the screw hole at the bottom.

Vegetable oil works well, especially if you like the smell of canola

    • Seems to be the case mate , still an OK price for a grey import.
    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
