Common problem, just changed to the shockproof oil a couple of weeks ago and sure enough I have oil coming out of the breather, never had this issue until this oil went in.

Is there a solution to this issue other than changing the oil, seems like a waste of big dollars to dump it for a different brand.

Might try contacting Redline otherwise.

Would be interested to hear what redline have to say about it. By the sounds of it there is something within the oil itself which is causing it to froth up, only solution really is to dump it and get another oil.

That is FALSE - Do not think that extending your breathers will fix the problem.

We extended them higher and longer. It still made it all the way up and 1L would come out on cruise but none on the race track. It was only ever on the way to the race track we would lose that much. It would still lose it in small amounts on the track but not even a fraction in comparison.

They are just avoiding the problem. We moved to a better oil, we no longer have this problem

Hmmm interesting. So what happens when it has "climbed" all the oil out of the box? You have to keep refilling it all the time? Sounds shifty, im still running the oil previously mentioned and have had not 1 drip come out of the breather that i can see.

Yes, we had to keep pumping it back in. Even when it was 1L down, it would still pump it out up 3M of hose that was half a meter higher than the factory point and spit another half litre out into our bottle

We use Royal Purple 75w85 in all the street car stuff and Royal Purple 85w140 in the race stuff

Or Motul Gear Competition on request

im assuming this is in reference to Max-Gear which is suitable for diffs (75W-90, 75W-140, 85W-140 1quart bottles)

for gearbox i only see Synchromax listed but no info on the weights available

also cant find anything on Max-Gear being suitable for LSD

Syncromax is different

Synchromax® is recommended for manual transmissions that specify an automatic transmission fluid or motor oil. It is also ideal for 4x4 transfer cases and / or 2-cycle and 4-cycle motorcycle gear boxes.

And yes - Max Gear is suitable for LSD

Righto,

fears are confirmed.. THERE IS f**kIN OIL EVERY!!!, seems to only happen on longer trips EG 100km plus.. anyway

the redline light shock proof is absolutly pissing out the breather, not going to risk spending that much money again. Dont really care if it was a bad batch. Going to change to something else..

probably RP or Motul like Elite has recommended

cheers

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
