Yeah I've degreased and wiped it all down. The only spot that I keep getting oil on the bar with the holes in it and a few drops on the sump. I had it running with covers off and nothing came out. But I think I spilt like half a litre of oil.

Good news about the oil test, that must be a relief!

I can't find a leak. I'm just waiting to see if I am actually losing any oil. Im hoping it's just oil I spilt.

Could it have just been from when you say changed the oil filter? Some usually splashes out then.

It's really weird. Like considering how much oil is under my car I shoul notice a difference. But it's still perfectly on the full line. I might just drive it and see if it keeps happening. I'm going to put my oil pressure gauge in when I get a chance anyway. I don't trust the light.

You have the tools to rebuild an engine but how can you not own a funnel? Or at least a coke bottle with the ass cut off it?

Ok. I'm losing my mind, drove my car to work yesterday, checked the oil at smoko, down 1 litre. Ok fine, rang my wife she went and bought some oil and brought it down to me, put half a litre in. Get home have dinner, check oil and it's half a litre over full.

I wouldn't say I was driving hard but I wasn't grandmaing either. Like I'm running it in so bursts of acceleration. I'm up to 5500rpm now and the turbo has regained is old habits. Starts off at 3/4psi creeps to 7 and sits there for a while then gets up and walks its way to 16psi by 5500rpm.

Edit. Not sure if this is a major factor but that was up one of the steepest streets around.

My tuner is changing shops so yeah I'm still waiting. And if I knew it would spike that high I wouldn't have done it, it only happened once. I'm beig very careful with it, I measure the oil that came out over night and there is mayb 4/5ml. In my drip tray.

I am trying to use the same spot at work everyday but it's not easy to get it all the time.

I was thinking about it last night and what if my machinist machined a oil bit off the oil seal part of my crank.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
