I haven't reinstalled the catch can yet. I have to make a new one as my air filer stole its home. But I've been unplugging the hose when I check the oil and there isnt a single spec of oil in it.

Can't believe after all the cost labour and effort youve put into this new engine that your driving it untuned like its a daily...

I honestly thought you would of learnt from killing the last engine

I did have it unhooked only hooked it the other day.

Im not using it like a daily at all. I drove it to work so I could go for a mountain run after work.

If I could find tuner who I trusted it would be booked in, as it sits I'm just slowly putting ks on it waiting for my tuner to move.

Ok I'm going nuts. To me it looks like the oil is coming from above the oil pump. I had it running for over 10minutes without the top timing cover and nothing came out.

How common is it to crack the oil pump? I read it can happen if the crank collar is wrong.

There wasn't a gasket so you just didn't put one on and used sealant?

That's te stupidest thing I've heard.

You my friend, need to take the engine completely out, remove the sump, remove the oil pump, apply a gasket with loctite gasket sealant (red stuff) and then put it all back together.

well im sorry but when my oem gasket kit didnt include one i assumed it just used sealant. later i found out that it hadnt been returned to the kit.

i have a gasket now and obviously i am going to replace it but i just wanted a confirmation as to how many oil pumps had cracked.

Don't apologize to me, apologize to yourself for creating at least 2 days more work, money, and car off the road.

You have a stupidly long thread that many people are subscribed to, and you didn't ask? I though it was common sense that no two metal surfaces that keep in a liquid under pressure go together without a gasket?

I can't see how there is even any pressure in there. It's just the air space in the sump and crank case. My breathers don't have any pressure so how does the oil pump? I can understand if it was the oil pump itself but yeah.

And I did ask people and they said the sealant should hold as its no different to the sump.

lol !!! there should be around 80psi behind that oil pump man !!! not sure what pump u used but did u see the 2 small holes in the back of the pump ? they are diagonally opposite and are your feed to the filter and pick up. the feed to the filter has all the pressure !! after the filter it goes to all bearings on the crank, crank can only bleed off so much oil so then the relief valve opens !!! sht loads of pressure dude.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
