Hi so did another track day down at Wakefield today was a good day but was probably the warmest day ive done down there so

Anyways oil temp got to 130 degrees so I took the car in for a cool down, everything was fine , as I turned the car off and allowed the turbo timer to do its job I noticed alot of smoke coming from

The engine bay. Quickly turned the car off and noticed the turbo exhaust side was glowing insanely red. A small

Amount of oil on the ground but I assume to smoke was just burnt oil, anyways allowed the car to cool completely down for the day jacked the car up noticed an area near the sump where oil may have come from. Started the car again and allowed to idle for 10 mins and gave it a few hits on boost everything sounded fine an no more oil I than needed to drive her home as I live in Sydney and it drove fine the whole way home no issues and no more oil im just curious to know of I may have damaged anything and should I get the mechanic to take a look.

Id say make sure your tappet covers are tight to start with, or even replace the gaskets, what probly happened is that with the excess heat the old rubber gaskets have gone too soft and let some oil past them. Its happened on mine. Also sounds like you have a blocked cat or close too it.

130deg C is a bit hot - time to look for an oil cooler. What kind of oil are you using? Synthetic is a bit more forgiving of overheating. And if you are not doing a cool down lap idle the engine for a few minutes before switching off.

Yeah im using penrite fully synthetic. Going to have to do an oil change now looks pretty burnt. Yeah i will get onto installing/ purchasing an oil cooler in the next coming week or so. I left the car on turbo timer but thats when the problem happened but coincidence i guess.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
