Oh absolutely, but it isn't the mist itself that causes 10 degrees of timing change. And as I said, you can sidestep the secondary problem without fixing the primary problem. It's still better to fix the primary problem. I'm still arguing from the point of view of the effect of just the oil vapour itself, per the initial post. And that's just arguing for the sake of it.

By the way, did that V8 get a decent oil control system as part of that clean up?

What if......... Say I said........

I have seen a turbo V8 that after cleaning the inter cooler piping from all oil residue (due to poor crank case ventilation) and cleaning carbon deposits of the tops of pistons we where able to dial in 10 degrees more timing...............

I would say that's a different scenario to what we are talking about here :)

Im lost.

It is Friday, but I dont understand how it is different.

No.... a catch can will not let you run more timing unless you are over working the factory PCV system

Will a catch can let you run more timing over time if left on a engine to stop contaminants getting into your intake.... you better believe it.

It's not just a oil in the piping issue, as you said in your own post. So unless you...

1. Cleaned the piping - see how far you could go with timing

then

2. Cleaned the pistons - see how far you could then go

You can't really say it was just the oil in the intake alone causing the issue in your example.

I don't think anyone in this thread has said that is not the case :unsure:

It's more around the point of "how much more timing" is the argument at hand. If the motor isn't breathing too heavily at all, there is little oil in the intake as a result - then the extra timing you could potentially then run is probably not as high as 10 degrees at all like your example - which is what i think most are sorta getting at...I'd be fairly certain you understand that :)

HHMM, I was going to type its the hot spots...... but I that they would contribute but are they the whole story.

I think the next head gasket i see getting done, I might clean one of the pistons and save the carbon. Then we can work out a rough area and devide that into the cylinder CC at TDC..... and see how much it raises the comp.

Top idea DVS. I have never thought of that

Mine was pretty bad but I doubt it changed the CR much

    • 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)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
