I took my car in for roadworthy inspection, and they said "Oil Leak at Turbo". So I popped I got it up on the stands, popped my head under and found the bottom of the front turbo housing covered with oil. I know nothing of turbos or Skylines in general so how bad is it? The car drives fine, turbo appears to be working fine.

nah its all over the compressor housing..i'd say major blowby issue more like it..someones been flogging its guts out doing burnouts, the heads been filling up with oil (common RB problem) and spewing it out the breather pipe attached to your cam cover and back in the intake...maybe a loose clamp there or something as well ...

clean it off, check clamp is tight...check again in a week...get a simple oil catch if you intend to keep driving it this way

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
