Old Soarer engine is tired as shit, but being a Toyota it'll go for another 100,000km at least. Checked fluids tonight and if the dipstick can be trusted, the oil is overfull - by quite a bit actually - checked it twice with a wiped stick to confirm. I don't remember overfilling it when I last changed the oil. Oil on the stick had a bit of a fuel smell to it, but most tired old engines will do that. Is it possible that fuel is getting past the piston rings and very slowly filling up the sump, hence overfilled?

Does it run at operating temp for a while or barely manage to get up to temp before its parked again?

If it's changing the level on the dip stick I'd check the injectors to make sure one isnt leaking. Did the fuel economy suddenly get worse?

It runs at operating temp, decent sized trips.

Car had been neglected by mother for years (read: rarely serviced and sat parked on side of road for a couple years barely driven), before I borrowed it as a temp car for Leesh to get around in. I've barely driven it myself so haven't been able to track personality changes in it, but it's not a healthy engine - boosts horribly with flat spots etc. blows a lot of smoke - 300,000km on it and that's probably a wound back odo. Fuel economy would never have been great, probably around 13L/100. Smells of fuel so no doubt has a leak somewhere, be it injector or fittings, was just curious if fuel could leak significantly enough to theoretically top up the sump with a hybrid of oil/fuel.

it just depends how bad the leak is if it's changing the level of the sump it's pretty bad, and your oil is probably in very poor shape.

 

Also, fuel leak from fittings and being able to smell it outside the car is basically asking for it to burn to the ground.

1JZ no shit

Can't see a leak from fittings, just assuming there could be a slow one given the smell. Think it's emanating from the fuel tank actually, as there is residue near the fuel flap. What could cause that? Seems like the fuel tank is getting pressurised lol

$50 for the Soarer.

Cash.

i've had leaky injectors in the ute so if cars sits for a while was leaking into cyl.

worn rings and it would get past, mine would just run like shit after I come back from a trip till it burned off/spat out the excess fuel.

Absolutely, there's the on going debate that e-sports shouldn't be called a sport and the players shouldn't be called athletes etc.

im always amazed at how many smaller leagues or comps there are going at one time just in the international scene. Not sure who watches it all...

Part of the problem is the games. DOTA/LoL/Smite/Heroes Of The Storm. are variations of the same thing.

      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

      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.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
