All, 

Here is my situation. Car is runnig at 1.3 bar with standard gasket.

compression and leak test was done all in green area . turbo is hybrid. not a drop of oil in intake or intercooler

what is causing the smoke is pcv valve . If I block it, car will smoke like hell both mixture of white colour and smoke . We are talking clouds and as if turbo is blown


if I keep it, it smokes and can see blue and at times white colour smoke and I can only assume it is the oil from pcv.

now I am running the camshaft cover to a catch can and the pcv to a can . I think car can't breath or is breathing too much so would a solution be to drill two more hole on the camshaft cover and block pcv?

I verified this by unplugging one side of pcv and oil was fair amount in the bonnet area within few minutes. No oil from the cam shaft covers!!! well there is but a lot smaller.

 

i don't think it is gasket or water coolant as coolant level has not gone done slightest amount in 2000 miles

thought?

You have been saying the same thing since March.

The solutions are in this thread - start half way though -

well it stopped and then it started as of two days ago hence why posting back. to be fair I am starting to use it more often now compared to before maybe why I am noticing now

 

read it and it does seem you need a mechanic and costly solution by drilling oil galleries etc

 

does that means everyone here with 400+ bhp does this ? It is strange how no one lists this problem

when I look on net, pretty much every one says it is valve problem

There are many people with modified engines contributing to the oil control thread so hardly "no-one"

In my experience SAU, while not infallible, is more likely to solve a problem than any other single website.

 

Quoting you drifter17...

"one question though, i seem to be going from high to low on dip stick every 200 miles or even less so burning around 200 ml "

 

Not the same thing being said.

Wich is it?

Compression figures?

OP has had an oil control problem since at least early March. If you read this thread from the beginning you will see he has compressions of 165 but his leak down test is 10%. The person carrying out the leak down test should have been able to tell him whether it was leaking from the rings or the valves but by the symptoms he reports it could be both.

If you read the oil control thread (say from half way through) you will see that there are ways of managing the problems.

Drifter17, if its not burning oil like it was, why?

What else could it be burning?

If your compression is still the same after driving it around losing oil then not and add blowin allsorts of smoke i would think thats amazing, but after so long seeing wich cylinder(s) are the culprit shouldnt be hard to tell, re test compression, pressure test coolant system and leak test inlet manifold.

My guess is that if your motor seems fine , maybe its a small leak water jacket/intake of the inlet manifold gasket .

Just a guess.

Goodluck!

I am new to this forum but have solved all my problems through this site over the last 5 years owning gtr's.  I had this same issue on my 93. I removed the large custom catch can setup the car came with, reinstalled a new pcv(was blockled) and fitted a Nismo catchcan. motors runs great to this day and like you I thought I had blow by issus and a bad motor. I see very little oil in my turbo piping now. hope this helps. don't give up motor could still be ok.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
