deatils of car:

33 GTST

engine mods:

fmic

pod filter

4" cat back

AVCR running .85bar boost

a couple of nights back i was doing a "spirited drive in the hills"

i geared down and heard a big deep (not hi pitched) whinning sound, i backed off for a while.

i few kms later wen i got back on it i smelt an oil smell when i was accelterating. (windows were down, with the windows up u cant smell it in the cabin)

i babied the car home in fear that it was somethign big

i thought mayeb it was gearbox oil so i changed and put in some redline shockproof stuff,

never helped, the car still smells of oil under accelration and when you cruisng along just under normal crusing speeds u can hear a deep whinning sound,

i have looked for oil leaks under the car and have not found any, i saw a few drops off teh bottom of the oil filter so i tighned that up a little, but the car still smells and still whines.

under really hard acceleration on backoff there is some blue smoke out the back, some ppl have said its black others say whiteish.

the car feels strong as normal, ie no power loss at all.

just a funny noise and some oil smell

also: i changed the diff oil to that vmx80 stuff about 2 weeks ago.

any ideas

The "few" times the Neil has come past me under acceleration then backed off a fairly large plume of blue ish smoke was released. Only on backoff after a hard acceleration, I have never seen any smoke come out of it under any other conditions. If that helps find the prob......

    • 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 😂
    • 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.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
