Hi all, just asking for people's opinions.....

The car has lost top end power like a mofo, feels like its not even going anywhere after like 4500-5000rpm.

There is a little oil in the intake manifold soemhow and its leaking out into the engine bay....i have taken off the intercooler piping to find a little oil inside there too....iam seriously clueless what the go is......i take off the blow off value...and there's a little oil in there....i take off the manafold....there's a little oil in the throttle body.....

oil pressure is fine, i check the oil 3 times a day and its going fine....just losing it into the bay/intake.....

have been told by a few people its called 'blow by' and could be the rings.....one other mate reckons it doesnt have all the symptoms of fried rings and its the turbo which is rooted......

i might as well mention i have had the stock s1 r33 gts-t turbo at 15 psi a couple of times for a few drags.....my bad

any of you smarties on here have any ideas?

Are you still making the same boost through the  rev range

the boost gauge tells me i am but it has a bit of a splutter and it sure as hell doesnt feel like 10psi used to.....even a commodore cold prob beat me now....

after a little while when i'd give it full stick on full boost it would feel like its going nowhere. I little extra black exhuast fairy dust on my back bumper too.

Its booked into gavin woods workshop here tomorrow so hopefuly its nothing really major....i dont mind if its the turbo, good excuse to upgrade.....i just want to know how its leaking oil into the intake pipes/manifold.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
