do most turbos produce a bit of excess oil which coats pipes heading to intercooler and possibly thru fmic or is this a very bad sign.

engine is in very good condition so it shouldnt be coming from that.

are my turbo's f**ked???

i took air pods and pipes off to clean and decided to take off intrercooler piping to clean too and noticed oil as u can see below.

so, whats up with that - anyone????

time bomb. That is way too much oil. I just took the intake piping off my 97 model gtst. I would describe the oil as not being visible to the eye. It is only evident if I run my finger on it. My finger turns slightly brown.

Your turbos and or engine are dieing.

the engine that was in the car previously was very smokey and was rooted. This is why he replaced it with an rb26 out of a 33 and so r the turbos. ( a month or so ago) it has only been running for a couple of weeks and the oil in the engine is very clean as it has been rebuilt and the oil in the pipes is much darker.

is it possible that the oil is from the old engine and the guy who put the 33 engine in did not clean out those pipes or intercooler.

is it possible to tell????

Yeah it is - clean the pipes.. let it warm up and take it for a drive... then come back pull the pipe off and check again? if its not there then there is your answer.. but seriously i wouldnt be pushing the car (i.e up the boost, and push it to its limits) as its a time bomb waiting to go off.. Just baby it, or spend the money and get the seals replaced.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
