OK THANKS

welp the build is under way agian finally got a place to store my car where i can acually work on it over the winter and such and ordered all my turbo oil and water line fitiings and lines and such order my dump tube and maf tube both from topspeed...will be a slow build cause everything from here on in is pretty pricey keep checking back

heres a pic from cscs this year my most recent ones rockin the interfooler and my new massive bar

I really like the guage in the door. Very unique.

i wonder where you got the idea to put the guage in the door bezel :p

lol hmmmmm

good news i finally ordered the turbo manifold from topspeed today should be here in about 3 weeks or so as they have to make it....bryan is a great guy to deal with...this as been the second time we have delt with him and hes been extremly helpful...i ordered all the stuff via my work and now we have an account with them and can deal with them as a vendor .... we plan on using them alot more in the future...i know i will be

so guys i started ripping the motor apart to get it ready for the turbo and in the process i found some interesting stuff thet you guys can help me figure out

here the pictures









i found oil in the cold air intake right by the filter. the breather hose from the valve cover to the cai had oil in it aswell
what i cant figure out it why does my intake maniolf have oil residue in it and why spark plug 1 has oil in it....perhaps you guys can enlighten me on this

heres some progress pics and why i was running pig rich









the culprit


new toys from koni


couple topspeed parts


manifold should be here anyday now

and my bov forget if i posted this


well thats it for now

only thing that comes to mind for the oil in the air intake is PCV valve. I had oil in my air intake as well when my engine blew and I think they said it was PCV valve. I can't remember for sure though, let alone if I'm right about the PCV valve of if I'm WAY off.

update just bought 3" stainless steel exhaust.....dunno if you guys ever go on focaljet but i bought jareds

PCV..if its blocked/a faulty valve it reroutes oil back there

i have jay racing plate to catch can

You need to hook up pcv to s vac source or you will get higher pressure in valve cover. Simple fix can also be catch can on breather. The oil around the plug is probably just the valve cover gasket.

To be save just do a comp test on the motor to make sure everything is solid and your not getting too much blowby which can also push pil out the breather. I had the same issue pcv vented to can. Getting oil out the breather.

well the car is apart so i cant do compression test now doesnt the car have to be running lol

afaik you just have to turn the engine over/crank it over, no?

heres the exhaust i bought next to his new 4" aluminum exhaust

ideally your car would be running yes, to warm the engine up to operating temp, else I guess you may get wonky results. I'd say route the pcv through the catch and to the intake, and add a secondary catch to the breather if your worried about oil. It is normal for boosted cars to blow a little oil out of the breather, bad thing about that is oil lowers octane and thus increases detonation. Boosted on the track, pushing it hard, with high temps....this isn't a good scenario.

I'm in the process of making a dual catch can that is correctly made with the proper baffles for both pcv and breather on my car. For now i'm not pushing it too hard and just going to route pcv and breather back to where they should be. Its also nice to be able to monitor how much oil is blowing out of there...i'm not sure how much is too much....I do know that none is good, but even cars that are stock and driven hard I see a bit of oil in the intake.

will be doing a compression test tonight so stay tuned for some numbers cross your fingers and toes everything checks out good

you got some detonation going on, who did your tune?

where is that tube going? the one hooked up to where the oil seperator was supposed to be.
