Its like an evil lear with a crazed looney running round with a camera.
Bet you cant get the grin off your chin.

Ring the BP helpline or similar, they may help.

Might pay to go to a mechanic first, you dont want to do o many kms and not get it checked or they wont pay out if the diesel has naffed the engine.
-
Drove it four times and smiled every time, more new parts ordered.
Makes a huge difference having your catch can lines in the right way.
-
Done.
Went for a drive and ive only got 8-10pounds of boost, stll pretty quick even with that. Where would I find the boost pill? Dont think ive got one.
Still no working blow off valve as well.
-
New turbo in. Lines correct on my catch can (i think).
Banjo bolts are a prick. Just checking but theres nothing special in setting them up eh?
-
I suppose the first question any of us ask should be, why do you want to do 180km/h anyhow? do you do a lot of track work? or just want to show of to your mates, kill a few of them, and ruin a few xmas's for a couple of familys?
Agreed, hopefull hes not trying to make your sig quote come true.
-
Just took another couple of pics....
Front and rear breather, both going to the catch can.
All lines to catch can..
-
swap top hose "to right hand head" with the "to intake" and it should cure your oil issues. note your can will actually fill up now.. and might still mean its rings are pocked and shunting out more oil than is supposed to. Or that you have the two breathers going to the catch can like Koom said haha.
200ml's petrol in the TMIC, block of the inlet / outlet and shake vigourly is a nice way to clean that out
Im pretty sure I have the issue Koom has described. TMIC has been repaired and flushed. Ohh the excitement of getting this thing going properly ;D
Even though ive had a few issues with the car, its been good fun sorting them out
-
Ive got v5 sti tye r heads and v7 sti block.
So there is no reason it has to go back to the intake? I think a switch around and ill be oil less.
/quote]
If you have an AFM, it should go back to the intake cause its metered air. If you have a Link (or similar) then the catch can doesn't need to go back to the intake (unless you really, really care about the environment)
Not sure how much of an issue it would be running it without it plumbed back, not sure how much it'll effect the AFM's readings.
Do you have two ports on the block running to the catch can?
You only want one thats in the same spot as the older blocks. The extra port from the crankcase on the newer blocks just throws oil out of the engine. If you run the motor without having anything on there the oil will just about hit the roof (don't ask how we found that out haha).
Do you know which one it is, cause both mine go back to the can. What you have just described would explain alot.
-
Have you blocked the second "breather" off the crankcase (assuming your heads don't have two breather ports) as one of the ones off the crankcase is unbaffled and should just be blocked off unless you have later model heads.
From how you've described the routing, it sounds like you're onto something as it would just drain the catch can completely into your intake any time you had it running under full load i.e. boosting.
Are you still using the AFM? If not, could try running it for a while with the breathers disconnected from the intake so that its a completely divorced setup as has been mentioned.
Still using the AFM.
Neither pipes are blocked off, all going to the catch can.

What a bloody mission to paint that.
-
edit: can you explain better or draw a simple MS paint diagram for how you have it set up. I cant follow the pipes your describing or cant see what im looking for
BUT: having the very bottom hose going to the intake isnt right (im assuming intake is pre compressor as in factory set up). As ANYTHING oil that gets into your car goes straight back into the intake and defeats the purpose of the catch can. Im of the opinion that a catch can should be totally divorced from the intake.
Any oil in your tmic out of interest?
Yes to oil in the tmic. Yes intake is pre compressor. Ill draw it up, ive got a v7 sti block as well not a v5 one.
-
Sounds like its blowing it threw the blowby Stira rather than sucking it as you say its only on boost which generally means wornout compression rings. Might be time to dust off the compression tester and prepare yourself for the moment of truth.
Whats the blowby? Its a brand new block and was inspected when I had new heads put on about 500kms ago. Ive had this issue just after it went back together.
The issue only happens on startup after giving it some boost in the last run, and its not continual.
Can anyone confim the way the hoses should be located on the can?
-
I agree, but I only have excess oil when the turbo boosts, basically I think its sucking it out of the engine through the catch can. In the pic below you can see how its set up. The line on the far left at the bottom of the can is going to to the intake.
The line on the top on the elbow is coming from the right head breather, basically it would act like a vacume pump under any sort of boost. I think.
Im of the opinion the lines need to be swapped around and the problem will be solved.
-
Removed my vf23 to replace with a vf30. The thing is I dont think its knackered now. I think the lines in the catch can have been put back together wrong and that where the oil is coming from. Instead of the top line going to the intake a bottom line on the catch can is. Any oil in it would be being sucked straight into the intake.
I think my turbo has been "sucking" the oil out of the catch can from the engine when it is on boost. This would explain a couple of things but someone may be able to correct me?
-
Vf23 will boost earlier but run out of puff sooner. Depends how you drive and what you like your car to go like.

jUst put $50 in and it was 209.9
Isnt it strange how they harge a bit cnt rather than just rounding it up?
That will last me a good two weeks so I the price doesnt hit me too hard.
-
Just curious if it was driver error or caused by someone else. :
Either way its a shame.
-
What are the details of the accident?
-
Just to give you an idea as to why . i was looking at a type ra v7 they have/had about 6 weeks agoo. i went and checked it out and it was tidy as. i then carjammed it when i got home. only to find between 2008-2009 between wofs it had done approx 7500 km in reverse as it had decreased in kms.
Im not defending them but have had it where the numbers are enterd incorrectly, so dont just rely on the carjam results. Simple trip to the wof station puts it right.

Where from and how muchy?

Fitted a v7 sti blow off valve, plumbed it back. Car is running mint now, no fumes and a working blow off valve.
So far im very happy with the vf30 as well, cant wait to get a little bit more boost out of it so I can get past 9psi.
