So i have oil in my intercooler and piping and someone told me that a little bit was ok but theirs a lot and its making it up to my intake manifold. does any one have input on this
Oil??
- Thread starter watchout221
- Start date
I had same problem. Too much crankcase pressure forcing oil from PCV valve into the intake side thru the turbo/to IM and back in the top.
You never want oil going through it like that. Yes, you should clean it out. You need to get to the root of the problem, which may be bottom end work and you need a good vented catchcan.
Start your car and remove the Oil cap, do you have a lotta pressure shootin out like a volcano??
Mine was so bad it started shooting the dipstick out, the one way valve off the IM would spray fumes anytime i touched the gas...mine was bad....by the time I got it into a shop, #2 cylinder had 75% leakdown and it's @ Inline Pro getn dun now...don't wait too long, figure it out!!!

and any input on what the fuel pressure would be set on stock motor
What are you tuned on and what kind of boost controller you using?
HAve you checked the crankcase pressure??
No idea on the fuel pressure....

How about an oil catch can to collect any blow-by during hard driving conditions?
I suggested that earlier too....turns out they help more than I woulda thought!! lol yeah when mine comes back it's already sitting and waiting lol
I'd put my $$ on rings...internals are stock????

had same problem to, does ur car smoke quite a bit as well, if it does then for sure its your turbo seal, i just replaced my turbo and it fixed the problem, and you shouldn't get any oil in the intercooler piping. (bs on its ok to get oil in ur intake manifold.) i would fix that asap before u get oil caked on ur intake and ur injectors and you will really f**k up ur engine
Right now, just lookin at 300 at around 10 lbs..
Got some other things to do before I crank my turbo lol...a slow work in progress, but it's getn done right..which is what counts.
