Well,

After my idle decided to get stuck yesterday at 5500, i put the little nut back on the idle screw and tuned my idle back to bout 900. So i decide ah, lets take it for a spin, even on bad plug wires it usually isnt a real bitch as long as i stay outta boost. So, im sitting there letting it warm up, and i notice i have this "Motor Kote 100" sitting in my garage, so i think, hmmm...protects against wear, blah, blah, safe for all motors...so im like ok...So i put in the recommended amount. Check the oil, close the hood. Back out...all is well...am being nice to it out of the neighborhood...driving, driving, get to a stop light...it just dies....oh well, i start it back up.....go on, dip into boost....wheeee my bov makes a completely new sound, and it sounds like its on the driver side. Interested, i get into boost a little more, it hesitates, i back off, and it wooooshes really nicely. So i go, and everytime i get on it above 1.5k it wooshes really nicely, im thinking thats pretty ******* cool. Anyways, driving, and i let off the gas, and it dies...so i pop the clutch turn off to check things. Dies again, pop the hood open the bov, and oil comes out of the bov....im thinking this isnt good...after kicking its ass for a few minutes it wont start, *Lightbulb* we're on a big ******* hill.....so i let it roll pop the clutch, avoid snow patches and it starts, so i go to flip a bitch and come back out and head home...dies again on a hill.....annoying, so im cranking it, and cranking it and it goes ******* *BOOOOOOOM!!!!* and im like, oh ****......sounds like my main cat just ******* exploded. So i get out, look at the motor, everything looks fine, no weird smoke, or anything. TOy with it, its starts, i start driving with the ebrak and keep the revs up at lights. Get it home park its ass open the bov again....OIL! It wouldnt get over 5k, which on my NA it did this and it had a blown apex. Im not smoking, it started right up today in the cold too, damn near miracle. So im not sure whats up.....Maybe some kinda oil seal r something.....im waiting for new plug wires before i take it driving again.....so we'll see, but i think id have to have some pretty fucked up wires to make it behave like this.....

Well...beat my ass with the stupid stick...



I guess the little 90 bend for the top mount decided to rip....i pulled my intercooler to look and it just kinda fell off the engine...lol...



how it got oil in it tho.....???



damn my bov sounds good with a beasty vac leak =(

oil in the intkake before the oil injectors is from the turbocharger.

tancred 12-16-2003 05:54 PM

yeah, i know its from my turbo, everytime i turn off my car i get a cloud of oil smoke from where the oil line goes into the turbo...Ive bolted that ******* thing down hard, and its still leaking, my turbo is covered in oil under the heat shield from it leaking before....I pulled TID and spun the turbo, not acting like its bad, and its still pulling damn strong, so I have no idea whats going on. How long you think it would take to burn off oil on yer turbo?

How much blowby are you getting? If you pressurize the engine it goes everywhere. Another thing to look at is the oil pressure. Igy had this problems with his Twin setup, driving normally the engine was fine, after boost the oil seals in the turbo could not handle his MASSSIVE oil pressure (Over 100 psi) so the shaft seals were leaking.

tancred 12-16-2003 08:30 PM

Um, 40-60 psi of oil pressure. Id say at the most 58 psi under boost...
