I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

Ok well after having my turbo rebuilt twice by blaast, it still smokes and now today i found oil around the vtec solenoid but it came out of the valve cover breather filter thing i have... its bad... what the hell did i do???

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

if you have oil blowing out the valve cover breather its because you have positive crank case pressure, how have you had you pcv valve set up? maybe the pcv valve took a ---- and isnt blocking pressure anymore? or maybe your rings are just finally toast and you have mad blow by.....show me how your pcv valve is set up?

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

My guess is blow by from shot rings or ringlands. Pull that bitch apart and let us know what you find.

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

is the car burning oil?
what do the plugs look like?

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

your ringlands just got a divorce from your pistons...hell rebuild!

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

Well i dont think my rings went.. wouldnt it smoke ungodly?? its just smokes really bad when cold... and then its fine on 11psi full throttle....
mayb i just caught it in time.. heres my pcv setup...

Listen up Shirley...

you = broken ringlands

and d-series setups will live just fine with a completely stock untouched pcv system.

how long is she good for??? ima keep driving her shes my daily...

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

til you get tired of smelling oil. seriously, i drove the first one i killed for months, only reason i tore into it was because I decided I wanted to fix it, it will still driving when i tore it apart.

am i the only one that thinks he has way to many vacuum hoses and T's in his engine bay? ???

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

yes
yes u are

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

Have u done a compression test yet? try number 3 first ;)

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

funny, about 6 months ago i did one and number 3 was down just a tad, right at spec. lol little did i know damnit! oh well we shall do a build!

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

i also agree

somewhat off topic, you need a dedicated line for your BOV. when its on a t with your wastegate it opens a lot slower and doesnt really do its job. but to each their own

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

ill give er a try man thanks

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

i had mine t'ed off of my wastegate at 1st and then when i changed it, it was a lot better. the BOV had a more crisp sound and i stopped hearing any shudder from the turbo when i shifted

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

nope guess not ;D

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

sorry but i'm calling BS on this. My blitz opens very ------ fast and i have it teed off with the wastegate, er, boost controller i should say.

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

blow off should always have it's own line when possible

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

the difference is that a wastegate when open holds a decent volume of air. when you shut the throttle body and the intake manifold makes vacumme it has to suck the 5-10psi out of the wastegate and hose before it will open the BOV. your boost controller doesnt hold much air so when you let off the gas it is almost like haveing the BOV on a dedicated line.

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

what he's saying is that being hooked up to the same line as the wastegate/boost controller will work, it just hass a delayed reaction and will put a little more wear on your turbo. you should have you bov on a dedicated line, tecnically. :6

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

kinda curious why that is your signature. it may be a little mispelled but not funny. either way i dont care, just curious

Re: I think i fucked something up! oil from my valve cover breather
 

its not in his signature, just looks like it b/c the quote is after what he said in his post. he just doesn't have a signature at all. got me for a sec too
