XR6T 520RWKW Member 40 Member For: 5y 9m 29d Posted 05/04/19 02:34 AM Share Posted 05/04/19 02:34 AM hi guys was tuning my FG the other day and notice it was breathing very heavily. the next day I brought the car home empty my catch can, replaced engine oil. still it is the breathing heavy specially after long drive when the car gets very hot but the temperature on dashboard never pass middle mark (I mean never over heat). anything wrong with engine can be serious issue. anyone having any idea what it could be? only thing is that it breath heavy. stem come out of catch can breather and engine oil in led. only having it for last 3 months, god knows wht previous owner did to the car.

Of course it may just need a good rub down and fresh straw but good idea to check these things thoroughly. Another thing to consider is whether the clubsport mare next door is in heat Jokes aside, do you mean thermo fans are constantly coming on or what?? 11 hours ago, XR6T 520RWKW said: stem come out of catch can breather and engine oil in led. ^^ you'll have to break this bit down 11 hours ago, XR6T 520RWKW said: was tuning my FG the other day ^^^and this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As already said in one of the other threads, 'some' oil vapour from a vented catch can will be normal, IIRC your motor is built so there will be more blowby than a stock motor. However; 'a lot' of oil vapour means a lot of oil coming from somewhere, either a) your catch can is sh*t and isn't separating the oil/air mixture at all, or b) as ozywalker suggested your turbo has sh*t itself If you haven't already, remove the intake elbow from your turbo and see what you can see if it's clean then I'm guessing you'll need to brace yourself for some pocket hurting turbo repairs/replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand if my turbo is fked, how is this related to engine. turbo and engine is separate and when engine (car) is parked I can see steam blowing out but how this has to do with turbo.

Excessive blowby at idle is not and it shouldn't be smokey if there is any. I'd start with a compression test and take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
