possibly a cam bearing? or lifter? had a simlar problem with a 89 celica i had.

just go to repco?

OK... i am making my own catch can this weekend 100% plumback, on a rb25det my first question is.... where is the pcv valve?? can someone please circle it in the picture above? I roughly get the idea.. but perhaps a picture of the pcv valve once it has been moved and whatever else that has to be done to it.. and the blocking off of the camcover? 2nd question, where can i get Braided Stainless hoses from? all i have seemed to find are braided sleeves that fit over the original silicon hoses... like this http://i12.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/3e/34/47_1.JPG Is this how it is done, or is there an actual hose that can be purchased sumwhere? Thnx cant upload picture of my layout? but if sum1 willign to host i can email

i just spray sum deodrant in there every now and then... onef of those cheapo ones from $1 shop... dat smells funky

my mate has a nicely worked sr20det.. (2002nv if u have seen it around sydney), driven both his car n my rb25det... for some reason i prefer the rb range...

88 prelude lowered with chromes.. n nice system... got bored sold it... got a 89 celica... got bored sold it... by this time saved enough money and recently got my r33 gtst

i can help... pm me if u want me

SORRY TO BRING UP THIS THREAD>> BUT ANY FOLLOW UP ON THIS? and how much did the recon end up costing you?

which workshop if u dont mind me asking

to check the turbo inlet do i disconect the inlet @ the turbo... or can i check the pipe further away from the turbo, so it will be less of a pian in the ass to check?

well i picked up some redline shockprrof on friday... got under the car today and tried to undo the top plug, with no luck... i huff n i puffed to no avail. There seems to be some kind of silicone compound sealing the top bolt in. Can anyone let me know how to loosen this up? or do i have to hire a body builder for 5 minutes? If worst comes to worst how much will a workshop charge me to hoist it up and do the change for me (noting that i will supply them the parts)

went for around a 40 minute drive, warry of the police on double demerit hunt... and looked at the bov afterwards... and there isn't any oil on it... so i am assuming that is is only a minor problem for now... planning on getting a leak down test and compression test done? how much would this roughly set me back? and can any workshop do it? if tests show fine i guess i will install a catch can... if tests show some kind of fault.. i will go from there? how much would UAS charge for a compression n leak test? as i work across the road... so can dro pthe car of in the morning, and pick up after work Also a catch can wil cost around the $100 mark from my knowledge? any suggestions on brands/types/ where to go for installation around hills area?

hmm the dreaded rebuild eh..... if i do need to go rebuild wat will i be looking @... i dont want to really do much of a heavy dudty upgrade... just fix up the engine.. i am happy with my performance atm... I have a FMIC, pod, BOV, cat back exhasut, runnin 9psi high boost... and am happy with it... not really into too much performance....? so what will i need to do in the rebuild you think.. any susgeestions? price ranges so i can start saving up?

sounds right.... as over a week of driving there is only a small amount of oil around the place... what am i looking at for a repair cost if this is the issue?

cant seem to find the thread... any1?
