Just started to drive this r32 gts4 and thought it was using way too much petrol so i pulled the afm off to check and clean it. Found it was very dirty and there was alot of oil inside the air filter and it looks like it has kind of pooled in the coregated sections of the pipe and set like jelly. I know it hasnt been driven for a long time but have no idea how long its been since the filter and afm have been cleaned. Im wondering how much oil blow back is acceptable or weather my oil seals are completely shagged and i need a new turbo. Any comments apreciated.

How likely is it that its sucking up oil from the rocker cover under wot and then getting slamed back into the afm and filter when the throtle closes?

Will clean and check again anyway.

Cheers.

It is very likely, and in my case it was the exact problem.I used to get tons of oil in the intake pipe and the afm and filter were always covered in oiley residue so i installed a catch tank and have never had the same problem, the intake pipe,afm and filter are always 100% clean now!

the catch can is a bandaid fix to the actual problem. if you require a catch can then something is wrong and not operating correctly

Everything is operating fine!nothing is wrong, the car dosent smoke,theres usualy shit all oil in the catch tank (just some watery condensation) and runs perfectly etc etc, the oil being sucked into the intake is from the breather being directly feed into the intake pipe, pretty simple really!

If your turbo seals were toast wouldnt the car smoke very badly??

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
