have you looked under the oil filler cap? check to see if there's any mayo type looking sttuf, which could indicate a blown head/head gasket etc. also check the hoses around the sprayed area for crack etc.

but as para said, give it a clean and see if it comes back.'

steve

p.s refer to the cum stains thread for cleaning

Hmm blown head, dont like the sound of that!!!

I havent cleaned it yet, its off the road until the new turbo goes on because it needs tuning and i cant afford to tune before AND after the turbo goes on :dry:

well, check the oil cap anyways. and the radiator cap etc.

Yeh they are fine... might have to look further when i get it tuned

I really really hope head is fine, i was going to put metal head gasket in,

but thought i'd do that later when i rebuild it all.

thanks mate

check the coolant lines that run through the throttle body, looks like one of them could be the culprit.

Cheers

Ill post another pic, where i think it could be coming from (just based on the directionality of the spray)

Its slightly greeny so i was thinking coolant

Anyway here is the pic

I'm guessing its the air pressure release bolt (not sure about the formal name) for the cooling system. Not sure where it is on the RB25s but on the RB20 it is near there and I didn't tighten mine up properly when I flushed out the system and when it got hot you could see small drops of coolant leak out.

Check that along with the coolant lines running through the throttle body as someone else suggested.

ah thats a better pic. on the other pic it looked like mayo etc. forget the blown head gasket theory.

that looks like dried coolant, so yeah, defently check those spots with the arrows.

steve

    • Not sure what you mean by electronic speedo drive.  Speedo reads fine up to 180 yes.
    • For anyone interested, this is my old graph from 2021, but I've plotted the previous setup curve onto it with a black pen. old setup was: pon cams, oem itbs and plenum, HPI manifold, hks 2835 pro S .87ar rear, Turbosmart actuator, 3" turbo back no res. or cat., greddy spec M fmic, nismo 740cc inj, walbro in tank 460, splitfires, 4" intake pipe, Apexi pod, e85, eboost2, power Fc. I love that the new setup has much larger turbo spec with the HTA3076 1.01ar Ts rear, and literally everything is bigger, but far higher quality and result is it's FAR more responsive in paper.
    • This makes a lot of sense! I just had that realisation a few minutes ago and wrote it above haha. This is a good new discovery. "Sanding the side of the hill" perfect way to put it.   馃槀 馃槀 
    • This is probably what's happened to me. I'll put filler again on my repairs and use the long block and let you know how I go. Fingers crossed it's my last batch of filler lol. I can see that happening where my block dipped at certain points because it didn't cover all the high spots at the same time if that makes sense. I'm just trying to visualise the fact that with the large sanding block I will be sanding far away from the central dent area and whether that will cause issues or whether that's going to fether out my repairs better.
