Changes = piped fmic to stock piping route with 2.5" piping. the fmic was originally checked for fluids etc, turned upside down and shook etc listening for sounds and looking for more leaks, was cleaned 2 weeks prior to installation and lefty upside down with outlets facing down. This fmic has dual entries on the single side with a divder through the middle (and a decent set of end tanks).

immediatly post installation the idle was ... lack of a better word .. lumpy, kicked itself up to 1k and smoothed out and settle to 800-900 rpm and stayed smooth. to test the piping i installed, making certain nothing was going to bust loose, under some load... before i put back the reo and the front bar i kick it in the guts up to 3.5k almost 4k rpms and she started gurgling... killed it, theres your half cup of water... hmmm... its relatively clear with some carbon its picked up on the way out, but relatively clear, no smell what so ever to it,... ehnce water eh ? anyways thinking some must have been in the fmic still i started her again (mistake number 2) she starts hunting etc, revs dropping close to stall, its then it goes back to idling normally... hmmm patern, give it some it spits water and and starts to die, so i give it steady throttle on 2k rpms (mistake number 3) it starts gurgling an about half second after as im turning it off it starts making a knocking noise, never heard nock before but it sounds like something nocking like something is brocken on a moving part... yurp techinical.

gave it another start and it was still doing it (knocking sound) so i shut it down locked her up, grabed a beer and started kickin the f-n wall.

2.5" exhuast all the way through, no mods bar an aftermarket exhuast mated to the stock piping, now an fmic... i have a 3" exhuast but im not gona put it on till tommorow. ideas on what i did to mess it up ?

couldnt feel any leaks from the piping, will do some further checking but atm think i might have cost myself some $$$$... not happy :D

anyone got any ideas?

well, after rolling her of the ramps and idling her she's back to normal, helped the ecu re-learn by idling her at 500 rpm incrrements to 6000 and only nocked 1;ce which never came back though have not loaded her up yet, seems somehow some condensation got into it, dont seem to have any bubbles in the radiator.... woohoo.,,,, soooo if idled for a minute with a lack of oil in hte head... big valve damage ? rings ?

considering hte car was at 30deg incline and when dipstick was checked showed over full.... ?

i would think 30 deg shouldnt be a problem ... whats going to happen when i dry up a damed hill for a while ?

is the oil pickup in the front or the back of the sump ? sounds like the front and also sounds seriously shite house to starve for oil on a 30 deg incline while on a freekn ramp...

      That's a good point. The rears of the covers themselves have no baffling at all though. Higher up more chance of air for venting the crank case. Lower on the side more likely to be submerged. I might be able to fit them on the sides but with both the sump drain fittings being on the drivers side the passenger one will need to make a U Turn and be nearer the turbo. But it will look neat being not up on top.

      It won't likely matter where along the cam covers you put the big fittings. I would suggest putting them on the sides if you can, simply because it will reduce the flow up through the baffles and thus reduce the amount of oil that gets put into the foam. It might not matter, but it seems like something to consider as a worthwhile thing to avoid.

      Well, I have my IM240 results with a cammed LS1... My Nox was 0.11 and my CO g/km was 0.2. Euro4 is 0.08 and 0.1 respectively. I'm gonna say for a stock RB this is actually plausible, BUT in Australia they were complied pre-Euro2, so the limits were: Which as you can see, is way higher. I'd say a stock RB with a new OEM Cat could? actually pass Euro4 for NOX but you'd probably have to do a hell of a lot of testing to prove it, and getting a car emissions tested and carrying a certificate of emissions when/if you get pulled over may be cost prohibitive if it's even allowable to get your car tested and re-classified. You'd have to find out what the UK Govt is using as reference material. It may be non-negotiable.

      I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?
