Plenum Gasket "lifted" By A Few Mm

[Don Dada]

Wouldn't that leak indicate excessive blowby?

Do u have a catch can set up?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

nope...... that's another on the to-do list

300rwkw on an unopened RB25 and you aint running a catch can, Hamish!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

lol, i have'nt got round to it.... been pouring all my funds into the rolla atm...

both tuners the car has seen have said that i wont be killing things with the setup as it is, so i hadn't really been worried

my thoughts exactly

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeah, the car hasn't seen any track days in this state...

the oil cooler is sitting in the garage too lol

its no biggie TBH, the downside is the extra fumes traveling into your plenum and for a daily this is no major concern. For constant hardwork i DO recommend getting one though as long periods on boost and high rpm can create excessive oil vapors and this gets mixed with your intake charge reducing its volatility..

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

i'll be installing one asap anyway... along with an oil cooler....

but a new fixed back is the first cab off the ranks

i'll speak to you about the car tonight at the meeting trent... got a few things that need ironing out before DECA and have the sau vic dyno day on the 27th

I have a catch can mi mi and I have even more oily shit on there than you, and a whole lot more orange dust in the engine bay too lol.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

screwed the plenum down tonight and the idle dropped.... car is going into status on tues to check the afr's and a few other things

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

had a thought..... i'm not actually sure that residue is blowby...

the inside of the throttle body, and crossover pipe is 100% dry.

my car had a previous leak in a stock rubber cooler elbow, which took forever to find, so we sprayed it with carby cleaner looking for the leak... after this the car did 2 mt buller runs and the bay was filthy...

i think it might actually be dirt and crap stuck all over the carby cleaner residue lol
