Excessive oil in intake

Hi Everyone,

Everything started when I was doing 110 on Hume highway and the water temp. went up so I lifted up and cruised until it came back to normal. Then I felt like I'm losing power (my oil temp gauge doesn't work) and as it got worse I rolled the window down and heard clicking noise from engine. I tried to pull over and engine died immediately before I turn it off. There was huge amount of smoke coming from engine bay from all around engine which looked like burning oil. whole process since I felt loss of power till engine died took about 3-4 minutes.

Long story short, I towed the car home and next day I went to see what's wrong and a water hose behind engine was exploded and engine was completely dry and engine didn't start at all. I pulled intake out and there's oil every where. once I got to turbo, compressor is floating in oil.

Please help me with your knowledge or similar experience. I'm ready for everything being engine complete rebuild with new turbo.

please leave your suggestion if I should rebuild, get new rb25 or any other engine and rough estimate for cost I should expect.

It's a 99 R34 gtt rb25det neo and I would like to repair and keep the car.

You could be right - complete rebuild but hard to guess without seeing it. Best bet is to post up your town and ask for recommendations for a workshop with a good knowledge of RB engines. Take it there for an assessment and some price options. If possible take it to another shop as well.  If you are lucky a local member may be able to come and have a look.

Did you check the oil level afterwards?

BTW  you may find a second hand engine quicker and cheaper than a rebuild

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes there was some engine and I drained the oil and there was about 4 litre.

I live in Baulkham Hills, NSW. Car is in undercover garage and hard to take to a workshop. I want to make sure the engine has to come out then I'll decide to rebuild or replace.

90% chance you cooked it and blew headgasket which has pushed various fluids various places where they shouldn't have gone.

It's getting harder to find good 2nd hand engines these days, thanks to all the wankers who've treated them as if they were disposable all these years. A rebuild is starting to look more like the path people will have to take in the future.

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
