Nissan Wrx

[SECURITY]

i was at the drags tonight and when i took off i started getting lots of smoke from under my engine bay due to a melted catch tank hose (dont use the ones they give you!).

when i got to the middle of the track it felt like it was running on 5cyl. (sounds like a wrx now).

i opened the bonnet and there was oil everywhere.

my oil pressure is fine, engine temp is fine, knock is still reading low.

so what could it be?

spark plugs over heated and cracked?

or a melted piston?

Wheres the oil coming from?

[Guilt-Toy]

the oil could have gone on one of the coils and caused it to stop working. clean all the oil and see what happens. if you want to check your engine do a compression test.

Cracked ring land = bad tune..

Don't go back to that tuner, unless it was a failed fuel pump.

so everyone whos cracked a ring land has had a bad tune?

not overboosted?

not worn them out over time?

yep, i love it when people make conclusions with absolutely no background information on the car. LOVE IT!

lol..

They don't 'wear' out over time if you think this is the case then....

If a ring land cracks the tune does not suit the setup. Its as simple as that... duh..

If you've fiddled and tried to push more boost in to it then its because the tune isn't suited.

I would hope you haven't done this as when the tuned they are basically tuned near the edge.

ive got a bleeder valve on my car, not ebc.

im pretty sure the c**t spiked up to 20psi when it was tuned to 12 while i was doing a burnout at the start line.

I'm willing to bet it was a dying fuel pump actually....get all the fuel pressure checked out once the rebuild is finished

[Nozila]

how do you check if your fuel pump is dying?

[Duncan]

The only way to check it properly is with a fuel pressure gauge when running the motor.....voltage and manifold pressure have an impact on fuel pressure
