is 15bar (or 217 psi) ok? got this number on all cylinders. or the meter is faulty.
rev3 turbo with wiseco pistons and stock MLS gasket..

checked mine yesterday.. 15 bar or 217 psi across all. doesnt seem to be normal. head was machined for rebuild and pistons are Wiseco 9.0:1..

you can still keep oil out of combustion: 1) routing to exhaust, this is the ultimate way, but expensive 2) adding secondary catchcan between existing OEM cc and intake pipe. fill the can with strainless steel scrubber or chain, it will have enough area to get the oil out of air. I`ve seen it done w...

well the engine was rebuilt because of cylinders and rings worn out because of dust that was sucked in through Apexi cone filter while driving on gravel everyday :/ Anyway - putting a vacuum on PCV is a way of boosting 1% horsepower and limiting chances of crank seals blown (or blowing oil dipstick ...

well considering the catchan attachs to the intake, its always "open" as such, just filtered... i cant imagine it would "pull" anything in there PCV hose from catchcan is connected to intake between air filter and turbo. accelerating makes vacuum here, thus it sucks out gases fr...

yeah it would be much harder for me to figure this out, cause we couldnt find a hose with an open end and I wouldnt think of the PCV :) How much damage could have I done driving like this for 1700km? As I understand an open end pretty much kills the needed vacuum in crankcase, also it could have suc...

ok, some pics.. just regular overview of catch can and its drain hose going down (to somewhere?): http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7381/3sgtepcvdrainhose.jpg Marked the hardly visible block off pipe on PCV oil return to head: http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/8323/3sgtepcvdrainhose1.jpg PCV drain h...

will post in the evening, have no card reader for camera at work..

then he has put some other wrong pipe elsewhere. i just cant stand giving 3sgte engines to mechanics, they always mess something up, wich i had garage to fix everything on my own..

thanks, you helped me a lot!

i didnt say connected its just bent to go under TB along the fuel rail then makes a turn back. anyway - could the hose be 50-70cm, ior its just 20cm from catchcan to the head PCV port on the side?

i didnt mean it goes to throttle body, it goes under it, makes a loop and then ends up under water elbow, thats why i didnt notice it cause i thought it ends somewhere where it should be. but tracing by hand (impossible to see there) did lead to an open end of the pipe. I`m just wondering why its so...

ok, its really the PCV drain back hose that should be there, i found the other end open! what was the mechanic thinking, wtf. the pipe from PCV can is rather long and it goes to throttlebody then turns 180 degrees and endz up under water elbow and there its just with an open end. the pipe is about 5...

i`ma check the piping now and maybe take a ew pics, its dark though here in north europe..
i looked through st205 BGB and couldnt find anything. maybe its the catch can thats routed wrong..

yeah the catchcan drains back to the top of valve cover. but the nipple is on the side of head right above the water by-pass nipple on the block. looking at these diagrams of 91 sw20 bgb, i cant see that oil would flow downwards from that corner :/ http://www.mr2-tech.com/bgb/mechanical/volume1/lubr...

need a picture of your setup and the pipe your talking about. are you talking about the catch can drain line, or turbo drain line?? well its impossible to take a pic, it was hardly possible to put on a new plug yesterday with the car lifted. The intake manifold, catchcan, ignition leads and "h...

I`m a bit worried. Yesterday I got lots of oil under the engine. It spilled out from oil drain back hole from head. I have 1700km since break-in after rebuild. The mechanic had put a block-off plug with no fasteners and it probably went off from the pressure. Does it have to be blocked off?? I found...

did you figure this out? mine has greyish smoke on boost. just rebuilt engine, pushing only up to 4000rpm, but still get a lot of smoke at WOT

if i remember correctly, my RS-R measured 105db, with downpipe.
with bung insert and 10 metallic sponges it passed at 89db.

:thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft: thats pukka mate...well done....if it lets you down, I can send you a rack thats just been reconditioned. well RHD doesnt fit me, the wheels would turn opposite direction. that would mean i have to order quaife LHD rack internals. previous owner did order that, but ...

I just wanted to say that I fitted E30 bmw steering rack to my mr2. Why? cause I cannot get a toyota rack, here in Latvia MR2 is a very rare car, and definitely nothing in junk yards. To fit E30 rack you have to use a dremel and remove the original bracket that holds the rack. then just weld a piece...
