How much oil?

[cvp0917]

alittle bit not like dripping or anything just enough to coat the pipe inside and around the top of turbo

what made you check? im curious to the symptoms that made you suspicous

[cvp0917]

when i would start it cold it would make a whining noise When pushing on the Throttle till it got warm also i was going to be installing a CAI today and i took it off just because it makes it easier.

[cvp0917]

sound kinda like gargling near the left front of engine near turbo.. when you would rev it cold..

[pdhaudio83]

apparently you aren't quite stock...

This is mazdaspeedturbo at his house...

[cvp0917]

my car is stock i did have a intake at one point but it got takin off..

[pdhaudio83]

what else did you have on and took off? it might be vital that we know so we can try and troubleshoot

[cvp0917]

had a 3 gauge pillar pod with a boost a/f hooked up and just a oil pressure gauge that hadnt been hooked up yet....

[pdhaudio83]

i say its a bad seal if you were stock.

[cvp0917]

what type of money will that run me if mazda are dicks?

[cvp0917]

time for a rebuild :) lol wagnermotorsports engine looks good :)

[pdhaudio83]

it will be covered under warranty most likely, as long as you didnt mod your engine...

[cvp0917]

it is stock right now like i said it had a intake on it before but that was all everything is back to stock now..

[Wha'Happened]

bad gasket probably. you'll be alright, they should cover it.

[MazdaSpeedTurbo]

i hope so..

If it's just a light coating, it's most likely crankcase blowby. Under boost it sucks it in. It's the crankcase return line from the valve cover to the intake pipe. Breather or catch can will solve this problem. I noticed the same thing on mine till i capped it off. The oil will reduce your gas octane level, reduce your i/c efficiency, and cake on your t-body and intake tract.

Blah what he said ^^^^^^^^^


isn't a light coating of oil normal on the inside of the pipes? i mean everyone was making a huge deal bout it in the HiBoost threads bc. of the mild steel pipes and how they would get a light coating of oil and be fine.....Regarding the garlgling noise people have been complaining about that since I joined this board and it was chalked up to be something with the brakeing system and the coolant systems.....I am not saying that everything is fine b.c it might not be .but after you stop by my house today and we check it out I will have a better understanding of what's going on.

i had alittle oil in my as well. my was caused by a leak in the intake track system (intercooler pipes) fixed the leak and havent seen ant since..
