cant wait to get mine flashed, just waiting on me tax return then i'm looking at the bluefin tuner

gotta love a tune from official tuning partner to the vw cup.

....because Scotty, that oil is covering everything from just after the MAF where it re-enters the intake, to the intercooler, pressure sensors, EGR, flap, and THEN clogs up the difficult to clean swirl flaps and inlet ports. This is the black plastic part that is right before the head, and removal of it, and cleaning out the head ports as well is the only way to do it properly.

A lot less difficult to get a can / Provent / whatever, and plumb the outlet high up in the exhaust. There's always the spray clean option, but given I have a DPF, that's out of the question. Different for you guys.

Explain to me WHY making your ports smaller with a goop coating is a good idea, when most of us are after MORE power???

[Buller_Scott]

yeah. crap.

i think im gonna have to pay volkspower to do a full cleanout as well as get a provent/ catch can of some sort.

im thinking of getting uprated smic too, so a clean-out is in order.

[Greg Roles]

.... put a water spray on your SMIC too Scotty, even a crude one ala Polar makes a big difference.

Great product to get the crap out of the engine is Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner

Buy a few cans... Use them every time you feel like your car is clogged up.

At subaru they call it the "Service in a can"

I put it in my 1.4 and when you start up you get white smoke for like 2 mins.

Next time I did it was only 30 seconds or so- Much cleaner.

You forget we run compression ignition mate. Put anything into the inlet tract that can combust, and well you're basically flooring the throttle. Remember that a diesel is throttled by fuel, and not air fuel mix like a gasser. It's basically WOT all the time air wise.

If it's something you mix with the fuel, well it's all well and good, but it doesn't clean the inlet tract where our problem lies.

Provent, Provent, Provent, or a similar decent catch system. Or get rid of your oiler at 100k.

Who was the best supplier of Pro-vent in Sydney again? I have used ANOTHER litre of oil between services now.

[POLARBEAR666]

You don't need a provent.

Just whack some hose going underneath the car and man up and whack 1L of oil as needed.

I would rather have to top up my oil and thereby get fresher oil, than have all my old ail religiously collected and put back in sump.

[mikinoz]

I'm down with that. Even better I may jam it into an old drink bottle so I can measure it.

What do I do where the line would normally return?

Just block it off.

If you look at car magazines for hardcore drag cars... check out how many oldschool cars are just running the hose to ground technique.

[Greg Roles]

...fine for the odd 400m run, but a bit irresponsible for a daily drive given the easily added options out there.

[gregozedobe]

.... and if it drips oil onto the road it is definitely not nice at all (add water = road with very little traction, particularly dangerous for bikes)

lucky you have your disclaimer in your sig....

if you block it off, the crankcase will pressurise and blow out hte oil seals.... gee that'd be nice wouldnt it.

AHH NO actually if you read the question I was answering he said "What do I do where the line would normally return? "

You would block that off as your breathers are now going elsewhere.

As far as bike are concerned I am tired of carrying them by paying more for my third party insurance than I should. If each bike owner paid their share compared to the cost they cause they would be paying $15,000 a year or something compared to $400.

its no biggie man, using a litre in 15,000km or even in 10,000km is OK.
