Got you, my explanation was the US rubbish what they taught was happening; so in short FMS leakage = Worn pump which should not damage your engine unless you have a catestrophic failure of the oil pump I think I will also do a compression test later this week to be safe

Thanks for the detail Tricky If I understand correctly , another seal failure (i.e piston ring) is causing the build up of pressure to overwhelm the FMS(Front Main seal) therefore if you dont identify the source causing the pressure it will happen again. Just changing the pump or FMS is unnesscary as this is not the issue, they are working as per design, it is the source of the issue needs attention. once replaced, you should negate any further pressure on the FMS, therfore it can work within its threshold as it was designed Thats my 2 cent Nigle, got to check the car between rain showers; looks like it is the oil cooler -10 AN fitting; the leaked oil is between the AC rad and front bumper (oil cooler is located here); I ran my hand along the connections , some fresh oil on one of them so I will get some plumbers tape and tighten it back up; hopefully should do the trick. I will get her up on a ramp then make sure nothing else is causing a leak, heart attack over

For BPU what is recommended PHR modified or OEM? Based on the below, will PHR modified Pump just cloak the fact you have an issue with your pump wear? due to the larger Drain hole preventing the pressure from building up behind the FMS Originally Posted by Tricky-Ricky OK in simple terms,wen the oil pump wears, especially on the front spigot area, it allows oil past into the very small void behind the FMS, this area has a small oil drain hole, which as std is not up to the job, the consequence of this is oil builds up at higher RPM and due to pressure overwhelms the oil seal, The seal will very often look fine, all you will find is that the spring that is in the oil seal is displaced, but believe me it is almost always due to the oil pump. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=190940&highlight=fms&page=3

Whats the general consenus , Where would you like the next Meet? Would you like a day event or a Night out too & hotel? Japfest was metioned in september, nothing is posted yet by Mondello but Last I heard it was here with the next pro drift event. September 4/5 To be fair, a meet in the South near Cork or Kerry Area is next but might be better to push the date out a bit to end of Sept or early october for bank balances to recover. Please any Idea's welcome, maybe a spot of Go-Karting!!!

Everytime I see it I piss myself laughing, its brilliant

Its not the Envy Supra

Great write up as usual Darren!

Awesome , that what I am talking about Ham & eggs coming at you

Most likely Jap fest Mondello September, nothing is organised as of yet; from what I can see on Mondellos website Will keep an eye out and setup an event via Facebook and sent out invitations

I know just nowhere over here, need to go to LeeP but dont have the $$ Goin to access it tonight and do the work myself if I can, had planned to do a boost leak test this weekend with my can of beans but thats out the window

Have an oil leak, dont want to put in my expensive Motul oil; any recommendations on cheap oil I can use to get me to the garage about 2 miles away? Any 10W40 I presume? At the garage I will change out oil and filter

Whats the best method to find a boost leak , I found a crimped pipe which I replaced and the BOV Bung was shot so have a new bung on order. If I have the hood up and rev the engine would u hear a boost leak? How would you diagnose, visual inspection? Thanks, sorry tried searching but could not find anything

I second that

Hey Ernie Do you have any videos of your Supra on full chat , just want to listen to the amazing sound track again. Best noise I ever heard produced by a Supra Award for best noise: Ernie's Supra , a jet fighter would have competition
