Guest Supra-T Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yours just did! What more do you want? BTW, do you have a relocated oil filter? Maybe one of the connections is slightly loose? Maybe even the filter if it's stock location? According to my oil pressure gauge it gets up to 80+ psi, which will surely find any weaknesses in the system. According to motinfo.gov.uk mine's had an oil leak for five years! I'll never buy another car without checking it first on there. Will rebuild it soon anyway. Maybe the oil on the road was someone else's and/or your performance issue was just from temporary overheating? Perhaps you had some serious timing retardation from knocking/detonation for a while. If the turbo was that hot, the cylinder head would be likely to cause knocking if not clean or prepared/coated to avoid it and the ECU will basically shut down the timing advance to protect the engine. Sure there's any coolant in the rad? Might also help to retard the exhaust timing slightly, (if adjustable), to lessen the unburnt fuel overheating the turbo and making it glow. Give it more of a chance to fully burn before the valve opens. I didn't understand a thing you said there apart from the coolant part and yes, it's full! Lol hopefully dude has figured out what that morse code means and I'm sure he'll find some sort of solution tomorrow!! There will be tears before bedtime What? There will be bears before ted time? Super! You lot need to calm down with the herbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supra-T Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 It's actually running suprisingly fine with no oil leaks whatsoever!! I think my car has a ghost living in it or something spooky!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Oh p1ss off! Lol So you took off the P1 Stainless Steel hose and it was ok? Good, sounds like the engine is running well now. Do look into that turbo cooling problem though, as you should be able to get away with 'spirited driving' without issues like oil leaks. The unusual heat and oil pressure probably softened the seals enough to let some escape from somewhere, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Did you recently have an Fcon fitted? Is the stock ECU and SAFC II gone now? Why didn't you go with the syvecs? The car had clearly been running extremely rich for a long period of time when I last saw it, so there is potential for other issues creeping in Also there were a few oil leaks, I know you sorted the FCS, but there was also a leak from the turbo oil feed and a small one from the drain. If you're bouncing off the limiter and getting that turbo red hot the oil from there will start to burn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All makes sense. Right, strip her down, let's have a look inside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Oh no, Darryl please tell me your joking!! :,( No jokes in technical, but can you clarify the ECU you have now as it was a bit unclear. I doubt it's any major issue, but as mentioned, due to the spec and a few service issues it'd be a good idea to get the car completely looked over before driving it hard. Who's Darrel? Darryl = me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supra-T Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 I've got an fcon ATM mate, the safc is still in there but not hooked up to anything! I got the fcon because it's been around longer than the solaris and has been proven to be very reliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnanshah247 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 dude, honestly get the car to a professional and get the damn thing looked at for gods sake! you rather spend £500 at this point and get it fixed or you can keep trying to figure out and eventually cause damage in the £1000's! the car didn't look healthy man, it needs some serious TLC. go down to LeeP hes the man i would trust my life on and trust me he will get to the bottom of it in no time!

pistonbroke Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) I spoke to him at the bluewater meet. I know he's had trouble with the map and a seeming incurable missfire at high speed.
