Ronan 0 Posted September 3, 2005 Righto, just bought a new G60 but I'm having a few problems with it, the biggest being an oil leak. I can't see where it is coming from, my friend seems to think it is coming from the crank seal, which would indicate too much crankcase pressure? We have compression tested the engine, they were all between 150 - 180. There was some oil in the catch tank, we have emptied that, going to see what happens. It's a modified engine, here's the spec, if it helps:65mm pulley,G-werks rs charger rebuild(2,000miles ago),red top injectors,rsr outlet,ported and polished head and refurbed ,stage 5 sns chip,oil breather system,boost re-route system,,de-catted,hot wire racing leads,metal inlet air pipe stainless steel air filter I also have a misfire between 4600-redline, it didnt seem to do it an lower temps, just high temps, but struggles to pull through it, the plugs are all brand new G40 Items. Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustynuts 0 Posted September 3, 2005 As most people say in this situation, give Darren a ring at G-Werks to book in for a setup. As it stands it is difficult to tell at this minute, Check the Vac hos that leads from the the back of the throttle body to the ECU and make sure that it is airtight and measures 1m long. Secondly check if the car is running rich (black sooty plugs) If so a sensor is knackered (likely to be lambda) See how you get on with that first.

Ronan 0 Posted September 4, 2005 It's definitely not running rich, we checked the plugs, that's fine. Will check the vacuum hose today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 5, 2005 how do you check if the lambda sensor is fecked? Black sooty deposit around the end of exhaust but i pput that down to chip before i got pulley fitted. now pulley is fitted, its still black? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rustynuts 0 Posted September 5, 2005 Has it got the required 3.5 bar fuel pressure reg? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 5, 2005 no but i was told by the bloke i bought it off Ant aka banana man that it doesnt nec need one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody 0 Posted September 6, 2005 I beleive that Darren does no longer fit the 3.5 bar FBR as the standard 3.0 is good enough to run even with red top injectors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted September 6, 2005 havent got red top injectors either though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
