Suprasteve Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Since going BPU i've noticed fine oil spray in various parts of the engine. Would this help to stop it and is this particular type/brand any good ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OIL-CATCH-BREATHER-TANK-TOYOTA-MR2-SUPRA-WRX-IMPREZA_W0QQitemZ7998512636QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale B Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 It'll depend where the "fine oil spray" is coming from. If its "on various parts" of the engine bay like you say Id be more worried where its cominf from as opposed to where you want it to go. Theres also some opinions on here with regard to crank pressures when fitting these oil catch tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres also some opinions on here with regard to crank pressures when fitting these oil catch tanks it's mainly coming from the MBC and occationally dripping on the alternator. I will soon be upgrading to an electronic BC which i think is plumbed in in a different place to where the MBC is so may solve that problem. Also getting a little leak by the stock BOV. Nothing major, more annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 looks like the turbos are pushing oil through the seals. Overspeeding them doesn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprasteve Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 looks like the turbos are pushing oil through the seals. Overspeeding them doesn't help. i try to keep the boost limited to under 1.2 bar but with the crappy MBC it does occationally go over, hence will be upgrading to electronic BC as soon as i can get the funds. Best i stay off full boost until i've upgraded right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
