  • oil consumption!

    alright well its been quite a few months since my NA 2 T project, and it looks like oil is always missing! the motor doesn't burn blue or smoke, im 100% sure i have no oil leaks.
    before the motor went in i had concerns that the engine had been sitting outside for a while.
    anyone have some insight as to where my oil is going?

    also i only seem to have 10PSI of oil pressure at idle, but once on the throttle it stays up in the 50-60 range.

    At least yours consistently loses oil. Sometimes I am full and sometimes i am 1 quart down ops:. Completely random so far

    Terrible idea putting those wheels on...

      Engines burn oil. Just the way it is. may be a little bit but they still do.

      How much oil are you missing between checks?

      10psi I would think is normal at idle.

        i usually check it when i gas up, about every 4 to 5 days
        sometimes its missing half of what the dipstick reads, like walf way from L to H
        i was thinking the turbo might be on it way,also i have no exaust, does this affect oil consumption?

          Having no exhaust will not cause loss of oil. If the turbo is leaking you would see the smoke. Best bet is just to keep it topped off until the problem showes up on its own. Unless you feel like digging and finding out what is deffinatly going on.

            How is the drain for your turbo?
