FG Turbo Engine Breath Heavy

[XR6T 520RWKW]

hi guys

was tuning my FG the other day and notice it was breathing very heavily.

the next day I brought the car home empty my catch can, replaced engine oil. still it is the breathing heavy specially  after long drive when the car gets very hot but the temperature  on dashboard never pass middle mark (I mean never over heat).

anything wrong with engine can be serious issue. anyone having any idea what it could be?

only thing is that it breath heavy. stem come out of catch can breather and engine oil in led.

only having it for last 3 months, god knows wht previous owner did to the car.

Sounds like a possible heart condition to me, best get your vet to take a look.

Of course it may just need a good rub down and fresh straw but good idea to check these things thoroughly.

Another thing to consider is whether the clubsport mare next door is in heat

 

Jokes aside, do you mean thermo fans are constantly coming on or what??

I mean steam come out of engine and catch can when pushing car hard. fan is ok,. I meant it never over heat or anything.,

Ah, steam

 

You've asked this question already, correct?

 

 

As already said in one of the other threads, 'some' oil vapour from a vented catch can will be normal, IIRC your motor is built so there will be more blowby than a stock motor.

However; 'a lot' of oil vapour means a lot of oil coming from somewhere, either

a) your catch can is sh*t and isn't separating the oil/air mixture at all, or

b) as ozywalker suggested your turbo has sh*t itself

 

If you haven't already, remove the intake elbow from your turbo and see what you can see

if it's clean then I'm guessing you'll need to brace yourself for some pocket hurting turbo repairs/replacement

Or blow by from broken ring lands

or broken valve stem seals

I did ask this once. at that time my catch can was breathing which I wasn't sure if vapor  is suppose to come out of it or not. as y might know this thing is my first turbo car.

now I know, little bit of  vapor is fine from catch can but the fact that I can see steam blowing out from engine inlet when took off the cap is worrying me.

 

I don't understand if my turbo is fked, how is this related to engine. turbo and engine is separate and when engine (car) is parked I can see steam blowing out but how this has to do with turbo.

Blowby under load is normal. Excessive blowby at idle is not and it shouldn't be smokey if there is any.

 

I'd start with a compression test and take it from there.
