Couple quick shots..... Reply #31 – June 17, 2006, 06:03:27 PM Well I don't know if it's the seal or something else. I did a DIY hybrid with my good T3 I had on the car previously.My return line might be too small, and is restricting flow. Never had a problem with it previously though. Quote Selected

Couple quick shots..... Reply #33 – June 18, 2006, 03:42:38 AM The belt set-up is similar to what I had on my 2.3T Ranger. Never had issue one in regards to belt slipage over the course of the year I drove it as a daily. Quote Selected
Couple quick shots..... Reply #34 – June 19, 2006, 08:25:27 AM Well, after taking the turbo apart, I think the oil issue might be my drain lineIt's only -8AN, but has been fine on 2 cars over the past 7 years or so. This had been with the stock feed line, so apparently the new -4AN feed line flows a bit much for this.I've got some -10AN hose and adapters, so I just need a couple straight hose ends and that's set.

Couple quick shots..... Reply #36 – June 20, 2006, 09:12:43 PM Ok, progress made, some lost.I installed the -10AN return hose, and the result was unchanged. Then I remembered something I did Sat right before it started puking. The breather hole in the v/c is open at the moment...so I plugged it with something. Shortly thereafter, the oil issue started. So I pulled that out and the oil issue lessed. I can't tell if it stopped all the way as it's still buring oil out of the pipes. This engine hasn't run in 1-1/2 years, and I'm not sure if I have a blowby issue, or just need to plumb that into the PVC hose to get a better vacspooge on the crackcase.What this means is with that plugged, I apparently as having some crankcase pressurization issues...which was prohibiting the oil to drain into the block.... I'll see what happens with a couple fittings and some more hose for the PCV.I need to tweak my throttle cable bracket. It's not allowing the TB to close all the way. Not a big deal.My alternator doesn't appear to be charging. At first I thought it was because I had forgotten to tighten the cable on the alt..but that didn't help. It's a 3G, so maybe a regulator or something. Didn't look too close. Only getting 12.4V while running.Tach still does not work....I need to just run a new wire from the coil to the tach and see if that is the issue. I have tach readings on the MT.Somehow the run-on prime issue has solved itself. I was shutting down the MT and had to turn the key to on really quick to power the MS unit and I realized I didn't hear the pump running when I was done. SO I checked it 3 more times. Worked every time. Perhaps it was a sticky relay or something that sorted itself while things ran.I thought the O2 sensor was boogered by the oil, because I was getting no V reading....but then it came alive after fixing the puking issue.So really aside from the possible bad alternator and the PCV thing it's coming along.I did actually move it out of the garage on it's own power though :hick:..first time in a long time that I have't had to push it out.

Couple quick shots..... Reply #37 – June 24, 2006, 09:40:03 PM A couple more quick shots of things on the car.Got the battery mount doneA pic of the relay board of the MegaSquirt set-upA quick shot of the interior showing where the MS ECU will be mounted under the pass seat.The oil situation seems better. The blow-by issue is slowly clearing up and there is MUCH less oil smoke out of the tailpipe. Still need to get the breather tank though. Quote Selected
Couple quick shots..... Reply #38 – June 25, 2006, 07:54:11 AM Ive been having PCV/blow by issues myself. You can pick up some decent catchcan setups for rather cheap on ebay, downfall is theyre chrome. If you have access to a bead blaster, and paint it, its not a problem. Quote Selected
