Piggysniffer Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ooooh **** ! Fingers crossed mate but that coulda been why the engine let go the first time ? You mighta caught it in time before serious damage, defo keep an eye on the turbo now as that woulda suffered if oil pressure low, maybe that's why you had hesitation too as it probs couldn't run the avcs properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Hope you've caught it early enough that it's not done any damage . Do you know anyone who could fix the damage and weld a brace or fish plate in to strengthen it at the same time ? Might be a better option than buying/ waiting for a standard replacement.

Piggysniffer Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I just replaced mine from "import car parts", changed the oem for an oem, mine was fine but I needed to rule it out of the equation, so while had sump off thought may as well change it, will probs end up getting a killer b one at some point if I've not burned the car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen369 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Anyone know were to get a killer b one from next day delivery uk stock like? Going to order a new oem tomorrow morning otherwise family member can weld braze ally weld ect anyone modded one? The pipe was sweet when fitted sure of it i cleaned it fitted new oring ect sure i would of spotted it [emoji25] oil pressure was showing 80psi at 5000rpm rev so hopefully no damage Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Could try giving Alyn @ Asperformance a bell, he might have a aftermarket oil pick up in stock and dispatches fast . Alyn +441914103770 The "fixing / strengthening the old 1 was just a idea , as I don't know much about the 2.5 pick up. I just thought if it's a weak point , why not upgrade it to rule it out . My original 2ltr oil pick up is nearly 23yrs old and still keeps up with my rcm oil pump fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I wouldn't waste over £150 in the killer b one, it the other extreme and totally over engineered & over priced . I wouldn't repair yours but indeed you could. What we do is cut some 1.5mm walled tube in half and braze to flange and pipe covering the weak joint area then add a 1.8mm tapered gusset from flange edge to past first bend in pipe & braze that on . another gusset on pick-up filter end goes up and feeds into top gusset. we change flange bolts to 12.9 allen sockets as easier fit with reduced room of gusset & welds near flange (also add drop of threadlock on them). Windage baffle plates quite good for these too especially if likely do some track or do speedy road work on twisty b roads. material cost isn't £5 for oil pipe & result is several times stronger than plain oem . Money best spent on a good oil pressure gauge with memory & settable low pressure warning . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen369 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Ended up with new oem one fitted it tested oil pressure cold start up is 80psi Warm idle is 30psi And as soon as you rev goes to 90psi Pressures sound all good? Going to order some gauges today and a pod still dont trust the car [emoji85] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen369 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Also very hesitant an a little jerky is it just my driving being use to dirty dieselsss [emoji85] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr B Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 wants a good check over & run on rollers really, loads of minor things cause poor running from det sensor, afm, simple air leak etc . I expect stress from removal & refitting finished the old oil pipe off as if had been running long like that mains would of been shot. oil pressure seems about right, oil pressure, boost & wideband are 3 must have gauges really . Hopefully just simple niggles and all will be good . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen369 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Fingers crossed mr b fingers toes and everything inbeetween. Can not thank you enough for all the advice an guidance.

Jay762 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have only found two wheel rollers local to us - possibly looking at Telford (Severn Valley Motorsport), Cheltenham (Litchfield), Warwick (TDR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen369 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Got some prosport steepers on the way tomorrow put my mind at rest on this oil business. I have put a silcon covered inlet pipe to the turbo on when rebuilt engine would that make it hessant and jerky as not mapped for it maybe? Top man jay762 will get on it going to have to get it on rollers soon like mrb says check all out properly[emoji106] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Good chance that the unmapped bigger turbo inlet pipe is causing running issues . As a friend fitted one to his bug sti and it brought up a code with the eml light. Once mapped in it was fine [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There is a specific thread on the unfortunate situation PS has found himself in - shall we just leave that there - suffice it to say TDR in Warwick has received some recent positive feedback. They also do just straight pulls for diagnostics not mapping which may be useful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen369 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Just this minute got the gauges in very dark will take a picture tomorrow. Oil pressure reading 1.5 bar on tick over at the lowest about 21psi that seem ok or low still paranoid about oil ect. Car running better touch wood after blast out last nite and tank of fuel also. dont know if that helped ive only put in high octane. Not had time to ring about the dyno yet Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Is that fully up to temperature? At cold start you'd expect around 6.0bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen369 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 6 bar pressure when cold and when rev or drive not got the oil temp sensor in yet thats a tonight job. 1.5 bar was at idle after a drive round the block at cruise speed Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
