Not saying that oil peeing out of a breather isn't another sign though.I would put the catch tank back on tbh mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thorpy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 i have a catch tank with a breather on the top of it and its smoking out of the breather and blowing some oil through, i had a compression test, 1st cylinder was quite alot lower than the others and most people so far are saying its piston rings so you could have the same problem maybe?

Sparky Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Its not a good sign.Mine ended up with a pool of oil over the rocker cover, ring/piston failure Does your car seem lumpy on idle, almost sounds like a Scooby? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 as suspected, piston 3 damaged.Take it your running a stock manifold.What mods you got and what boost you running? poxy FCD?? etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When it got imported it had air filter,hks dv,hks fcd and an exhaust. It was boost at 0.8. So got it turned down to 0.6 then 2wks later this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
birdmandan Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I also think mine is doing this not too sur ethough i will go check now, im scared! hehe.As asked before, are the piston rings an expensive fix? easy to D.I.Y?Dan.x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 The FCD probably the main cause if its not had the fueling set up to match.My mate has recently blown his Glanza AGAIN because of the shitty FCD, had a rebuild about 5k ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
