Hi all
after getting my S2k turbocharged I have started to notice that my oil dipstick has poped up a few times and spraying oil onto the engine in my eyes it seems like the oil pressure is getting too high.

I thought about replacing the piston rings but as the engine will be apart so I might as well put low compression pistons in and replace the Gasket seal

I have looked at CP Pistons which seem very good for the price but wondered what you recommend?

 

Your dip stick popping out is not due to high oil pressure, it seems to me that you are getting positive crankcase pressure which is not good, either your breather system is blocked (the crankcase pressure should always be negative) or your rings have worn which then allows cylinder pressure to get past into the crankcase.

I'd do a leakage and compression test first which will show up any piston ring problems.

 

Stu, turn it round the other way, it works, trust me

And can I have my Prodrives back please?!

 

Is your engine breather still connected to the intake? That wouldn't be good.

 

Do a search its a common problem people have i just cant remember the answer.

 

Have you got crankvents or a catch can?

 

Just thinking if I lower the compression with pistons and gasket be much better for her :-(

 

Catch can mate

 

Not needed with the greddy kit have you hybrid the tubo yet, t620z it pulls so much better to redline. PS what psi are you at.

 

ah ok-

I think now there is actually a FRM liner friendly piston set available that will lower your compression. From what i have read, you really shouldnt need/want that with a Greddy turbo kit.
