Would need to be high 90mm or more because of my displacement. and I don't think there is even enough room for a turbo that size, not in a Daily Driver at least.

Can you route crossover pipe OVER the bellhousing area. There is a LS kit for like a silverado or suburban where the turbo is housed high and near front right head.

I know you said you can't do single...

No, I don't think so. At least not with how far back my engine is. I was looking at possibly doing this to make 180 degree headers and even small header pipes wouldn't work.

Friend let me pull the car in his garage and do a quick check of the car. Still Slower than his FBO E85 GTR



Got the manifold off quickly:



I have a little over 6000 miles on the engine and intake ports look disgusting. The intake manifold had a significant amount of oil pooled inside of it. I need a catch can ASAP. Completely my fault as I figured I could wait while I do research on the best option for my situation. Guess I was wrong and just need to throw something on there while I research.



You can see how filthy the car is from having to park in the yard and getting rain. Too cold to wash the car . You can also see the oil pooled at the mouth of the throttle body:



Quick wipe of the intake ports, getting the valley plate off was a nightmare. One of the hex button heads stripped and I had to hammer in a larger hex socket to get it out. Took forever to do it as I didn't want to have to drill it out and retap it.



Pretty sure the shavings are from the bottom of the valley cover and were knocked loose while hammering the socket on. Still weird that there are shaving in the engine this far along I would think.



Paint on the throttle body failed as well. Going to try and tear it down to get it powder coated.



More updates on next oil change and catch can set-up to come.

Soooooooooooo have you checked compression again? I think your ring gap is all wrong or rings situated wrong and you have significant blow by. That is ALOT of oil residue with only that many miles and hasn't the entire issue revolved around oil pressure??

I could just be tired.

I have not yet. Very good idea though. I need to look a the plugs anyway. Especially if the ports are that covered in oil. Problem being I can only get to 6 of them. I need to get a new set of headers soon. Just hard deciding if it's worth spending money on if I am going to go turbo or not.

I was going to use my catch can I had left over from the FA20, but it's huge. I instead bought a smaller one from Amazon that seems to have good reviews. Should be able to toss some stainless steel scrub pad to help with separating the oil out. Looking at ordering another one for the "Clean" side here soon. Which currently has breathers on it per what TSP recommended. The more I research, the more I see a catch can is a better direction.

Need to get some quality -6an hose and a couple more fitting so I can have a cleaner looking set-up than just rubber hose.

$35 and tossed in a few feet of rubber hose for a few dollars more. See how it does.

Well I did few things. Oil change and catch can install... Not good news (and possible some good news).





Everything is coated in a small even layer of very finely ground metallic dust as well.

Posted it up on facebook and instagram and tagged Texas Speed, they finally responded on how it wasn't normal. They should be contacting me today to see what happens. I am assuming they will want me to send my engine to them and if they determine they did something wrong, fix it under warranty. If they don't think it was because of them I will be presented a bill for labor and if I want them to fix it, a parts list/bill for that as well.

I also received the catch can. Built a simple mount for it out of some scrap metal bar.





Funny enough I was looking at it before the local club meeting and had some friends check to make sure the hoses didn't collapse under vacuum... They did instantly... So I put on the good rubber fuel/oil hose that won't collapse under vacuum.

Edit: Texas Speed isn't going to warranty the engine, but still want me to send it back for a tear down. Not worth the time/money to send the engine to them. I'll just either have a friend help tear it down, or have one of the LS guys here tear it down. 417 Motorsports is extremely good and seems to know Texas Speed. Owner is an acquaintance/friend as well.

Past the 1 year warranty date. So their warranty starts on Ship date.

Rip it out and disassemble. Triple check all the clearances to see what caused the issue to make sure it doesn't happen again. Put it all back together and hope it doesn't happen again.
