so tgreaves came over tonight to get the car running. Everything was going good, started it up to find out my dumbass self let off the oil filter Yea, i put together a fully built gsr turbo motor, completly just forgot to put the filter on there. The car was running for about 5-10 sec before we notice the oil shooting out the back of the block. OK, no big deal.

so we put a filter on and fire her up again. Look at that, no oil pressure. take out the ecu fuse and crank it, no oil pressure. Did that for awhile took off the turbo feed, it was barely dripping oil. Ok, took the feed off the back of the blook, barely dripping oil. Took of the oil filter where 10 minutes before hand was shooting out oil, barely dripping oil.

We pulled the oil pan and windage tray, oil pickup is clean, everything was tight, oil pump looked clean (as much as we could see).

Now im stuck, everything checks out, but ZERO oil pressure. The only thing i can think is that somehow the pump took a **** in that 10 second amount of time? Maybe an oil passage got clogged? I need some ideas....

Built gsr, oil squiters still in. Honda bearings, arias 9:1 eagle rods... 10w30 oil

How would you even go about cleaning out, or checking the oil passages...???

 

 

 

This might be too obvious, but I have to ask just to make sure.

You re-filled the oil to replace what came out the first time right?

 

yea....

 

WHAT?? You forgot to put an oil filter on it.... Oh boy..

 

lol. i just got done putting the new oil pump on. God damn upper bolt hole was stripped so i tried rethreading it and put hondabond around the oring instead of just oil. I ran compressed air through the oil hole and it shot straight out the oil filter spot without any problem. So im gonna wait a little bit, put the pick windage tray and pan back on and hopefully i hav oil pressure...

 

Im sure it will work fine now.. If it turns out that it is the oil pump that was bad, remove the back cover and check it out..

 

Oh yea, i also clearanced the oil pickup and theres between 1/4 and 1/2" clearance all the way around. So hopeing thats good.

You *****.. Ill bring my impact screwdriver with me on Sunday if everything else works out.....I think you need to go out this weekend and drink a few beers after all this..

 

yea, i spent some of the tuning money on the oil pump and gaskets/seals. Im gonna have to figure something out, but i'll have it for you. maybe sell a kidney or something

Hmm.... You did say you wanted a 12.5:1 air/fuel ratio under boost didnt you.. And we can do my ignition test in your car, some other engines didnt fair out too well with my test but I have faith in yours since its got a new oil pump on it..

 

we can do whatever you want and take as long as you want as long as it doesnt mess my **** up

I may have left the oil filter off, but you go ahead and leave a damn wrench on the crank and tell me to start it

Always make sure your car is tip top before turning it over to the tuner..
