my 01 gsr is burning like 2 quarts of oil every two weeks!!! whats the problem?? i have a skunk2 intake manifold, iceman cold air intake, dc 4-2-1 stainless steel headers, tanabe super-racing medallion exhaust, greddy 310cc fuel injectors, and AEM fuel rail, and a apex V-AFC(not programmed.) I was running lean when i installed the intake manifold but then i insalled the fuel injectors to counter that problem? whats wrong?!!!

 

getting to much fuel?? those are big injectors for minimal mods you have done..not sure that would cause you to burn oil though

your leaking oil somewhere obviously

 

I"m getting depressed... that's what's wrong-

You might have an issue with your valve seals, do a compression test and leak down... pull the head and look at the seals also-might not see much, but if ther's any rips or tears you should see em.

 

You are either leaking it or you are burning it. You would probably know if you were leaking it, unless you are a complete rube. If you are burning it there are two places that it could be coming from.
#1-your valve guide seals.
#2-your piston rings.

Since you have an 01 GSR and you are on an island, chances are that it's not the valve guide seals. Valve guide seals usually leak on higher mileage cars.

The first thing to do is get the car tuned. If you are running too rich, it's possible that you are washing your cylinder walls down with fuel and losing your ring seal that way. Oil gets past the rings and into the combustion chamber.

If you are not running too rich, then you may have out of round cylinders. Again, oil will get past the rings and into the combustion chamber for burning. The repair would be to bore the engine and put in oversize pistons and oversize piston rings. Or replace the short block. If the car is still under warranty, you may be able to get Honda to foot the bill for the repair. It would greatly enhance your chances of getting the repair covered under warranty if you returned the vehicle to stock trim.

 

Sounds like blow-by caused incorrect installation of pistons & rings. Oil is seeping through your rings into the combustion chamber.

 

Are you the original owner? Did you buy it used from a Honda Dealership. Do you have less than 50,000mi? If you answered yes to either of the first two and no to the second, who cares what it is? It's still under warranty. Drop it off at the dealer and tell them your prob.
