...car at idle, cruising, and WOT. I see 100+ PSI / 7-8 bar at WOT. With 3-4 bar at idle and up to 5 while cruising.
I might have a faulty oilpump from what it seems in these forums and other BMW forums as my year was affected with the plastic internals. Other symptom is the obvious unable to...
Theres 2 locals here running the RP turbo, both have had oil feed issues. Until they figure that out, id prefer not to go that way.
Thanks for the input.
I dont launch, so Im not sure about this.
The time has come to move on to my next project; so I thought I'd do a little writeup on the best car I've ever owned.
I bought this car during COVID. Initially going in to grab a red 3.0, they sold that on me; so they offered me a steal on a white 2.0. Being a frugal man in his late 30s, I...
I had a reply in mind but it's related to coolant temps not oil temps. But I can't delete my reply so I guess I'll suggest filling the coolant and trying again.
There's a bleed procedure to run as well. Not sure the Supra steps but in BMW land it's a couple of things turned on, then you set the...
you're comparing oil to gas which is a horrible comparison. oil isnt being ignited.
and yes people in hot climates have oil consumption issues, and have said switching to heavier weight fixed it. euro vs domestic b58s aren't that different nor is bmw going to rebuild an entire enigne just to use...
lol i'm really not sure why you get so sensitive if someone chooses to run oil that was recommended by the manufacturer. obviously "it doesnt matter at the end of the day". pump 87 because "it doesnt matter at the end of the day". the ecu will just re-learn all the timing based on knock sensors...
I had the same error message on the dash. Below is a summary of what the issue was for me. I have no idea if this is your issue, good luck though:
There were two problems, both caused by me: The first was the cold air intake, where it connects to the turbo/engine was loose letting in more air...
I’m sure you could drop the subframe with floor jacks and have it in and out within a days time. I have a lift so it made it so much easier being able to sit on a rolling chair and work. Being my first time I was able to get all the panels off and drop the subframe in like 4 hours and replace...
nice! I am glad that worked, I have never used one of these before and I was worried if I ever had to replace my oilpump I would have to buy a specific one to fit the Supra.
I almost want to preemptively replace mine
I just went and got one from habor freight, I’ll probably never use it again lol. Bought it solely for this one job. Unless some how I break another oilpump.
I sent you this as a message, but once I consolidated it, I figured I might as well put it down for posterity, in case anyone was curious.
I posted 08/12/2024:
After getting towed in 08/12/2024 they Told me they were going to start an official oil consumption test. I was pretty annoyed...
...3.0 has been at the dealership due to the oil consumption issue for about 3 months. They replaced 6 piston assemblies, the water pump, the oilpump, and a ton of seals/gaskets.
I was expecting the battery to die, because I didn't think the dealer would maintain it while it was sitting for...
Shawn will do anything and everything he can to not cover his products after they’ve been shipped. Same with Tony Vargas. If you want a hybrid, go with Pure. Otherwise go full frame.
yes, I see large puffs of smoke when I pull hard in higher gears ? Shawn thinks it’s the oilpump that is inconsistent between cars and in some cars sends too much oil to the turbo
Nice! I was able to BARELY break 6. The goal for next year will be to break 5.
No not yet. After installing the restrictor, I still am seeing smoke again. I have been logging and have lost about 5mm of oil level across 500km (full is 96mm raw oil level).
Shawn is going to send me an oil drain...
