I went down to the local NAPA this morning to buy some break in oil and the store super was there. He wanted to sell me some 15w-40 weight oil. I left there and called the machine shop where I got the work done and talked with the guy that owns the place. He set me up with some of this
Free Shipping - Driven Racing Oil BR30 Break-In Motor Oil with qualifying orders of $109. Shop Engine Oil at Summit Racing.
He actually gave it to me for a better price than Summit sells it for. I asked him if I might have a problem getting the rings to seat properly now and he had no decaffeinate answer. I guess I'm going to hope for the best.

I just use the cheapest 30w I can get and change it at 20mile or one hour idling at 2k then change it again to my standard fill at 100miles.Beater=/= Sleeper

In my effort to try and fix the high idle issue, I replaced the BP manifold that I modified with another that I sourced from the j/y. I had used brake cleaner to try and find air leaks and decided that the modded manifold was indeed leaking air. Unfortunately, the replacement didn't fix the problem. Upon visual inspection, I did find another leek in the intake pipe system. One of the terminator caps I had used was rubbing up against the pipe that goes to the turbo and had worn the end off of it.
I think I'm going to have to take a good look at the pipes that come from the SMIC to the intake. I can't adjust it so it fits right since this intake manifold is shaped different than the GTX I removed.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

This might be totally irrelevant but, I had a high idle issue with low coolant. The ECT needs to see water or it will peg the idle at 2K, well in my case anyways. I kept chasing the timing since I had just done the belt and turned out I didn't burp the system well enough. Maybe the sensor is bad or plug? You still in the Couve?Last edited by 93EGTT; 09-30-2015, 09:46 AM.

I ordered some silicone couplers and clamps just this morning. That intake setup is going to be a hanging question until I do.
A FMIC is a great idea, but I ain't gonna lie. I raced a modded Suby a few days ago and beat him. For my driving, I don't need it, and it brings attention I don't need. What I really need is a new wide band, I mean tires. lol I'm sitting here looking at the box my Innovate came in that's been sitting here in my living room for the last two months.
Edit-It wasn't by much, but he had the better lane. He should have had me with no trouble.Last edited by 1st Gen; 09-30-2015, 02:38 PM.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

Two quarts of oil per tank full. No signs of leak, accept for the smell. Passed DEQ. I wouldn't think they'd pass it burning so much oil. I don't know WTF.
Call the rebuild a fail and tear it apart again?

honestly that sounds like the turbo seals might be shot. have you checked the inside of the turbo to see if its wet or shows signs on either side of oil??
2 quarts per tank is quite alot for just the motor alone---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

I'm going to tear this car apart again. I was hoping it would get better but it's not.
I'm going to do some research into oil burning issues with a focus on valve seals, oil rings, and break in process. Depending on when this happens, I might be able to rebuild the turbo as well.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss
