do you have a toda or EP3 oil pump? I have a friend with toda oil pump and he has the same problem. the oil inside its not leakproof as the OEM oil pump

@Zuglos No, I have OEM FN2 oil pump.

Do you know the reason for the engine breakdiwn now?

[qrs13]

@Fskylos Two most probable reasons are:

1) oil starvation issue

2) too big pressure in the cylinder

But none of them is confirmed to be THE root cause. New engine is almost ready, so will see how will behave this one. It's beeing build with baffled sump and we will lower also a little bit air pressure.

@Wurdelprumpft yes it sounded like it was revved a bit past its limits and after that its like it backfired a couple off times.. But it may just be camera that's making strange noises

@sasajungic89 since 6:20 the engine sounds bad. Right!

[qrs13]

@sasajungic89 Engine is not yet in, I'm waiting for baffled sump to arrive, but everytning else is done and prepared for new season.

[sasajungic89]

@qrs13 I'm thinking about travel there may to, so maybe.. Do you have a new engine in it?

oil starvation is a common problem in these high revving engines.. Same with 2zzge from corolla and celica t sport!!

@sasajungic89 Shifting down from about 7,500 rpm goes up to about 8.500 which is slightly bellow my limiter which is set up for 8.600 rpms. Could be related, but hard to tell. Two most probable reasons are:

1) oil starvation issue

2) too big pressure in the cylinder

I'm going there as well again, most probably beginning of May and then in August/September timeframe. Good luck and maybe see you there.

@One21P This is not stock car, I have installed Rotrex supercharge. I had no issue with stock car on the track at all.
