no i dont i have a 97 2.4 but i have the 2.3 intake manifold and all the goodies for the turbo and all bolt ons. no oil leaks in valve cover or any part of engine but i felt that i was loosing torke and i removed the manifold and saw all the oil on every port but like slimy oil

could be the oil seal on the turbo, but that my 2 cents.


When in doupt, grub.

it is your PCV dumping oil into your intake tract....get a catch can.

That, or you have bigger problems..... I would start with Josh's idea of the catch can first..

do you have a picture of a ld9 with catch can????? because i don't know how to install it in my car, i've seen it in other cars and it seems easy my i aven't seen it in an LD9 with a 2.3 intake.

i would say pcv system, just vent it to atmosphere!

that's what i thought since the 2.3 intake is blocking the hole between port 2 and 3 i was thinking it could be something like that, so u recommend me just install a filter breather on the hose of the pcv???

or get a barbed fitting and tap a hone in the manifold then run a hose over to the intake side of the turbo

wouldn't this send oil fumes to the turbo???? would it damage the turbo?????

i thought its goes on the side of the throlle body ......... im i right?????? any pics with turbo on how to install the catch can???

That hole in the head simply flows right down into the PCV....just run a simple catch can, don't over think it, just make sure you get enough vent.

do you hany any pics with the catch can installed????

the deal with catch can is to cut the hose between the pcv and the manifold ,run those hoses to the can . the can should have a drain that opens and closes. some have breather filters on them check moroso on summit. also some guys put stanless wool inside to help cool off and seperate the oily air.another thing to know is that the oily air will cut down the octane quality in combustion .i 'm not familiar w/your motor as i have a 2200 but you can def incorporate it in the setup. the other posters are right about this
