Exactly like Damond’s stage one location routing. Took of intake manifold to confirm the tubing was fine and oil catch can was indeed working with vacuum from intake manifold as it was intended.

yea I have too much crank case pressure. I have a thought. I have a slight bend in the hose going to the Damond Motorsports oil catch can on driver side from the pcv but it’s like a weird bend it make that portion of the hose flatten out to curve in such a manner it’s decreasing the ID of the...

How much oil pressure in crank case is normal. Took the oil cap off while it was idling to kinda see. There was quite a bit of air just puffing out with the pistons going up and down and I put a paper towel over the fill hole to see how much oil would be splashing out so I’m not sure how much is...

Had that replaced with Damond’s pcv with the thier oil catch can setup and there pcv plate upgrade but I’ll take a look. At this point I’m just doing process of elimination -valve cover gasket because it is leaking in two major areas behind engine but not enough to drip on the ground but is...

Here’s the top of the turbo to the tmic It wasn’t pooled but it it has quite a bit of just residue.

I did have to take manifold/and throttle body degreased and cleaned out with the intake valves before I started the tuning process not throughly ofc just used engine degreaser and brake cleaner.

Update: Did some borescoping, pistons look bone dry and in great shape so yall were right not much there to see. Still a lot of carbon/oil residue on spark plug hole threads yet no sign of it leaking from above into the spark plug wells so I don't know how oil would be getting into my spark plug...

Too add to that around the edge of the valve cover looks like black soot oily film it’s not extremely bad but it’s there right around the edge like a small accumulation of dirt oil ect.

Well I just pulled the spark plugs and they got obvious wet oil residue on the threads, which just got replaced at 95k and I never paid attention to the OG original ones I threw out which came with the car at 70k from car max so who knows when those got changed. the old ones never seemed this...

Well either way when that one time a was just checking oil level at around 4000 mile mark oil level was like on the bottom tip below the min mark I tried for an hour to understand what I was seeing was actually real. So I changed the oil had only about 4.5 quarts come out and yes I let it drain...

Mandan I did do both. Cold check was worse like on the minimum dot. Thought hot was always the proper way on checking engines oil level because of oil molecules expanding when heated. Read that somewhere on this forum.

Mazdaspeed 2012 bought from car max with 70k miles on it. Put about 25k miles on it so far so I’mat 96k miles right now. Bone stock up until now with added mods listed done around the 90k miles mark. Before it was heavily modded, on one day about a year and a half ago I was driving and pulled...

It has been awhile seems to favor the left a teeny bit. I rarely drive it( the work truck is my main) so I never paid attention to that until now.

To add to this in case anyone else runs into this issue and to help eliminate stupid questions. I continued to have some sporadic fuel cut and over boost code at wot even after fixing supposed leaks and boost hose leak. Would only happen with the revised map 1.03 because of the added torque and...

Well should have just diagnosed the problem with some compressed air before coming on here with a whole essay asking why I might be over-boosting. I had the compressor at about 8-15 psi so I don’t think it should have been blowing soap bubbles with that amount of psi I was putting through the...

HI!…says nobody. I’m slightly new to this forum and only been modding my cars since 4 years ago when I really got into it so limited on knowledge in cars but know the basics. Mazdaspeed 3 2012 bought from CarMax bone stock @70k miles Current mileage 95k this is a weekend car. I have 4 vehicles...

Quick question, I have never ran anything but octane rating 93, now to my knowledge the greenies (EPA) wants to ruin our engines with ethanol gunking it up and lowering the life of the engine. From what I have heard ethanol free gas extends the life of gasoline engines. Now I don’t know about...
