Title: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: buk9tp on May 07, 2009, 04:52:56 AM: about 3 quarts a week!

compression is still good... trying to get a leak down test going here as soon as i can find someone with the right equipment....

car doesnt smoke.... it runs fine... idk.. this shit sucks.. buk cant afford a fucking rebuild :( nor can he afford another fucking motor...

basically i need to add about a quart every other day...

Post by: j.h.christ on May 07, 2009, 04:54:38 AM: is there a visible leak?
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: buk9tp on May 07, 2009, 04:57:05 AM: no leaks anywhere!!! car/ground/motor/oil pan everything clean

i park in the same spot every single day...

i just realized i dont think it did this when i ran my p75 ecu.....

so could vtec be causing it to eat oil lol

Post by: 97Econobox on May 07, 2009, 09:04:05 AM: My buddy said the same thing about his Oil consuming Spec V sentra. No smoke no leaks but when i followed him one day sure enough whenever he'd give it like anything over about 50% throttle it would puff. Nice and black too, Back of the car was never oily or anything though. I'd have someone follow you around for a bit and see if it is smoking only under load or something.

I mean that shit is going somewhere. :-\ good luck with it.

Post by: Jorsher on May 07, 2009, 09:16:02 AM: Sweet, and I thought my A6 was bad burning the same amount of oil :noel:

Definitely some visible smoke though. I spread cancer at every intersection.

Run a little seafoam through it to unstick the oil control rings.

Post by: chris on May 07, 2009, 02:13:52 PM: Motor is tired if its burning through that much oil. what were your compression #'s

If you say in the 180's the motor is worn out like every other usdm gsr motor
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: Jorsher on May 07, 2009, 02:37:58 PM: If that shit isn't leaking, I don't see how it's not smoking. Mine smokes like whoa and uses the same amount of oil per week. When I come to a stop, if the wind is right, a cloud of burning oil drifts by my window :noel:
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: chris on May 07, 2009, 03:28:51 PM: One of my zc's used about a quart of oil a month about a 1000 miles and it smoked like a chimney at wot above 4500 rpm's

The oil has to be burned off it just doesnt disappear

You sure you even have the right dipstick?

Post by: 89shithatch on May 10, 2009, 05:39:03 PM: at least you never have to change your oil. constant 24 hr oil change. spin a new filter one once in a while and give her.
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: chris on May 10, 2009, 05:45:03 PM: If the cars does burn that much oil the car will barely move on its own power

Post by: Corey on May 11, 2009, 04:14:58 AM: do you crack vtec alot? the vtec solenoid requires oil to engage, thats where all the oil is going to. everytime you hit vtec is uses a little oil, thats why people say vtec motors burn oil. theres always a downside to amazing techmology.

Ive had it leak at the honda bond seal bewteen the oil pump and block. Ive also had the oring between the oil pump and block go out. Hard to tell the difference bewteen those and an oil pan leak. These leaks sort of spray on the alternator and get the whole pan wet on that side.

I was using oil in my rebuilt ZC and it turned out my PCV valve was clogged. Switched to a catch-can setup and that fixed the issue.

My last d16a1 had great compression across all four cylinders, pulled hard to redline. Used 12 qts in 3000 miles. Fricken smokeshow. I think it was the first d16a1 ever made lol. Pulled the pistons and the oil rings were collapsed while the other rings looked ok. Could be related to something like that. This was obivous though. My car was like Pigpen with his little cloud following him around.

One of my friends works at a Honda/Acura dealer alternative, he sees that a lot. He suspects he can carb spray the gunk out of the oil control rings and put everything back together and it'd work fine.

Post by: Foowee on May 17, 2009, 01:06:18 PM: Idk the mustang guy said it could be a vtek crack over issue... i'd look there before I go tearing apart the bottom end.
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: Corey on May 17, 2009, 01:30:41 PM: EXACTLY!!! its such an obvious problem, i would def look there first.
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: Joseph Davis on May 17, 2009, 03:03:22 PM: I defer to the Mustang guy, as four cyls ain't got no goddamn torque + are a waste of time.
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: buk9tp on May 17, 2009, 03:42:47 PM: i have a catch can but too lazy to figure out how to install it :p
Title: Re: gsr crx burning oil very badly... boost it?
Post by: esi42 on May 25, 2009, 04:29:25 AM: Try it first. Cheapest fix if it works. Search around here, there tons of info on that.

Lazy way:

Gut the pcv valve, reinstall in manifold, attach hose and run to catch can. Then run the valve cover breather hose to another port on the can too. Plug the port on the manifold where the old pcv hose went. Plug the intake pipe port where the VC hose went. Hopefully your can has a breather filter on it.

Theres a better way where you keep the pcv valve in tact, but the writeup was on ohmt. I dont know if it made its way over.

I saw another writeup using the exhuast to draw the pressure out, like old v8 guys do. Probably the best way but the most cost/labor involved.
