GSR PROBLEM - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

txyang · 10-04-2002, 08:59 PM

I have an 1998 acura GSR. Theres something very weird about. The wierd part is that there's smoke coming from the Breather of valt head cover. There also oil coming out too.
The breather in the valt cover is it for engine to suck air in or out? What might the problem be? Anyone have any problem like that before?

take the breather off and run a hose to the fitting on the intake where it's supposed to be. the system is not designed to have a breather there.

I can take the breather and place a hole throught the intake but would that suck the oil to the Supercharge?
Would that be a bad thing? I also was gonna get like a felter(like a gas felter) in between the hole from the valt cover to the intake so that it can felter the oil. I'm not sure if that will work thought.
Hey so the engine should be okay then?

wait WAIT whoa!! you have a supercharger on there? i don't know or claim to know anything about the way a supercharger should be installed on a GSR. if this is the case, don't even bother reading anything else that i post...

if your car is N/A, there should be a fitting on the intake pipe that a hose the size of the fitting on the valve cover will fit. it may be capped or taped off or something.. this is where the hose should go.

again, i don't know A THING about supercharger installations.

plz don't go drilling into your intake.

i have the same problem with my LSturbo. it started happening after beating on it too much. i was told that i blew a piston ring. does ur shit idle a little low? thats exactaly what happened to mine, the smoke and oil coming out.

Check if your hoses are connected properly and leading to the correct area.

A friend of mine had a turbo and the hoses were interchaged...oil was spewed everywhere from the valve cover inlet.

Well, I check all the holes already and nothings wrong with it. Just the breather at the Valve Cover that have stream and oil. With the Supercharge it have the same intake as the stock. There's a breather in the intake too maybe I might just have to use the hole and connect from the valve cover to the intake with a (gasoline felter in between).

chris623 · 10-06-2002, 02:11 AM

did u change ur pistons to a lower compression ratio? how many PSI r u pushing with the supercharger? do u have stock exhaust?
I'm telling u i have the same problem and its going in the shop soon. what happens is when the oil seeps through into the combustion chamber and when ur valves open up the oil shoots out the breather. get ur rings checked out.

hey,

Thanks

chris623 · 10-06-2002, 12:33 PM
