Still having problems !! - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

with my dip stick popping out when i take my car to wide open throttle ehehe. I just got my Greddy catch can yesterday and just installed it today and took it out for a quick drive on wide open throttle most of the way to the nearest 7-11 and the dipstick still popped out about an inch

. I was wondering if any of you other boosting 5S-FE owners out there have this problem ? how about you, Ufoz8mycow ? i think i got the same catch can as you and i think i remember reading you hit around 11psi.. any feedback would be great

o btw.. im pretty sure the catch can helps out a little, on regular driving to mild acceleration the dipstick doesnt come out and even on wide open throttle it doesnt come out as much as it did before

sounds to me that compression is getting past the rings or maybe a stuck pcv valve.

i recently changed the PCV valve and im pretty sure its just crank case pressure, i dont see any oil coming out at all and im sure if it was blow by there would be oil coming out with the dipstick

run both a compression test AND a leakdown test to know for sure

i wonder if the reason could be because i removed my balancer from the crank and since theres more air now.. theres also more turbulance under the crank when its spinning really fast... what do you guys think ?

Go get those tests run
guessing costs money while possibly harming more parts

hey whats up, havent heard from you in a while.. hows the Camry running ? did you get it tuned yet ? maybe it hasnt happened to you yet cause you arent running 12.5psi like me ehehe. Ill get a compression test done when i get the car back from the bodyshop sometime next week.

My camry is running great but I haven't brought it to a dyno tuner, instead I have a Plxdevice M500 Wideband O2 Sensor. So, I'm watching those numbers as I go, but I'm feeling hard pulls (than normal

) at 5psi. I'm happy but I would love to get up to where your at Shook. Your camry is the bar I'm aiming for.

Unfortunately I'm still using that useless HKS S-AFR... :-( It took me a week to figure out how to use it, but I think I could do better after I get enough money for a E-Manage and etc.. I want to beable to tune my timing and fuel to maximize my torque and hp.
