oil in intake pipe and turbo

[greyGS-T]

I'm in the process of putting a B16G on a @G and when I took off the intake pipe I noticed oil sitting in the pipe and a little sitting on the inlet of the turbo. I assume this is coming from the tube that runs from the valve cover to the intake. Is this a bad thing to have happening? By the way I bought the K&N filter to eliminate this in the future. Any help would be appreciated. Please dont flame or make fun of me for this I know it might be a well known thing for some but not all.

It's an inevitable thing until you do a blowby filter mod. Gangs of threads, and try this:

It's the same for 1G and 2G.

Yep don't worry about it.

Thanks guys. I figured it was harmless but I thought I would ask anyway. I bought just the K&N filter to keep it from happening anymore.

Here's an even better solution that's practically free-- just unplug the breather hose from the intake and plug the intake. Just let the hose hang down toward the ground. You could get a longer hose if you want, to make sure it gets all the way past the engine so any oil doesn't blow all over the place.

only bad thing about that, is if you go to the track you might get oil everywhere.

If you're losing enough oil to noticeably mess up the track, you've got more serious problems to worry about.

if you're so concerned about the oil, get a lil catch can and hook it up to the oil line after you disconnect it. make it chrome and get rice points
