burning oil after JB4, catless DP, chargepipe, intake installed

mxrider3355 · 08-04-2016, 11:07 AM

I recently put in JB4, catless DP, chargepipe, and intake

since then the engine has started burning oil at an alarming rate... has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?

it is burning a quart every 1000-1500 miles, I have seen plumes of smoke at intermittent times

I run map 2 on the JB4... thanks for all your help guys!

How long have you had those mods on the car?

Do you have an oil catch can installed?

I hate to think that the seals in the turbo are damaged, but that's possible as well. Remove one of the charge pipes or inlet near the throttle body and check for oil residue. If it is clean there may be an internal engine issue.

There is a thread on n54tech # 34926, incase the link doesn't work.

Bent rod caused extreme oil consumption.

My car burns oil at an alarming rate, and I don't have any modifications. In fact, the BMW dealer told me it was no big deal. Strangely, it has subsided somewhat in recent months. I was having to add a quart every 1,500-2,000 miles.
