Turbo

Wouldnt you say with the holes in the mystery object looks like oil ways ???? hence why i said it looked like a p.r.v. although looking at a gtir one it doesnt look like that ....

I think this is one for Mulder & Scully  :-/

Yes agree looks like that sort of thing, no comments on size or material of or why he looking at oil feed to start with so hard have answers really ...
Nose of the strainer look a right mullered mess & looking at mesh looks like it been stabbed inwards rather than object pasing out from hole .

i gave them a call

Best post in this thread so far lol

lol do miss Mulder & Scully, early series was entertaining ...

Seen similar looking things that are gallery restrictors.
Certainly needs a very very good checkover & more details added to the thread.

Scottish :-S

He sent me a photo of this earlier and I thought by pic on my phone it was pressure relief valve but changed my mind now.

I have a feeling that is part of the timing chain tensioner which works on sprung oil pressure, not 100% on that but will have a look at a tensioner on Monday to see if I'm a genius or a  lol

Im glad i wasnt the only one that thought pressure relief valve ....

ner ner ner i found it ..... oil squirter

^ Ah yes it the timing chain oil squirter.

Well done Nomad you get another Rep for that . :-(
:-D

Thanks b ..... atleast its mystery solved ..... i didnt see it as google images throws up the  picture of the mazworx uprated one wich looks different ....

Well done ^

Mystery solved, thanks nomad. Where does this leave me tho? Is this the reason am not getting any oil to the tubby?? Can i fit this myself?? 
That was i tough 1 for you guys haha

Sorry b i meant mazworx not nismo .... anyway here it is ^^^^^^^ .... says small mod is needed to fit it comes with a correct drill and tap with the purchase .... was like 15$ ....
Yeah was a tough one .... but with pulsars its a constant learning curve ....

^ that cheap with a drill & tap too.

Im having a bad day its $39 i didnt read it properly

Why would something like this come off??

Mate read back through and answer some of the questions from Mr B as its looking more and more likely you've got bigger issues than just no oil to the turbo, especially when your finding parts of your chain tensioner in the sump.

Nomad may have found the image but it was mister pedicure himself (bob) who led him down the right garden parth with tensioner. Them nails do look pretty on Facebook mate lol

Yep im not taking all the credit for it .... just got in first with info and pics ...m they can pop out under high oil pressure ....

I know i have big issues but i havnt got the knowledge to take the engine apart and find out, so looks like its going be a dead pulsar for a very long time or broke for parts

^ So what led you to think oil supply issue to Turbo, Dead turbo bearing !? & why it been laid it for a while ...
If that popped out it could of damaged sprocket - chain etc or even stabbed against oil pump housing puncturing/cracking it !
Would assume too with the squirter out a lot more oil can flow from that port possibly lowering flow considerably elsewhere.
Issue could also be crud blocking things, ie: chain squirter blocked & pressure forced it out & also perhaps blockages in oil feed to turbo.
Needs proper looking at to conclude what going on ...

Take the Credit Nomad, tensioner not look like that so will give you the top tech award this week ...
Spoke with engine machinist this afternoon as he quite into his sr20's & he said some people mod them by welding an extension to end so can not come out unless timing recover removed. Never seen one out till this thread but something will look at next sr20 job.

Is the squirter placed in such a way that a loose chain could knock it off?

Basically the story goes, i burst an oil pipe early last year although i only drove a few hundred meters it killed the engine!! So i payed alot of money for this  forged engine and fitted it with my dad who loves the pulsar more that me lol. I did about 300/400 miles and the tubby died, so i have brought a new tubby witch has cost me £0000s so b4 i i fitted it i wanted to know it had a oil supply and at the moment it seems there wasnt, so thats why my last tubby died and it wanst a standard 1 either £0000 down the pan. Now with this it mite be the final straw!!!

Looks like you may of picked up a poorly built forged engine.
Before giving up it maybe worth proper inspection & some thought as might be easier cheaper resolve than think.
Even if decide out of you price range or wanted involvement, if rest of car good enough you should be able sell it on at decent price as market little bit stronger at moment due to low availability.

I brought a pulsar with a forge engine and ran it for about 6months b4 i broke it so its something i have probably done wrong fitting it
