that amount of smoke and the color is definately oil, I would suspect that you lost the rear seal on the turbo, looks exactly like my GT-R at the moment, car runs fine, covers the neighborhood in smoke though, and look out if you decide to hit boost, you will look like James Bond trying to get away from somebody.

I havn't even got to feel boost yet!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif I think I might pull it out and Blow done the street https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png peg my boost gauge.. I sure hope its just the turbo or god this car will never run...

I lucked out, it appears to be just the turbo. The turbo exhaust mani was clean...I am going to strap on some n/a exhaust to be sure tho..

well the smoke from in the first pic is from the oil burning that he pumped in the engine when it was sitting so it wouldn't get messed up.

I thought your turbo was new?How could it be dead already?

HAHAHAHHAHA too much premix! Damn i was scared for a good minute...

1 oz to 1 gallon, you would make the Exxon Valdez jealous.

TheCamel 06-28-2003 09:00 PM

good, now get back to tuning slacker

pengaru 06-28-2003 09:09 PM

1oz per gallon i don't think is that terribly bad, it's just running rich, tune it.



rich + premix = smokey.

Yes I have to do some tuning, looks mean https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png You should have seen the look on peope's faces when they drove by as i was coming out of the alley, ******* priceless https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

******* a, this **** just don't stop. I think my engine is bad.... Now that my idle is lower(1400rpms), it won't smoke. But then I punch it and smoke blows out like crazy, and the coolant buzzer comes on. There doesn't seem to be an oil being used, I checked the dipstick after letting it idle for 20minutes and it was the same. And the oil pressure is down to near 50, **** is strange... And then i goto try and ******* datalog, and it only does it for 26secs....? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif Eitherway I am pretty sure this **** is toast, now I am fucked and I'm starting to get pist. Good thing I have a job interview tommorrow. If i do tear into it, its getting a crazy port job, I am considering bridge.
