******* 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.

check the overflow tank to see if it's getting a constant stream of bubbles (exhaust).



maybe you just didnt burp the coolant system, there are alot of variables at play since you did so much work, don't jump to conclusions https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

Yea I was thinking that its just the coolant system burping the air in it, I am taking off my turbo and going over to GregW's house from teamfc3s to have him check it out...

I think the smoking(oil) may have something do to with my oil pressure, cuz now at my 1440 idle, the oil pressure is at 50ish. And now it doesn't smoke at idle. Before my idle was @ 2000 at it smoked like crazy and my oil pressure was at 130.... And now when i punch it it smokes, the oil pressure is probably going way up...

cool, you can also do a coolant system pressure test if you suspect O ring failure.



in the pic you showed with the oil all over it definitely looks like the turbo is leaking....

if you don't have one already, checkout http://northerntool.com and buy a glycerin filled pressure gauge for the oil pressure, they have certified high precision gauges for pretty cheap (like $30 or less)...

Yea they are cheap, $13-$19. So what size thread is the stock sender?

Gauges

now that I don't remember, I want to say 1/8th NPT but not positive, I'll check it if I have a chance.
