R33 Rb25det Gasket Rebuild

[nszs]

Hey guys, after getting my head gasket fixed and compress level back to normal... im still having white smoke coming out from the exhaust.. my mechanic told me it was the turbo that oil somehow got into the intercooler and that i have to get an new turbo because it had shaft play on it?

can you guys give me some opinion of what to do!! really appreciate it!!

thanks

Tear your turbo off and have it checked?

I always thought white smoke was water, blue is oil, and black is fuel. So it could be the seal in the turbo, but you won't know till you get it checked out.

thanks for the reply, umm i check the turbo and the shaft is moving up and down just a bit, so does it mean it bad... so sorry about this im quite new to skyline.

If your shaft is moving, then it could be a prob, but you will get movement, both up and down as well as forward and backwards. But the movement is small, a mm or so sideways and less forwards and backwards. This also depends on the type of turbo you have [bearing or journal].

Do a search, I think the movement thing has been done before.

make sure ALL of your intercooler, turbo / intercooler piping has been cleaned out of any traces of oil. if there is any oil left in your system then your car will still smoke. you could also have oil in your exhaust system as well, but start with the intercooler and piping first.
