32 Is Dead Again

[Daniel R32]

The original plan was to drive this around with just bolting on a turbo for as little as i could spend which nearly happened for under 2k, till i couldnt find a turbo ecu (no one wanted to seperate it from the half cut)

The idea was to drive that around and get used to a turbo car while i built a 26/30 combo with the best parts in it, which was going to take a while but my motor gave way before i could even start (oh i got the 30 bottom end that was it) so i fixed this motor and thought cool i can start building my 'big' motor now, then a few days later (yesterday) it gave way again, and i dont wanna get another motor or really fix this one again and then put the 'big' motor in

Its a hard choice on what to do but i might have a better idea once the guys that built the bottom end have a look at it, which will hopefully be this week. . . .

probably would have been a better idea to just stick in the big motor and drive around on low boost... an rb26, stock isnt that powerful

Yeah it is but i wanted to do the 26/30 but my motor gave way before i could start building it. I was gonna build the 26/30 over bout a 1 to 1 1/2 years but since my motor blew i had to fix it as i had nothing else to put in

If that makes sense?

Ok a video has been added to the first post

who tuned the car?

Ok found what it might be.

The 2 breather hoses on the rocker covers were conected to the intake pipe just before the throttle body which when it built up boost was putting it straight into the rocker covers.

We had the guy that built the bottom end come round and have a look and as soon as he said that we could see the problem.

I feel like an idiot now for missing something so simple but it was good to have a 'fresh' set of eyes to check it out, i was looking too hard for something more complicated.

It still smokes but nowhere near as bad as before, ill give it a few runs this week to see if it improves

Cheers for the help and sugestions guys

from my understanding when running it in it will smoke a bit as the rings get bedded in

i hope for your sake that its all fixed now.....

I have a 25det package if ya want

I have a 25det package if ya want

Mmmmm dunno . . . ill see how i got for now

[Daniel R32]

Ok swapping the rocker cover hoses seems to have fixed the problem. The only smoke i get now is a little bit when i change down gears as im coming to corners.....

Daniel, That's good news

good to hear , you have it sorted.

when running it in, one good way is to not run any boost at all for first 500 kays or so( many different theories but thats how we do it)

Its been very hard not letting boost come on. . . it starts coming on at about 2500rpm
