hey all

i got a big fkn problem. I was driving last night and i though id give it a little i was in 4th and got to max boost and before i cud change to 5th i looked behind me and the whole main road (kings rd sydenham) was covered in white smoke. I shat my pants. My car sounds wierd the idle was dropping out but not that much for the speedo to pick up. Now the car wont even start someone said its the spark plugs. If anyone has anyinfo of what it might be cos im also suspicious as to why there is oil sometimes spitting out of my blitz bov and some sitting in the throttle body where the stock bov is? someone from racv said the oil may have gone into the engine caught alight and smoked out the exhaust?

any info would be great cheers

ahk hopefully compression is fine, because the car boost's fine, not one thing wrong with it when it drives. It was just that one time.

But thanks heaps for all the info everyone, if you have anything else by all means let me know.

Really appreciated.

nah no noises, my mate asked me last night because he thought it could have been a blown turbo or just damage to the housing. But turbo sounds perfectly fine, no wierd noises and still boosts fine

max boost in 4th, and you're going for 5th. On a public street. :wave:

You sir, are an absolute Fu(kwit, the kind we don't need here.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
