Blowing Smoke Out Your...

[Rowdy]

G'day guys,

after a bit of enthusiastic boosting thismorning, i pulled up at an intersection only to have a heap of whitish smoke go drifting past me. from my exhaust. so it doesnt seem to be smoking when im driving, just when im idling. when i rev it at idle, it gets worse... oil pressure and temp is normal. it still drives fine, just smokes a lot >.<

the car is a '92 GTST RB20DET and has a nismo front mount, k&n pod, and some shitty hybrid turbo (think monsta- not my choice, previous owners!) and a 3" zorst.

any help on what could have happened would be much appreciated. . . im thinking maybe the oil seal in the turbo? idn.

flippen thing i was just about to splurge on coil packs, new zorst, boost controller and a tune.

thanks guys

either stuffed turbo seals or valve stems

take the turbo of when you have some spare time and investigate, that would be the 1st place i'd look.

hmm... hopefully not the valve stem seals >.<

i'll have to pull the turbo off when i get time then. im working a shutdown at the moment, so i'll post up what i find when i finish.

thanks hombre's.

Sooo, did you get a result?

the mechanic told me that this might happen to me if i didnt get my head recond in the build.

he said it would let out white smoke at the lights when i stopped after a bit of boosting

If you see the turbo is leaking off both seals with no shaft play then you might want to check the oil drain and make sure your breathers are not blocked or into some doggy catch cans.

Other then that turbo probably just need new bearings and seals. we can have a look at if you like.
