so last night took my car for a cruise & my rb25det started blowing a shit load of smoke out the exhaust

so i pulled up popped the bonnet & there was oil sprayed up on the bonnet & over the engine but i couldn't find where it was coming from :banana:

could the shit load of smoke be the turbo seal shit it self or something? its pretty much only after the turbo starts boosting up then i let my foot of the gas....

any info will help before i start stripping her down....

cheers guy luke

As has been said dont be pulling the head til you have checked the turbo....

Maybe an oil feed to it...

and again what colour was the smoke was it cloudy or was it blue or blue?

No-one has filled ur engine to high with oil have they??? :) cheeky buggers

Before stripping everything down, check compression on the engine to eliminate piston problems. Easy to do and no gaskets needed.

We all know how comman piston dramas are.....

Possibly h/g have you checked oil in your water or water in your oil ie in the filler neck...

Not always as it sometimes doesnt mix at all...get the water checked for gas (i forgot ther name of the machine they use) but basically they check for exhaust gasses/carbon coming thru your water via header tank/filler neck that will be a dead cert to see if head has gone...

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
