My mate Ben needs advice ,his GTR is in near original condition 52,000kms

It blows heaps of smoke on boost for the first two times after warm up then completely stops smoking , it blows smoke again after cruising around slowly for a while.

i was thinking it may be unburnt fuel built up in the exhaust ? He has had new turbos installed , HKS exhaust and recent tune to get rid of the ceramics , any ideas why the smokey shit .

Black smoke is fuel and to be runing a bit rich is a good safety factor to have.

Like you have suggested after idling or crusing there can be a build up in the exhaust that is then cleared when it comes on boost.

It should be consistent, ie always black when you're on boost at normal temperature, or never. Is the power always the same? If its intermittent there may be a intermittently faulty sensor - might be worth plugging consult in for diagnostic check. Do you know what AFR the tuner targeted? Got a dyno graph with AFR?

My mate reckons its always had the same power since he got the new turbs 6 months ago ,

i agree with him on this , but we think the smoke issue is getting worse ,

i have been with Ben when he has boosted after cruising, at night you cant see shit in the rear vision mirror afterwards . We may need a new diagnostic check , sounds like a good idea :blink:

o2 sensors faulty? fuel build up during warm up or cruise

but of WOT warms everything up and it burns off cleaner

that or the coolant temp sensor

or o2 feedback disabled if its running a power fc

black smoke = blown oil seals in the turbo's

What? Wouldn't a blown seal cause oil to seep into the intake causing blue burning smoke?

Every single car I have ever seen or been in blows smoke when boost comes on and the car is booted. What, does everyone have a faulty turbo? My mate has a evo9, it does it. My mate has a wrx, it does it. Ive seen a fair few R33's do it and moreso on R34's.

What happens when you come on boost? YOU BURN PETROL. What happens when you burn petrol, you get black smoke.

Check the tune. Put it on rollers and check the AFR when boost comes. Does he have excess smoke residue on the rear bumper?

Yeah actually there is a fair bit of residue around the rear bumper , we definately know its not the turbo seals = new turbs !

Blown turbo seals, = White Smoke, or bluey/grey smoke.

If its puffing a Black Mist of smoke as it rolls onto boost, its just fuel mate, dont even worrie about it. If its any colour than black than start looking for probs

Yeh mine does that as i come off a gear in boost {{{Puffff}}},, they say its the nature of the beast!!... BUT i think mines running alittle too rich 330km a tank doesnt seem rightt, thats around 4 launches and around 7 boots as in 7 times i have pput the foot down but for like 10-15 secs at a time!! i used to do around 400-430km full tank. but thats only giving it a couple times maybe a couple boots. But 100km just for a few extra foot downs???? is that right? Evry time i take it to this tuner and he plays around or adjust soemthing and something elsee annoys me like now on warm crank theres not enough fuel as sometimes when i start it hesitates for 5 secs to get to a stable 1000rpm idle

      Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo.

      Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.

      Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.

      Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
