i called again today and the wervice manager told me that i shud drive it for a few days and the oil residue will go away. However, I told him that I am bringing it back in tomorrow as i dont want to keep it and get the blame in the end.

I am gonna tell them about doing a compression test and if it fails then fix it props or just give me a refund.

do you guyz think they would fix it if there is a problem with the internal stuff? like the rings etc? is it cheaper than getting a new engine?

I am a newbie at engines but i have noticed that the car misses a beat at traffic lights. why is that? it never did that before they tried to fix it.

cheers guyz...

take it back to them, tell them you don't want the car in your hands until the smoke problem is gone (If the smoke will go away in 2/3days, let them take car of it in that 2/3days then hand it to you after), it is not up to dealer standards selling a car in bad shape like yours. I've worked for car dealers before and we've always made sure our cars are in top nick when it leaves the showroom because we don't want our customers coming back and fourth with bad situations.

but on another note, "you wasn't having your foot on the brake and acceleration at the same time causing the smoke right?" :P

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power

      It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
