Is It The Turbo Seals?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, looking for a little help!

Noticed that my rb25 has started using a lot of oil! I'm getting a big puff of blacky grey smoke out the exhaust when accelerate (seems to be when i accelerate quickly from statonary or rev it in neutral to 4000rpm ish) Also noticed that my bov is spitting out a little oil too? Is this likely to be the turbo seals? If so am i aswel getting a new or refurbd turbo? Also as im a bit tight on cash at the moment is there a turbo anyone can recommend that i can get for around 1000 dollars?

Any help would be fantastic. Cheers

James

You need to check your intercooler pipes and see if there is any oil in them, it there is and your nearly pouring it out then its a turbo. If its only a thin film then its nothing to worry about and is more like your motor. Also get a compression test done and see if its the motor.

You can get a s/h std RB25 turbo for sub $500 on the for sale section of this site. I've seen them for half this at times.
