Well Mines a RB20 and Its blowing smoke Must be Piston Rings as the Turbo is brand New and Tested by Turbo Tech but it only blows it when I let off the gas??

Valve stem seals? Do a leak down test, in 20 minutes that will confirm which it is.

:D cheers :D

my initial thought was as per SK (smoke on lift off), but interestign it has only started doing it since this turbos went on.

does it blow smoke on start up after it has been standing? if so, it is most likely the valve stem seals.

But what you describe sounds more like a turbo related issue. check all your oil fitings as well as breather hoses...

Well when I first started the Car it was blowing blueish smoke but didnt have the smell of oil in it, I left it for a hour and came back and started it up again and the smoke was gone and only happend when I reved the car, So I thought it was the ECU so I took it out for a test run and it got better didnt do it at all, This was on stock boost BTW, So I thought I would test it and wound it up to 1 bar and now it blows it when I rev really hard like Go through two gears, Then when I back off she blows the smoke for 3 secs then clears up then nothing. On small boost doesnt do it at all.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
