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 can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
