R32 Gtr Blowing Blue Smoke On Idle.

[yellowsubmarine]

I have recently bought a R32GTR & when left idling for a short period of time it blows blue smoke. Although under load it doesnt seem to blow any smoke. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be????

Any help would be great thanks

Could be a range of things, blue smoke usually represents oil, if i was to guess sounds like a turbo's on it's way out. My dad said somthing abotu the valve guides or somthing aswell, turbo would be a common problem, how many K's it done??? And is it boosting at factory pressier or has it been wound up.

Blue smoke is FOR SURE oil!

The best thing to do is trouble shoot and you can start by doing a compression/leak down test across all 6 cylinders. If when you remove the plugs there's oil on them.....problem.

Check that all your gaskets are tight and dry.

Check for shaft play on your turbo.

Now if it's only happening at idle then there's a good chance it's your motor not your turbo. I had the oppisite problem on my ka-t set up in my 240. It idled fine but under load in boost...blue/white smoke. That turned out to be blown oil seals in the turbo. I would have someone follow behind you and see if there's smoke while your boosting. Don't go nuts but you need to know.

These are the easiest methods of trouble shooting and should narrow down exactly what it is.

Good luck man and I hope it's nothing serious.

I think your car may have aids???

how Much smoke?

Dark blue, light blue?

Could be from a number of places where oil can be pulled from eg. turbos, valve seals, oil rings.

I would start my checking the inlet of the turbos to see if there is oil coming from the inlet side of the turbos.

Basically, get ready to open your wallet.

where are you located?

ive noticed a few of your posts are in regard to problems youve got with the new car.

did you get it checked over before you bought it?

this GTR you bought seems more like a lemon than a yellow submarine

I changed plugs on a family member's Toyota a few weeks ago and one of the plugs came out covered in engine oil. Is this blown rings? I'm keen to learn more, I meant to post but forgot all about it!
