hey everyone,

just need a rough idea of what happened to my engine. i was driving home and it suddenly sounded like it was running on 5 cylinders, i just made it home and noticed when i accelerate, shit loads of white smoke come out of the exhaust (so much i couldnt see out the rear window lol). it eventually sounded worse and worse then wouldnt start. when i did a compression test, all cylinders had good compression except number 4. number 6 spark plug had oil all over it and coolant spurts out of the chamber when cranking. theres no coolant in any other chamber except #6. the oil on the dipstick isnt milky and very clean. any ideas of what happened and how much to fix will be greatly appreciated!! thanks heaps!

White smoke, water, oil. Head gasket is first guess, maybe cracked head, possibly cracked block but being an RB20 I doubt it.

Really need to look at it otherwise it is all just guess work.

Pull the head off as it has to come off regardless. Then you will know!!!

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
