Hey all,

Soooooo, I have an r32 GTR

rb26dett

Garret 2860rs

OS Giken Cam gears

(Now has stainless manifolds, was stock)

Dumps pipes and full exhaust system

HKS pods

PowerFC

Hks AVC-r

It has been off the road for about 2 months, ripped the turbos off, got new manifolds and patched up a couple of holes in the dump pipez. stuck it all back together.

(can read about it a bit more there)

Anyhow car is back together now and I easily notice the increase in power and torque.

I have only booted it maybe 2 or 3 times but anytime I do a "Shit Load" of smoke comes spewing out the exhaust, U cant see 10 meters behind you because of the smoke. (Have only done it to that degree once was on 14psi usually just cruise around on 8psi). Before hand there was no smoke at all it was fine just a bit sluggish.

Any thoughts. I checked the oil and it is on low atm (was full 2 weeks ago when car was put back together) I will fill it and watch it closely there is no oil in coolant and so forth. not sure what has happened. The oil pressure gauge dropped down to just above 0 last night as well, (usually in on 4ish at idle, maybe a little below) I thought this might have to do with the amount of oil that was in the car but. Just after some thoughts.

yeah sounds like its burning oil

that would account for the decrease in oil and the smoke

depending on the colour it may not be too bad. The motor may be 'breathing' a little more running more boost on an old engine, therefore you have a bit of oil going through the intake and getting burnt which could create a whitish cloud of smoke

or, the rings may be shot which gives the smoke a bluish tinge.

Have a look at your intake piping to see if theyre coated in oil. If so, a catch can would be a good investment.

If not, get a compression test done firstly, without oil in the cylinder bore and secondly, with a little oil squirted into the cylinder. If compression increases with the oil, then you know that the rings arent the best

But first, tell us what colour smoke you see

It looks whitish to me not black, dosent look blue, I will have a better look when I go out this afternoon, I did an oil change when I was pulling car apart put some valvoline 5w- 40w stuff in it, supposed to be good for turbo's and so forth could that oil be to thin? if that makes sense?

if you took the old turbos off because one was dead, you may have a bore or two with ceramic dust damage.

If not you still might have a very worn pot or two. How many kms has the motor done? Do a compression test is step one anyway.

My bet is low compression/bad ring seal.

You can drive that motor around for a while with your fingers crossed, it will let go one day in the next year.

Sorry to be negative :ermm:

Little update

Lots of oil in the turbo and intercooler pipes, will get a catch tank asap, engine would be about 80 - 90k old, old turbo's were on last engine, this engine is supposed to of had a good set ripped of when the guys car was written off.

The pressure went back up again today just took if for a little drive then, about 2500rpm was up to about 6kg, on idle was about 2-2.5ish (that is were it was normally sorry wasn't 4). If there is plenty of oil pressure is it still possible the rings are shitted???

I will watch the oil level in the next couple of days and see what its doing and also get that tank and let you know whats happening. One again thanks heaps for all your help and comments guys.

UPDATE!!

I hooked up a catch can all smoke is gone, I however there is no oil going into the can at all.

The hose that was going from one rocker cover to the other wasnt standard hose and I think it was kinked, would this cause the oil to be forced through the engine or something along those lines???

Any how its sorted and is running well,

Thanks again for everyones help

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • 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.
