Yesterday I was about 100kms out of sydney and couldn't wait to get home coz I was as sick as dog from a stomach bug. it was pouring down rain and freezing when the R32 (gtst) which had been running without a hic up just started to cough and splutter and I came to a stop by the side of the road. here are the symptoms Idles very rough if at all, revs no more than 4.000 RPM loads of black smoke. one small thing i did notice is that although i could hear the turbo spooling I couldn't get it to boost, (stuffed turbo maybe) checked all hoses and pluges and everything is fine.

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks heaps James.

it could be bad fuel sparki, coil, leads, or blocked fuel line, filter or injector since it happed in the rain, water could of got into ur engine bay causing a short some where. happed to me one rainy night after work drove home and my car had the exact same prob except it had a missfire, next day it started up fine.

Thanks for all your help guys and yes it was the pipeing. just on the inlet side of the intercooler the clamp had split and the silcon had a nice tear

down the middle (cheep kit you get what u pay for).

So thanks again guys :) James

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
