[ragex]

hi, i have just spent alot of money on bolt ons for my my new car, i bought a rb25det with box and put it in a vl, added a heap of bolt ons got a auto elect to wire it up, after a couple of days starting it up and such was running a lil bit rough, now today, the car sounds like is miss firing, and its blowing some white smoke, the motor had been sitting in a garage for a year before being started again, please help what could be the problem and how can i fix it?

[cheez]

i believe white smoke is a turbo issues? could the turbo be gone? shot a seal or something? im not 100% sure. surely some1 will offer you some better advice than mine.

[ragex]

its practicaly a brand new turbo.

[ragex]

if its a seal, can i just put oil inthere to fix it?, if its rings can i just put oil in there too? or is it just f**ked

[Adriano]

Has the consult plug been wired up, if so i would do a diagnostic check first, then a comp test, check coils for cracks and set plug gaps to .8mm

[Adriano]

Is there oil in the water, or water in the oil? Is it going through water, could be headgasket.

[ragex]

can coils make it blow smoke?

no, so you have maybe 1 or two problems.

start with the basics and work your way from there

it ended up being the valve stems, the compression was up somewhere near 170 psi on all pistons, THANK GOD FOR THAT, i rang up a couple of places to get the steams fixed they quoted me roughly 1500, then i rang up Speedtech Racing and they have a tool where they dont need to take off the head, he said he fills the piston up with compressed air and he uses a tool to extract the steam. obviously the valves wont get reseated... but at this point im willing to ignore that. so im hoping when he rings me back it will be quite cheap

hmm, aparently still i have to take the head off to change the seals
