Guys,

I just started the car the other day and let it warm for about a min then drove out of the drive way and then gunned it (about 4000 revs) and then shifted into second then a Massive bang almost like a back fire and then the car was not accelrating. I have had this problem b4 when the Intercooler piping from the passenger side b4 it mounts the Intercooler blows of due to poor clamping of the piping. There was alot of black smoke blowing out of the exhaust from what bystanders had told me and i feared that maybe a turbo had blown but I managed to put the piping on just enough to crawl home with it idling and smoke coming from exhaust.

I took of the front bar and re connected the piping up to the intercooler again and then started it again. At this stage the car was idiling very up and down almost like the intercooler was blown of again. There is no more smoke blowing out of the exhaust but it is very loud and vibrating now, compared to when it was smooth idling.

UPDATE 2 MAR 08

Right Changed Spark plugs and now is idling better then b4 this happened but now when i rev the car there is water or something spraying out the exhaust with black smoke. Also checked the blow of valves and there was white milky liquid in the lines and in the BOV itself.

SHOULD I STILL DRIVE IT OR START IT UP AS IT MAY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS???

Has the turbo Blown??

Any help would be very very helpful!!!!

I Hope the milky liquid your talking about doesnt look like chocolate milk, this is when oil and water mix which shouldn't happen.. does it seem it has never idled properly after the "bang" even after fitting new plugs?

Well after the intercooler piping blew of yesterday and refitted it, it idled real bad and stuttery so today put the new plugs in and it idles pretty sweet, but when i give it a stab when its in neutral, smoke comes out the exhaust with some kind of liquid all over the ground. It doesnt seem to be white smoke but i could be wrong. There is no smoke when it idles though.

The oil filler cap seems to be fine. I took the rocker covers of there today for a look and it looked fine! ( a Small Nick in one of the Cam Shaft lifters though!). The Car has done 114 000 Klms and is stock as the come except for the pods! It has rapidily declined in Aceleration to when i first went for a test drive though! Feels like the turbos aren't even doing there jobs anymore! But i always here them blowing of air when i let the foot of the accelrator so who knows what the go is!!

But this watery stuff out of the exhaust and white milky watery substance in the BOV's is worrying me!!!

Hard to tell here if its a head gasket or Turbos gone....Engine oil look normal ? I am guessing Turbos...How does the temp guage run....Same as before ?..one of your turbos might be totally stuffed I am thinking

Yeah the engine oil seems to be fine at this stage! Yeah temp gauge still runs the same but am afraid to take it for a drive to do further damage to find out!

Sounds like a headgasket to me. Maybe a coolant line in the turbo(s), but I don't see how it would mix THEN make it through the motor. How does the oil on the dipstick look? Any oily film in the coolant (actually in the radiator, not the overflow)?

well i havent really checked the coolant but i did open it a little and still looked that green colour! With the coolant lines to the turbo, can they actually escape through the exhaust turbine?? i thought they ran through the turbo like it does an engine block????

It was just Pooled in the Bottom of the BOV's and it was just spurting out the exhaust! Seems to be no Spills on the ground thus far. Its been sitting 24hrs.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
