hey,i have a 32 gtst with an rb25, every time i slow down from boost i get white smoke that puffs out from the exhaust (fair bit)

none on idle or anything only slowing down. from what i know its probly a blown oil seal on the turbo... correct? if so whats a rough price for new seals with labour?

engine specs: standard rb25 turbo running 10 psi, 3 inch no cat, microtec, ebc, 040 fuely etc

also i have a brand new garrett t04 sitting around, would it be better to fit this? i have boch 040 fuel pump but standurd injectors, once again would like a rough price from ur experiance.

sorry to ramble on...

cheers dylan

Don't discount valve stem seals. You need to perform tests to determine which is the cause of your problem.

Remove the turbo and manifold and do a vacuum test on the exhaust ports to determine the condition of the valve stem seals. If they come up ok, then you need to examine the turbo.

I'm not about to go into depth into how you should do this as you won't even have the tools or equipment to test the valve stem seals anyway.

Good luck

sorry mate, it's a harsh reality. Valve stem seals are more likely to leak at negative cylinder pressure as the vacuum effect draws oil through the stem seals. They can weap at idle also but it slowly gets burnt away and not so noticable. On decel, the cylinder draws oil past the stem seal and because you have no real combustion until you resume accel, it will become quite noticeable at this point.

Could still be your turbo but would hate to see you replace it and have the same problem without checking it properly first.

3lit3 is correct, but decel will vacuum suck oil in from a few places, even up past the oil control rings in the bore [although rings usually also smoke after an idle period then accel].

I think you need to determine if the white smoke is oil or water/coolant as well, this could help you determine where to look.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
