Hi Guys..

Just curious.. i'm gettin this wierd noise during startup when it's cold.. it sounds like the turbo is hitting some sorta leaf.. and making that wierd sound.. as it gets warmed up the sounds lessens n lessens but it's still there. Very noticable on cold start. Also sounds like an exhaust is coming out form the front. Just wondering if it's a turbo problem or a leak somewhere in there??

What do u guys reckon?

Thanks

Ces

Haven't checked my gasket.. an Update though.. i rerranged my catch can setup.. n white smoke started coming out of the exhaust.. i let it run 4 a while n i'm hearing gurgling or boiling sound inside the intake pipe off the turbo.

I switched back the way the old Oil catch can was setup before and the white smoke is lessened but i'm still hearing gurgling & boiling sound...

Stock 13 to 13.5 Psi...

U really think it'sthe Turbo??? i thought it might just a turbo gasket leak.. i don't think it has done any damage to the engine.. cuz i haven't driven the car.. all i did was rerranged the setup and it's been park there the whole time..

what about the exhaust leak.. manifold gasket?? or Turbo seal.. it's white smoke not black smoke.

I get the cold whistling problem in my car. Mine is caused by someone snapping a exhaust manifold stud off causing a leak through the gasket, when the engine is hot the metal expands closing the gap... I don't have time or money to take off the manifold and drill out the stud.

No a Kettle/boiling sounds is coming from the Pod like someting is cooking haha.. dunno if it's water or Oil??

take your noodles out of there! lol nah idk whats going on mate sorry i got u worried with the turbo but good luck with trying to find whats going wrong

Ok Kettling/Boiling sound is gone.. there is a leak between turbo n dump pipe. I can still see white smoke. On startup it's not evident but as it gets warmed it blows white smoke.. i think it might b the Valve seals??? What u reckon?

Ok update.. on Cold Start up. .no White smoke.. then after it's warmed up.. i took it 4 a cruise n upon hitting boost a lot of white smoke is coming out.. smells like oil.

I looked @ the Dipstick it's half way to what it's level it's suppose to be.. is my turbo really gone???

sounds like the turbo seal is gone and the white smoke and oil smell is most likely oil in your exuast due to that turbo seal. same thing happend to my brothers supra

My car blows a little white/whit blue smoke so i no my turbo is starting to head out the door.

But it doesnt make any weird noises....only makes a nice loud sucking noise when accelarating hard....sucks harder than a $2 hooker haha

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
