hey everyone,

the car is blowing white smoke on heavy decel and if im just crusing around with out coming on too boost

and change gears it gets a very small puff of white smoke, i had a comp test on the w/e before we dynoed it

with interesting results

1. 165

2. 175

3. 180

4. 175

5. 175

6. 180

when we removed the plugs there was no sign of oil(or burning oil) on any plugs they were very clean and even burning

my tuner seems to think it s turbos??

is it possible to be valve stem seals??

it doesnt blow any smoke on start up or if its been sitting

i tried searching for the results but nothing that helped me out

Possibly stem seals...... After a decent drive try pulling over and leaving car to idle for a couple minutes. Then while watching in the rear view give it a swift rev up to say 3000 rpm and off. Will it give a puff of white smoke on revs declining ?

How old or new are your turbos?

its going to be the rear seal on one of the turbos. oil is passing the seal when there is no back pressure in the rear oulsing. oil pressure is overcoming the pressure in the housing and then a bit of oil passes the seal and smokes in the hot turbine housing.

I had this happen with the last turbo I bought. I rebuilt it myself and no more smoke

cheers!

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
