so last night took my car for a cruise & my rb25det started blowing a shit load of smoke out the exhaust

so i pulled up popped the bonnet & there was oil sprayed up on the bonnet & over the engine but i couldn't find where it was coming from :banana:

could the shit load of smoke be the turbo seal shit it self or something? its pretty much only after the turbo starts boosting up then i let my foot of the gas....

any info will help before i start stripping her down....

cheers guy luke

As has been said dont be pulling the head til you have checked the turbo....

Maybe an oil feed to it...

and again what colour was the smoke was it cloudy or was it blue or blue?

No-one has filled ur engine to high with oil have they??? :) cheeky buggers

Before stripping everything down, check compression on the engine to eliminate piston problems. Easy to do and no gaskets needed.

We all know how comman piston dramas are.....

Possibly h/g have you checked oil in your water or water in your oil ie in the filler neck...

yeah mate there is nothing at all like that... if the head gasget was gone is it true most of the time oils in the water & water in the oil???

Possibly h/g have you checked oil in your water or water in your oil ie in the filler neck...

Not always as it sometimes doesnt mix at all...get the water checked for gas (i forgot ther name of the machine they use) but basically they check for exhaust gasses/carbon coming thru your water via header tank/filler neck that will be a dead cert to see if head has gone...

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
