Hi all trying to rule out all other possibilities on why my gtr is blowing bluey grey smoke. At the moment all signs are pointing to the 18 month old hi flowed turbo's. How ever before forking out the $2400 for my 2860-5's i want to check that it could be a simple thing as the pvc valve or blow by valve as some people call it. Where is it located on the rb26 is in on the inlet side of the head connected to the tappet covers and it should be able to be blown through one way only if i am correct ?. I can rule out valve stems seals to a certain extant to the amount of oil in the turbo compressor housing and as valve steams would leak directly into the combustion camber. I will be doing a compression test tomorrow night to make sure it is not excessive blow by as well due to worn piston rings from the previous owner being a moron and driving the car for so long on a run in tune. Any other ideas or checks that people can think to do would be appreciated.

cheers scottie

LOL Yeah not good lol, compression was down across the board and ended up being a complete rebuild :) had really bad scoring on 1 and 6 bores coursing massive blow by but it was funny no oil came through the catch can :( . How ever $13 000 later it is being put back together this week by paul at red r racing. I ended up going pretty much all out new turbos, cams, cam gears, extended sump, hks oil pump and new injectors, ross harmonic balancer, new bearnings rings ect. Also got a new clutch because the old one was almost on rivets. So if it dont go hard and put a smile on my face i am gonna burn it lol

lol i just found out after pulling the dumps off my old turbo one is completely rooted ey i have never seen a turbo with some much end float and it just started touching on the housing as well luckly i have done everything, I probley could have been fine with a turbo change and it could have lasted awhile longer but what done is done.

$13 000 i think is a pretty bloody good price since crd wanted $9000 for the engine alone if my block was good which it wasnt lol and it didnt come with a extended sump, upgraded valve springs, injectors, turbos, clutch and everything so i am pretty lucky and i had another mob wanted $10 000 for a stock rebuild.

I went for a single plate jim berry clutch the pressure plate has 3500lbs of clamping pressure and the clutch plate has some big ass dampener springs in.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
