Hey Everyone

I have an issue that no one seems to be able to help me out with, my R33 S1 GTST started blowing white smoke with the smell of burnt oil on idle every now and then, never under boost. I then bought a second hand stocko turbo supposedly done 150K and now it is worse than before, still no smoke while driving or under boost, but if idle at any revs under 1000 after about 20 seconds it will start blowing thick white smoke. If i then start to rev it the smoke pissses out sends a white plume behind me, but then clears after 10seconds after reving it above 1000.

Now up here in Brisbane no one seems to know what is causing this, all I get told is "...Jeez never heard of that one, bring it in and we will pull it all apart and see what we can find."

I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if so what was it?

Is it the turbo and is it because its a second hand one I put in? been told its strange how 2 turbos have done the same thing so it must not be that.

I personally have no clue, I just want to try to avoid paying $1000 just to get it diagnosed.

If anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers Guys :thumbsup:

Gday Mico

No it blows when its cold or hot, it can do it when i start it in the morning or after 3 hrs of driving, not really built motor, mostly stock sorry mate wasnt sure what you meant by built motor, not sure on what oil is in it as i havent done a service on it yet, was waiting to fix this issue before I did an oil change.

Cheers

Inlet manifold gasket? I think there is a water gallery above cylinder 2 in the inlet manifold. I'm taking a stab here, but sounds very similar to a problem my mate had 12 months ago. Has it got a miss fire at all?

Cheers Guys

Jez I will try the flush and oil change with the 20w50 that Mico suggested, if that fails then I will look at the inlet manifold gasket that you have suggested Jock, also to answer your question Jock no miss fire at all besides doing it once after i had not started it for a few weeks, but then the miss fire cleared after a few revs.

I will try all of this then see how I go, will let you all know.

:thumbsup:

Probably isn't the inlet manifold gasket then, Todd's car was misfiring as well because cylinder 2 was copping some water. which means your water level would be going down a little if this was the case as well, now that I think about it....:whistling:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
