My Car Is Blowing Smoke Help!


Recommended Posts

my car is a 1996 nissan r33 skyline series2 and this is my problem and need help

okay well hears whats happening i brought my car about 3/4 months ago i think and about 2/3 months ago i noticed it was blowing smoke some times like in boost or turning right and some times just every day driving but its not constant. at first i thought it was worn rings so i put it off and the compression test showed 165/170 across the board so i know its not that and then i started to think it may have been the turbo so i replaced it and still blowing smoke!! i think its way to much smoke to be blow by and its funny its just happening some times(that i can see) so i don't know what else it could be

???maybe worn valve seals?????

i just want the hunt to be over and not have to worry about checking the oil and when hitting boost or just daily driving killing the people behind me so any ideas or thoughts if any one has had this problem be for and that could tell me what to do would be great thanks

also another thing is my car is missing around 4500-5500 i think because of the coil packs i have changed the spark plugs and my fuel pump seem to be on 20/7 so i think theres heaps of fuel presser so the only think it could be is the coil packs shitting them selfs? there stock coilpack

im running 9.5 - 10psi and i have tried turning it down and its still there

you have to fix the miss anyways =/ unless its related to a tune issue ??

check your coilpacks properly .. u can ussually tell the difference between a spark miss and a tune miss

check for corrosion , smell , or split leads ??

check your plugs aswell .. ussually a good indication if a cylinder is down

no point attacking the head when it could be something small like AFM coilpack or timing .. PCV vavle ? lol

Hey guys I am Wilderboys house mate.

Currently the car has not been tuned its still running the stock 33 ECU.

If it is missing then its not going to be a tune miss.

I might swap my coil packs with him so he can test them.

Also we dont have the equipment for a leakdown test so will get that organised

    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
    • Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.
    • Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.
    • wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
