Hey all,

I recently bought a 95 r33 GTS-T and got my grandfather (mechanic but knows nothing about turbo's) to change my oil and oil filter. I saw him pour just over 4 litres in and thought 'isn' t that too much?' the oil checker showed full.

Then I installed a second hand bleed valve and just guessed the correct measurement, gave it flat stick and noticed that the needle had moved up to the line inbetween 0 to 7 mmhg. This line equates to roughly 11 psi if i'm not mistaken. Thrilled with the massive power increase I took it up to 4th gear twice. Then I took the bleedvalve off to try and feel the power difference. To my HORROR and shock I noticed a huge cloud of smoke blowing out of my exhaust. Now I'm burning up oil and the smoke is still there. (although the smoke isn't as bad as when it first happened). I thought the problem went away because it was still spooling fine on stock boost and couldn't really see the smoke anymore but that night I went to the runs, and noticed my oil went from full to low. It's burning oil and I assume I've blown a turbo seal maybe? Okay now here's the question:

1) Does anyone know a good mechanic?

2) What do I do?

3) How much do you think it will cost assuming turbo needs replacing?

I'd have a guess and say that you would be up for an engine rebuild :(

you have probably blown a piston ring

Stock fuel pumps arent that good and increasing boost without a tune is a recipe for detonation, especially 4th gear runs..

If the engine sounds okay you might be right, more like the turbo. The turbo can burn lots ot oil very quickly creating lots of smoke :( So this could be the problem, for your sake lets hope so!

If you definatly know its the turb and you do the work yourself you will get away with it for whatever you pick the std turbo up for see in the for sale section. If there isnt one for sale do a search there would have been in the past and it will give you an idea of what there worth.

The job is pretty sraight forward (just 4 lines with banjo fittings and bolts and hose clamps hear and there to attach manifolds etc. from memory) its abit fiddly but you save $$$ and get the satasfaction of doin it yourself and learn abit more about your car.

Dont know how much a mec would charge have to be afew hours at least.

Good luck, hope it doesnt end up being anything to serious.

Theres a good chance its not gonna be anything to serious with the engine if youve still got std ecu correct me if im wrong but if you dialed in tomuch boost you would have hit fuel cut well before the std pump ran out of huff, i mean whats the point in nissan putting that sort of protection on the car if its gonna lean out and destroy the engine before it kicks in. The std ecu is very protective of the engine but i guess anything can happen

Tell your Grandpa to do a compression test. If that checks out, your problem is most likely turbo related. Provided a wheel hasn't contacted a housing, it can be rebuilt & balanced to better than factory specs for very reasonable cost.

Hope that helps ya out, Bro.

(the line inbetween 0 to 7 mmhg. This line equates to roughly 11 psi if i'm not mistaken.)

6 or 7psl would be more accurate. 7mmhg is about 14.5psi. and the only line between 0 and 7 is halfway inbetween. B est advice I can give you is..........

1) STOP making assumptions

2) Forget all the advice you've just read in this thread

3) Search this forum to find a "well thought of workshop"

4) Go to them before you do anything else stupid

thank you every1

I believe my engine is fine because I still have power and no sounds at all.

I can rev the **** out of it up to 7 grand, it performs great.

Oil burns, so I think OTTO is right about the turbo burning up the oil.

HOPEFULLY ! hehe

what i would do is take it to a mechanic and get them to tell you whats wrong with it. pay them the money and then you go out and fix the problems yourself.

There is plenty of stuff in these forums going to sale.

Yes LAL thanks for that advise I think I will do that actually.

Now I'm burning up oil and the smoke is still there. (although the smoke isn't as bad as when it first happened).  

Do you have oil coming out of your BOV? Higher boost means more blow by, which means more oil through the intake. This can cause alot of oil to be burnt.

If you think you can give it a go (get grandad to help) try pulling an intercooler pipe off, and checking for oil inside it. If you can find alot of oil there, that MAY be your problem, esp if everything else is ok except for the smoke.

If there is oil through the pipes, clean them out. Also, remove the intercooler and give it a flush with metho or similar - clean all the sh1t out.

If you ever have to turn up the boost again, fit a decent catch can. Not always necessary, but better safe than sorry. Oil mixing with the intake charge isnt ideal.

OR, as Neil points out, take your car to an appropriate mechanic.

I am running 14 psi on my gtst. Have no problems now. Have a duel stage turbo smart controler. All i had to do was change the spark plugs and put the right gap on them. Also get the timing right. Running standed ecu and intercooler. Don't get fuel cut in any gear apart from 5th and that is only of doing 100 to 125 kms after that fine. For any more details goto http://www.mrdperformance.biz/ they to all the work on my car

      Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
