Ok where do I start...

So I have an r32 with a rb25 in it, end of last year i changed the engine to a new built forged rb25 with a new high mounted garrett gt3076. had all the bolt on mods pretty much everything done apart from cams.

So I did about 5000km on that until i wanted more power so I got a new Garrett T04Z and bolted that on and took it to the tuners via tow truck, they re-did the exhaust to a V-band and gave it a tune untill they found out my bosch 040 was maxing out at 5000rpm. So i went to the tuners and back a few times about a 10min drive, driving very slow and still had to take it back home to do more stuff to it because they were an absolute rip.

The car was running perfect but I didnt boost it to be safe. So I went all out and got a surge tank sorted with dual bosche 044's and a dual feed fuel rail and a new Jim berry full monty clutch. The first time i started the car with the new twin fed rail the car started smoking like hell real white smoke and it also sounded like its running on 5 cylinders. so i was thinking it was just overfueling or a plug came loose on one of the injectors or coilpacks.

Thats when i noticed that it was leaking oil from the bottom of the V-Band (so obviously it had an exhaust leak too) so I was very confused because this turbo is new. So I pulled the V-band off and there was oil in the exhaust. pulled intercooler and intake piping off and there was nothing. So i did a bit of searching and started with the easy stuff.

So Changed the Oil return and made sure it was flowing properly and clear. was running a -4 oil feed using a restrictor so changed that to a -3 and still leaking but i didnt think it would have been this because it would have leaked before. Checked the catch can set up just incase it was blocked and causing crankcase pressure and its clear and working perfectly but didnt think it would have been this either because I had this set up on my old engine and my new one.

Soooooooooo i got no idea now and just missed out on getting it tuned by Anthony Rodriguez so need some advice on what to do next.

Going to try a pressure test this weekend.

So the weird thing is it only started after I changed the fuel rail and added a few more fuel pumps and clutch.... SO pretty lost.

Any help would be great and no haters thanks

Is it definately oil?

Is it still missfiring? Reason i ask is a stuck injector can cause excessive white smoke.

Take the turbo off and check the manifold for any signs of oil etc (possible cylinder failed etc)

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
