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)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
