Hey guys im new here :no:

just a quick question. my r33 gtst is blowing a lot of white smoke. it would literately fill my whole street full of smoke.

I have taken it to ultratune and they have done a compression and leak test and it came back ok. they are learning more towards a turbo issue. but they are still unsure.

is this a common thing for skylines?

if it is indeed a turbo issue they are going to upgrade to a high flow garret turbo, which leads me to my next question. how much power is this thing going to output once its installed?

specs of car

Front mount intercooler

pod air fillter

full hks exhaust

boost controller

and the garret high flow turbo.

thanks guys.

lol

seems like youve done ur bpu , so OBVIOUSLY depending on how many pounds you are running , id say anywhere from 200 - 230rwkw. youd also need to get a tune though to get this kind of power safely

Yes white smoke is usually a turbo issue if its a large amount of white smoke and the compression test came out ok.

Hey guys...remember me? :P

wasnt the turbo...it was infact...a god damn cracked piston. 7grand later.....sigh

on the plus side. since I had the engine out...I went all out.

port and polish

overbored

ngk spark plugs

high end metal gasket

high flow garret turbocharger

new ecu

wiseco forged pistons

running 18psi boost

my mechanic thinks it will pump over 350kw at the wheels. getting it dyno tuned tomorrow with vid :)

will update tomorrow tomorrow.

so any more info on the turbo? might be a good idea to do some research on here before you spend that much coin.

every turbo will have a different result and will make the car perform very differently

Hey buddy

Its my standard turbo high flowed with garret internals. cost me $1500

still need it tuned on the dyno. not sure if I need a new ecu? cant really afford anything after spending 8grand :(

I just hope my mechanic wasnt taking me for a ride. just seems so exsessive...I mean, 8 grand? :(

drove the car all weekend to run in the new pistons. didn't boost hard, but I can already feel the car is alot more punchier and responsive.

will update soon. any advice is appreciated guys :)

My mechanic said he is going to try his best to tune it with the stock ecu. he said the car is still going to be pretty quick as it is. he is a professional drag racer so Id like to think I can trust him. he seems like an awesome guy though.

will save up for ecu later down the track

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
