hey guys i have r33 gtr the rb26 head has been serviced with

Hks cams

Hks cam gears

Valve stem seals and all replaced.

R34 gtr ball bearing turbos still ceramic housing

The car made 270kws at peak 21 but actuators brought the boost down to 16psi

Now since yesterday the motor haa been blowing alot of blue smoke under boost load and on idle if you rev the car.

The car was overfilled also bout 1.5ltrs of oil but i fixed that and now its perfect. How do i check if its my piston rings or my turbo seals blown ? Ever since it blew smoke it doesnt come on boost as hard

Don't know what to expect.

But what is important is that all cylinders are pretty much the same.

It's extremely unlikely that all pistons would die at the same time.

So the actual pressure result doesn't mean much, but the difference between cylinders is crucial.

Oil going into to the turbo inlet is from blowby.

Oil coming out of the turbo unto the intercooler pipes (with none in inlet) means it's the turbo leaking oil ;)

Ok so if it was turbos that means it wouldnt blow into the exhaust if it blows into the intercooler?

So most likely its motor?

If its motor and i run a catch can will it fix the issue partially?

The car doesnt go as hard now the blww smoke has come

I don't know what you mean

If oil is coming out of the turbos it will go into the intercooler pipework then into the engine and get burnt and make blue smoke.

If there's tonnes of blowby all of a sudden a catch can might do something, but doesn't fix the cause of the issue.

Get some speed up without boosting in say 3rd or 4th and then (preferably on a long down hill (if you have such a thing where you are) take your foot of the throttle and after a few seconds floor it. A big puff of smoke will suggest oil being sucked past the rings. But compression test to confirm. If you have poor compressions no catch can will restore lost power - start saving for engine out!

The engine was sitting for 4-6months without use on a crate.

The engine was never blowing smoke and all of a sudden it just started blowng smoke doesnt piston rings occur slow?

Boosting ceramic turbos to 18psi

I will check for compression if all good then would it be the turbos?

Yeh my dipstick popped out the other day while driving and im thinking because of overfilled oil and im guessing atleast 2ltrs came out and it was atill way pverfilled on the dipstick and it popped again and let oil out and still overfilled

Im going to do oil change tonight and put lucas neil additive to thicken the oil and see if it stops the blowig smoke if it does then we know its rings and if it doesnt at least minimise th smoke then turbos

Just empty it to the correct height and see what happens. That lucas stuff is as thick as gear oil, it's for extreme circumstances. Not testing.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
    • 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.
