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 ;)

Edited by Ben C34

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.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
