blown turbo maybe?

[BU5TER]

Sounds like blow by which points to a broken/cracked ringland which means time for a rebuild

wat sort of $$ do u reakon ill b looking at 2 get it rebuilt.......????? an should i jus wait a while an get forgies chuked in while im at it..???

thanx help appreciated...

Where abouts do you live? best to take it somewhere asap and get a leak down test and it will tell you if it is the ringland, if it is yeah your probably best to chuck forgies in as the price of them these days is really not to bad, I've got a great mechanic/engine buildre but he's at Katoomba

I think u blew ur turbo, should always have a bloff off valve, the stock one is best.

[BU5TER]

How would blowing your turbo cause all the oil in the engine bay though?

[R33_KRAZY]

all the oil in the engine bay has leaked out were the BOV is meant 2 b

[R33_KRAZY]

so wat does this mean i got rong with my motor then...blown turbo or motor is F**KED

[krzysiu]

Dont think its your engine man. The fact that u didnt have a blow off valve kind of tells me that its your turbo. What PSI u running?

[R33_KRAZY]

10....stok turbo..suposedly high flowed but i think i got had..... grrrr

[HKS-R33]

what colour smoke is it bowing (black, white, blue???)

[krzysiu]

isnt it

Black- Turbo blown

White- Engine F**ed

Blue- ???? no clue???

if this is incorrect tell me lol

[HKS-R33]

white or blue - blown turbo

black - car is running rich for some reason

[R31Nismoid]

My guess is motor as most others have said.

Mine did a similar thing. Spat oil right out the pod filter

you dont get oil all over the engine bay (blow-by) if the turbo is dead

[krzysiu]

does your car run boost now when you drive it? Or is the car completely undrivable now?

[R33_KRAZY]

um i was gonna try 2 drive it but soon as i gave it sum gas 2 get going it jus blew like so much smoke out i wasnt funny i figured i was best left off......

an i dont know if turbo is blown or not..im gonn pull it off in the mornin an c.....how can ya tell by lookin at it.......an i think it is my turbo cause the cooler is filled with oil......

[R33_KRAZY]

if that helps ya in neway ..???

[Craved]

well if it is blowby coming from the PCV valve in the rocker cover then it would be going into the intake anyway (black pipe crossing the covers ontop of engine) ... so that can explain oil in the cooler too! take the pipe off the top of the engine and see if there is wet oil in there- a healthy engine shouldn't have heaps of oil in the pipe! if it runs out of that then it's ring lands if not then the turbo is gone!

or you can get a leak down tester from autoone or something and test it that way. it will have instructions with it!
