um nah only had the car 4 2 weeks..hacnt had chance 2 get it dynoed......an yeah soon as i touch the throttle it blowws LOTS of smoke...an i mean LOTS.......it dont wait secons then come out..its as soon as u touch the throttle i comes out....

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......

Your answer Chris

if its thrown the exh wheel of the turbo it wont smoke hard from a cold start untill the exh gets a bit warm and the oil starts burning in the exh housing and exh(couple of minutes). Happened on mine, spat the exh wheel out, no real smoke till it warmed up a bit and then massive plumes of white smoke out the exh under throttle

im assuming if its rings it'll smoke whenever theres pressure in the cylinder/s regardless of engine temp

ok then,

i have gone out 2 c the mess again this morning...... :) um i started it an put the foot down....the turbo spooled up an it blew whitey grey smoke......so wat is me best answer as 2 wat 2 do now.....??? thanx guys

white smoke is if the turbo is blown generally, blue for engine, black if ur running very rich.

Your basically describing white smoke as far as i can tell. (whitey grey). Does the turbo whine at all on boost? I'd get a bov as well even if it is stock. It may be stuffed rings but from what i was always told, blue smoke equals engine, white equals turbo. I suggest putting a bov on and borrowing another turbo from someone and giving that a quick try. I'd clean everything out first though.

Did u buy the car from anyone off here?

no smoke under the oil cap......

no smoke newere exept im masses out of my exaust... an turbo is throwing LOTS an mean LOTS of oil straight up the intake pipe an into the motor.....i took the cap of were the BOV is meant 2 b.....an as i reved it it threw like u buket load of oil out of the hole....

personally with how it looks..i reakon its a turbo seal has gone.....an its jus throwing all the oil up the pipes into the motor then the oil is burning an thats y it has so much smoke coming out....

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
