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....

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
