soon as i start the car it seems fine.....touch the throttle an it looks like theres a bush fire in my exaust tonnes an tonnes of whity grey smoke pours out......turbo still comes on boost.....no knocks or noises at all in the motor or newere on the car......oil is ALL through the piping on the engine side of the turbo......an i mean LOTS OF OIL......there is no smoke or any vapour under the oil filler cap nor any milky build up newere.....the only place i can c oil is leaking out of is were the BOV is meant 2 b.....so would b coming out the BOV if i had 1 there.....that is all i kan tell u at the moment from wat i have cheked.........

hope this can help sum ppl with trying 2 diagnose my car

Its dead easy to diagnose and you've been told a few times in this thread. Get a compression test done. Any mechanic can do it.

If your compression is down your engine is stuffed. Then you get a leakdown test to work out if its the pistons and rings or if its the head. Then you start saving.

If the compression is OK its almost certainly your turbo, get it taken off and inspected by someone who knows turbos.

But don't keep asking for help and then ignoring when ppl give you the right answer.

From a very similar experience, Number 6 Cylinder, ring lands are on their way out.. It will only be a matter of time until you put a hole through the piston its self and then its a new set of pistons job....

If you do a compression test it will still have compression in the cylinder, but may be a little less then the others. It will be number 6 cylinder that will go first. So see if you can do a check on it, but it will eventually get worse depending on, If you bring it on boost a lot.

thanx ppl's....

ohh an im not inoring ne1 if i was inoring u then would i be busy at the moment trying 2 find a mechanic 2 do these test 4 me asap..??? neway thanx 4 the advice........BBQ so wat u r saying is even if it is the ringlands on 6 an i get that fixed then sooner or l8r that no.6 is gonna go neway..????

COSTS INVOLVED IN A REBUILD:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Remove and Replace engine - $1500

Labour to strip down and rebuild motor - $1500-2000

Head service - $600

Miscellaneous gaskets, oils, etc etc - $500

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Forged pistons - $900 -> $3000

It should cost anywhere from about $4000 upwards to do a proper engine rebuild, not including any upgraded parts like forged pistons, rod bolts, etc etc... Add those to the rebuild cost.

She's only a lowly paralegal, but she's got GREAT legs :D

Does it cost a lot more to R&R an RB26? They're the prices I'm working off that I was quoted from 3 workshops here in Sydney to R&R my RB26... I wouldn't have thought an RB25 would be that different? dunno.gif

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
