All,

 

engine forge rebuild with full balancing however it smokes which is minimal and i think it is due to rich mixture as can smell fuel

 

pcv is to air so manifold return is blocked off.

 When on i can see mist of smoke on idle from catch can which is strange and wanted to seek opinion here before going back to tuner

 

Has anyone here followed the hpacademy as looking to learn and tune the ecu myself . I have purchased their engine rebuild course and it is quite good

Did you run it in hard with mineral oil or baby it with synthetic oil? If you don't run it in properly you will end up with glazed bores and rings that don't bed in. Have you measured your oil consumption?

Re the tuning do you have a wide band sensor installed?

By run in do you mean inserting piston or bed in?

 

i didn’t do it as tuner did and remember on one of the pics there was fair bit of oil in bore and he said it was the bore oil

 

it has done 300 miles since and expect to return and change oil at 1k ( bed in period)

I did ‘t rebuild but with a tuner having 10 years of experience and many skyline seen there then I would have though all rings are clocked( not aligned) unless he has given it to one of his workers and they have f**ked up

 

re run in, he did and I wasn’t there . I got it back after car had run in excess of 5 hours and currently on 300 miles of the bed in oil

 

would you use baby oil for first start up?

hmmmmmmm..

 

Need more info man. there are many reasons an engine can smoke, with different causes. But realistically you should be directing your questions and concerns should be directed to the builder.

You need to read more carefully. There is no mention of baby oil anywhere.

The run in procedure is important. I would want to be there.

To repeat a relevant question have you measured any oil consumption?

Yes, it will cause smoke if one got damaged or wasn't fitted properly.

A valve without a stem isn't a valve, you are refering to valve stem seals, big difference!

Run a compression test to see what all your cylinder pressures are that will show if the rings seated. I'd call your tuner up and ask him who built your engine to c if they reused valve stems or maybe didn't install one correctly or tell your tuner what's going on he should have the best insight on the topic.

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
