smoke

[tom t]

ive got the car running now.
i have just dropped the oil earlier must have done about 100 miles before i changed it.
im now getting blue smoke on idel.

im just woundering weither this could be a breather hose on wrong somewhere?

or is it definatley the turbo? cheers


it still goes well though thats why im thinking its not the turbo.
as it just kept up with my m8s punto on just over 0.5bar off boost and he was on the same.

and hes got a seb 2 chip and front mount.

It could still be the turbo. Take the air filter off and check for oil inside the turbo.

[tom t]

i will do but its going to have to be 2moz now. bloody winter or should i say bloody 5

[tom t]

if i was to take the filter off and there was no oil there.

could the seals have gone on the exhaust side?
cheers

[tom t]

also what would happen if i didnt have the one way valve in the back of the inlet manifold?

not sure if i have or not. just see it on this thread Oil in intercooler

[Shane P]

It could be your valve stem oil seals or your turbo. You need to take the exhaust elbow off the back of the turbo to check for oil, if you find it the turbo oil seals are fooked.

What grade engine oil do you use?

If you dont have the one way valve and you have the standard breather pipe setup, the turbo will come on boost and pressurise the breather system, rocker cover and probably send pressure down into the sump as well

I dont know for sure, but thats what its all connected to.

15w40 engine oil. i have just started it up to show a m8.
and looked at the turbo and it looks like oils coming out of the turbo on the exhaust side. as i can actually see oil around it.

what does the breather look like?
and dont suppouse any1s got a part number for it?
cheers

Could also be a too small diameter for the turbo oil return hose... or a kinked/blocked one... have you checked that? If that one's too restrictive, the turbo gets backfilled with oil, which can go through the seals because of the pressure build-up...

[Brigsy]

Turbo has probably had it, check for play in the shaft. They always seem to boost ok even when they smoke badly.

[tom t]

i think so to.
so what turbo do i go for? really confuesed lol as i dont really understand the .ar`s and stuff.

i dont want something thats going to be to laggy.
i also want something that could run up to 180bhp.
looking at this

or is this the same?

and ive been looking on ktecs website possibley the KTR 180
or the one up from that but its a bit pricey and then it might just be worth getting one of the gts?

cheers for any help it will be much appreciated as im lost

[tom t]

ive put an old turbo on.
baiscally i blew a liner agers ago and thought it was the turbo originaly and replaced it. but that didnt fix it.

so ive whacked that turbo on. and no smoke so far.

will still look a getting abetter turbo very soon.

[OUTLAW]

got the same prob mate, shes tapping somwhere?? thought it was the manifold, but sounds like its coming from the back of the turbo...just bought another t2 today, but its got a single hose coming out of the acuator, where as, mine has two...not sure what to do with thatany ideas?? i was told it was some kind of "cup mod"...still have`ent found out what that tapping is

[tom t]

i think you could run one pipe from that actuator port to the carb base.
and loop tthe two ports on the car elbow.
not 100% sure though so someone more qualified would be better to help.

but then saying that in this link below thats baiscally what it shows.
