Tha Dragon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi there Guy'sAbout a month ago,i just replaced my clutch kit with a corolla Racing Clutch kit and went to test it that night my car boost 9.7 PSI,but on that night my car began to let out some smoke,and now i start my car take it to work not even riding it with boost and when i arrive at work and let the turbo timer countdown after a few seconds it begins to smoke like hell,but when i drive it with a bit of boost before arriving at work and let the turbo timer countdown it won't smoke.it's going on for a month now and it burned out almost all my oil.Can somebody give me some advice about it and what's going on with my car?and what should i do to fix it?Thanks in advanceTha Dragon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lisurngt Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 sounds like the oil seal in the turbo......? but im no expert im sure some of the other guys can help u better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 does it smoke on boost? if it only seems to smoke on idle that will be your valve stem seal, passing oil into the chamber and burning making it smoke on idle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ibz Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 deffo sounds like oil seals mate. mine used to do the exact same, i changed the turbo and its perfect now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Generally speaking, Bluey pale petrol smelling smoke, and smoke when youre putting the car under strain is valve seals.Grey, oily stinking smoke on idle is turbo seal shot.If it ONLY chucks out oily grey smoke on idle, then its youre turbo.Either send it away to get reconned, or recon it youreself.There pretty simple if you have a bit of common sense Hope that helps bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
