Gumball89 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I turboed my sr with a standed glanza turbo kit now it seems to be smoking like foock white smoke so cant be oil :/ any advice ? Quote
onnaj1000 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 White smoke is usually coolant, so maybe a blown headgasket? Quote
Socks Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 headgasket. especially if you've just boosted it... Quote
Gumball89 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 what head gasket would you recommend ? not going for stupid power or boost Quote
5e colin Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 i would use stock toyota gasket or as rob says with athena but then a 2mm 1 to lower compression Quote
Gumball89 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 What thinkness is a standed head gasket not gunna be pushing stupid boost or power Quote
RobSR Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Stock is 1.2mm. Just get the head skimmed if you go for a MLS Athena one. You still on the engine that was in the car when you brought it? If so and it hangs together with some boost going through it thats heroic! Edited May 5, 2015 by RobSR Quote
Gumball89 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 haha yea same engine when I brought it from you (I think it was you) only going for low boost but boost is boost lol im thinking of rebuilding everything rings bearings headgasket and stem seals or just doing the head and stem seals and when the others go doing them. going to do timming belt dizzy and rotor arm regardless Quote
RobSR Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Yea it was me buddy. Good to hear, let me know how you get on! How many miles are on it now? Quote
