turbominicooper Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have random plumes of smoke occurring when I'm decelerating downhill towards a red light for example or when I accelerate an incline in the wrong gear (3rd round a corner up a hill for example).I'm not really seeing smoke anywhere else such as stand still, startup etc.I did have an oily turbo of which I've eliminated a lot of smoke by turning the boost right down.am I right in thinking this is the valve stems?

5e colin Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 delete the turbo altogether ryan and take her for a spin to check could be just all turbo smoke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 yeh i did think that, just read a few articles on valve seals and veered towards that. will delete the setup and see how she goes. cheers man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) if u have a smokey ct9 then gut it and weld up the centre hole where shaft goos and block the oil feed with a normal bolt very good for nct/mot i got 0.05 on emissions better then the na engines ha ha Edited May 27, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I didn't think it was a good idea to run a car without the turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Calum122 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) why not ???? no problem attal Because the engine is designed to be assisted by the turbo, without the turbo, the ignition, low compression pistons and head clearance, will cause induced lugging due to the lack of performance. The mapping and fueling is designed with the turbo forced induction in mind. Basically Colin, I forgot to do a boost pipe up on my motor and it blew off, and the car was a little more difficult to drive. Kept stalling it and shit cause it wasn't getting the assistance of the turbo. So I figured it can't be good for the engine. Edited May 27, 2015 by Calum122 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 no no no your wrong there its just low compression the ecu is mapped for it as having no boost it fuels fine in na form the ecu only starts adjusting 1s the map sensor sees boost my friend is running gt ecu/coil electronics setup with throttle bodys for the 8000rpm limiter and goos like a rocket me to i run turbo less but low compression 4efte pistons now runs perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 delete the turbo altogether ryan and take her for a spin to check could be just all turbo smoke deleted and ran for a few days, smoke is dramatically reduced but im still getting this huge puffs when decelerating suddenly ie; high reving in3rd/4th then hitting the brakes down into 2nd (cornering) and accelerating - this is when the smoke occurs; not on startup or idle??

5e colin Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Vseals so whats the comp on the cylinders ?? maybe rings ? drop a rope in the cilinder so head doesnt have to come off :) ( dont drop the end of the rope in the cilinder ha ha ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 not looking good :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Does this mean I get an apology? As the turbo kit was actually perfectly fine, like I said it was and your engine was smoking and naffed the entire time.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Does this mean I get an apology?As the turbo kit was actually perfectly fine, like I said it was and your engine was smoking and naffed the entire time.... apology... for what? ive said since deleting the turbo from the equation the smoke has dramatically reduced however now i have random plumes which was a secondry oil contributor to your turbo kit. anyway after i said id report back u closed my feedback thread for your turbo so i couldnt comment further on it, how exactly would i of apologised ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 lol. Your down on compression... Reason smoke will reduce is because there is no boost pressure in the cylinders anymore...Not because the turbo is smoking... Your engine has issues... The turbo does not... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) probly a bit of both >>>> will have to fix engine first to see ha ha , Edited May 30, 2015 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 by the way is this on the fte or he Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 by the way is this on the fte or he fte, fhe is sitting on the floor my garage waiting for me to b arsed to buy a rebuild kit and fit it. im in a predicament now tbh as i needed a driver and the fte was meant to turbo the sera (to sell) to fund the gt 5e conversion but now ive got 2 dudds half thinking put the fhe na whilst im doing the sera up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 i would just boost the stock 5e for now there strong enough for boost unopened just dont go crazy on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbominicooper Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yeh but that's down on #1 compression too, u think 4 psi on the td04 b ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 that will work any more psi and the fueling will be off to much if its down on 1 to forget it it needs rebuild :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
