smoke is gray

 

i took the car to OH rx7 store i got all my parts from them

jason tuned it
car was feeling realy good responsive man i loved it....


came back with it... within first 1500miles i have changed gasket on manifold 3 times.... got sick of doing that and purchased another manifold from them fixed that problem...then i had another problem manifold moved a turbo lil bit and down pipe and mid pipe was not conecting right - fixed that to, by custom making a exhaust with vband flanges and at the same time routed the wastgate back in....never ending problems

car needs lil bit tune correction but it not to far off

i cant stop by NYC right now... got to much on my plate i just might garage it until next year

 

grey/black smoke just like that realy rich on idle....

 

so as far as turbo goes do you guys think its ok to have oil going out to air filter and inside the ic piping... on 3k gt35r turbo

i personaly dont like it on bit

 

Seems like a rash of these single turbo manifolds leaking. Nothing seals like good ol' cast iron, folks. Sometimes my "slow" BNR Stage 2s ain't so bad....

 

Serb, you missed DaveW' s question on the first page.

Depending on the plumbing of your engine venting system (PVC), it can suck a shot of oil into the turbo. The two tubes coming off of the oil filler go where?

Barry

 

Light bluish-gray (oil), or dark gray, like a storm cloud (too rich)?

Dave

 

Grey/Black smoke means unburnt fuel. No need to send the turbo off. Are you running an ignition amp? If not, buy one and get it retuned.

 

I still have the pcv valve in place

i will chack it

not familiar how to eliminate pcv

 

yes i got HKS twin power

 

djseven tells how he did it in the link I posted:

Look at post # 21.

Since you are single turbo you will need to tap the compressor housing pre compressor blade and add a nipple to run a line from the oil filler neck to the intake. Your other option is to install a catch can with breather, either will help if it is a pcv issue. Once you have done either of the above remove the PCV and cap off the manifold where it was attached.

 

PVC got it now....

today

i capped off the pvc and oil filter neck

whent out for a drive

7500 rpm 4th gear i let off smoke

normal driving no smoke

its hard to tell from inside the car but smoke seemed to be grey

the exhaust is black and some black on the bumper

some detonations after that inside the exhaust

will look in to installing oil catch can

and just drive it slow for now


i can datalog some runs if any one willing to take a look

i can also get the car on the dyno....and i can set up conection to my laptop so tuner can control my laptop from his...you would see my laptop screen on yours....with high speed internet conection.... dyno log and widband at the tailpipe and fc datalogit with aem widband aftre the turbo.... if any one can tune this way

 

Do you have both of the nipples on the filler neck capped off? If so that is not good.

 

yea i capped them bouth off

should i leave one open...


-----------

i am still getting way to much oil in compressor housing

 

Removed - posted on wrong thread - sorry.

 

Yes, leave one open, even better if you can attach a nipple to the compressor housing pre compressor wheel to pull some very very slight vacuum thru the line. Uncap one of them immmediately. Have you tried driving the car with the oil fill cap removed? If not, give it a try and report back.

David

 

as my car is currently not running and I can't drive it around to try this, what does it do?

 

Configures it like Mazda does from the factory

 

Btw, the OP is selling his turbo kit b/c 'his oil control rings are bad and the engine needs a rebuild.'

Serb, you plan to post here and give us an update?

 

yea i did that

 

drove the car around with diffrent thing that where sugested and the car just started smoking more and more on the idle to as there was to much oil building up in piping...

i took all the piping off and IC started the car on idle car didnt smoke any more and the turbo was just spiting oil...

and its turbo after all

i was just listening too many people

i closed the for sale thread on my turbo kit as turbo is bad

no shaft play there is just to much oil going in to compressor housing

i am currently looking for a rebuild kit or if some one can do the rebuild

 

Just because the turbo comes with a restrictor doesn't mean it's the right size. My buddy had to get a smaller one for his turbo that he put on his s2000 about two months ago, caused it to smoke. Maybe try that and hope the turbo isn't TOO damaged.

 

no need for rebuild kit lol....

rubber oil line was kinked all the way....just couldnt see it untill i took the turbo out...thanks everyone for the support....

 

you had a rubber oil feed line? Stainless steel seems to be the standard. or maybe you're talking about the drain line, which was causing oil to back up?
