Smoke when lifting off after 5500 rpm
Just got a 92 RX7 RZ in from japan today and when I was driving it home from the docks I noticed that when I lift off after about 5500 rpm blue smoke comes out the exhaust. Does this mean one of the turbo's is gone or are the engine seals are gone .

How do you know the apex seals are gone? the car starts perfectly and you can rev it all you want upto 3000 rpm with no smaoke at all. I think that i will just get the turbos rebuilt as i have spoken to a few people about this and they all think it's just turbo seals. thanks for your help anyway.

How many miles on the motor/turbos? Its most likely turbos. thats how it starts, a little smoke when you lift. Then it turns into more and more smoke until you acutally start gushing oil right out of the tailpipe! i've seen it and i've gotten a windshield full of oil from driving behind an FD w/blown twins(embarrasing 007 smokescreen - lol)

there's 60000kms on the engine. It starts within 1 or 2 seconds everytime and will idle smoothly. I'm hoping that it is only the turbos as i dont want to have to rebuild the engine allready.
Do you think i should replace both turbos or is it likely to be only one giving trouble?
