Hey all i need a bit of help, i have just fitted a new radiator, front mount intercooler, hybrid turbo and mongoose exhaust. Now i also had to change my core plugs and went to wash them out but flushing them through, i didnt know that if u were to put a hose up the thermostat housing it would push the water back out and it went everywhere including quite a bit in my uncovered afm. Now the problem i have is it never used to smoke at all before i did all this and now seems to be puffing out huge amounts of white/grey smoke, i have come to the conclusion it requires a set up but surely this would not cause it to make soo much smoke, any help is greatly appricated.

 

Was the turbo brand new if not it maybe that thats fucked

 

no the turbo wasnt brand new and i am starting to think it might be that, on sunday im going to remove it and fit the old one back on as see what that does, could it be the oil stem's (if thats the correct word) that have gone????

 

sorry to hear your having bad luck with the car mines is a nightmare just got a rebuilt engine for it the old one was fucked and ive got wiring problems

 

does sound lyk oil seals mate

 

was the exhaust brand new ?

 

or something might have got into intercooler

 

If you've fitted an unknown second hand turbo, and all of a sudden your car mysteriously starts smoking.........

Doesnt take a brain surgeon does it

eBay by any chance?

 

i know it doesnt take a brain but i was only finding out other possibliltys, no the turbo wasnt off ebay and its a turbo technics stg 2 hybrid, i am going to fit my old one back on and see if it makes a difference.

 

My choice of words werent the best there mate, i didnt mean that how it sounded

Where did you get the turbo, you did say it was second hand yea?

 

Id say that if it was fine before you fitted that turbo then it will be that Have you checked it for play in the shaft???

 

There won't always be play in the shaft, if there is its a DEFO fucked, but its very possible to wear the oil seals without having play in the shaft

 

I know that i was just asking if he did check it for play before he put it on as it was second hand and thats the first thing i would have done as soon as i got it out the box

 

If you were him.............he'd be you















FUCK THAT

 

You funny fucker

 

well yeh there is a small amount of play in the shaft but i have just taken off the turbo and looked into the exhaust housing and found a white smeary substance like watery stuff, any help there????

 

It may be cracked internally and be mixing coolant with oil.

Try your old one again, and check the state of your oil before running the engine again aswell

 

yeh works fine now with no smoke, just need some new studs for my exhaust as they wont go in, does anyone have any they can send me as i cant find anywhere open on a sunday!!!!

 

If we were to post you some it wouldnt be there til at least tuesday

Glad its sorted the smoking out, you wana be getting in touch with whoever sold you the turbo!

 

i know the bloke who sold me the turbo he's a good mate and i dont mind i didnt pay much for it at all, who could i get it rebuilt by and maybe uprated??? its a turbo technics stg 2 hybrid
