my newley turboed civic started smoking from the exhaust and under the hood

im leaking oil from my turbo (return line and feed)

and i found oil where my mesh screen filter was

i did a compression check and everything is good about 220 across

i also found a little oil in my radiator

but no coolant in my oil

is it my head gasket???
is it my turbo ???

please help

sounds like your seals are blown (turbo ones). Or you are just leaking oil all over a hot turbo causing it to smoke.

Check your downpipe and/or charge pipes. If there is oil in them, its your seals. If there isn't then its the leaking oil on the turbo causing the smoke. good luck!

its probably your turbo seals leaking oil into your DP causing it to smoke

do a leakdown test to find out if its your head or the hg for sure

how do i do a leak down test????

If you are leaking oil, and smoking from your exhaust its your turbo oil seals. When i installed the oil return line everything seemed fine. I have had another car that had the max-rev return line nylon/rubber material get heated up and get a kinked in the line. If yours did that your oil seals are def. gone. Just feel the return line for any kinks, if you have one that is your culprit. If the oil feed line is leaking, then crank the feed fitting into the turbo housing a little bit more. I used thread sealant on all the threads, but with excess pressure inside of the turbo cartridge it could be making its way out to the atmosphere.

I finally realized why your car was not drivable at all with the Hondata, it was your injectors. They must have been low impedance and needed a resistor box, I had the same situation occur a few later when tuning a car that was supposed to have high impedance injectors from Viren. I tested the injector with my volt meter and found they were 5 ohm, not the 10-12 ohm for high resistence.

yep it was the damn injectors

thanks for the input jeff

yeah, jeff is right if your oil return line was kinked up it will cause your car to smoke white.

What color is the smoke?

BTW if the oil mixed with the anti -freeze it could be because of the hair line crack on your sleeve.

You probably should upgrade the oil return line to braided material. It wont deflect and tend to kink as easily as the nylon/rubber material of the max-rev kit.

wow, another complaint....

redline201

colin if i had a hairline crack in my sleeve
would the compression test show that?

ekb18c

leakdown would show it.

I suspect that you have a hair line crack because where else would anti-freeze and oil get a chance on mixing? In the block offcourse.

how do i do a leakdown???

let's take it to PM
