a little or a lot of oil and smoke?

its normal for them to get a little moist and spew a little bit of smoke.

JSpecwest

There is oil splattered under my hood and lots of smoke. The smoke comes into the car through the vents and I can see it coming out under my hood when im driving. Its not normal

piston problem

JSpecwest

Like rings? Im doing a compression test later this afternoon. There is also a lot of smoke coming out my exhaust.

Purelude

keep us updated on the compression check.

your bummed......bye bye motor.......

JSpecwest

Well maybe its time to take the turbo off, and put all the stock parts back on and take to to the dealership and say, "What the ****? My car blew up for no apparent reason. Now fix it!"

GSRwBOOST

do that and some of us will loose all respect for you...

but to each his own..

JSpecwest

I was just joking...but now that I think about it $4500 is worth more than your respect!

outlawtas

haha, yeah just do that, they should cover it anyways! lol, just playin.

doens't sound nice...let's wait for the compression checks...see what the cylinders have to say about this!

jinxproof99

you should ******* do that. dealers dick people every 5 seconds. do it and let me know if it works.

It is perfectly normal to have some smoke and oil coming out of your breather. First of all, how is the car running? If it is running normal it is probably something minor. I doubt you have done anything serious to your motor especially if you have been running low boost.

Check to see if you have an oil leak from either your oil return line connection on your pan or from your sending line at your oil pressure unit. Also check to see if you have lost any coolant. Both of these will cause lots of smoke.

It is NEVER minor.
Oil and smoke should NEVER come out of the breather. A drop or two of oil
is possible, but not through a filter. Always bad news when that happens

BlwnBlue

engine codes 71,72,73,74....smoke and oil all over the place...cyl # 3 Burned!

LOL.. just checking..

i know one guy who took his R back 3 times for the motor.. kept blowing it up with nitrous and taking the kit off and taking it back to the dealer... havn't heard anything about him for a while... but he def has respect problems now.. i dont know too many that talk to him..

JSpecwest

I do have a leak in my oil return line. The whole underside of my car is covered in oil. I did a compression test today and here are the numbers.

1 cylinder - 230 psi
2 cylinder - 120 psi
3 cylinder - 120 psi
4 cylinder - 120 psi

So my guess is I have a blown headgasket, ringlands are messed up, or burnt exhaust valves. How do I figure out what the problem is without taking apart my motor?

accordking

Did you perform a wet compression check? You might want to if you haven't

accordking

Run the motor when it's cold and pull the radiator cap off. If bubbles are coming out you have a bad head gasket. You didn't complain anything about your motor overheating though. Well do it anyway and let us know. Bad rings or ringlands sounds like your problem. I took apart a blown bone stock B16 motor with a custom turbo kit(exact symtoms you're experiencing) and this is what I discovered.

All four piston with cracked rings and ringlands!!!! When I pulled the piston out of the block the ringland literally fell off. Seriously!

JSpecwest

Im assuming thats where you put a few drips of oil in the cylinder and then perform the test. Yes we did that and it gained maybe 2-3 psi.

SIK IN DA HED

daym... who installed your turbo kit? youve had nothing but problems since you got it installed. thats exactly why you get it done right the first time!

Pro-Lude

That happend to me when my balnce shaft blew out, Check your exhaust valves. More then likely they are bent. That will also be why you compression numbers are off.

IgniteTeg

Damn tell me if the dealer bought your story I would like to know if it works or not. Also as for compression test check usually what numbers are normal and what numbers are abnormal thanks.

most likely its ringlandings my car did that i had to much timing i broke it on 3 pistons my timing belt was one tooth off i was at 8 psi i had smoke spraying out my valve cover like a bicth and out my dip stick hole

sgT

Yup. You cracked 3 pistons. Ring lands specifically
