Iam purschasing a 92 hatch with a b16 on boost, but the problem is the the car smokes! it smokes all the time a white/black smoke. He said that is the turbo burning oil its some shitty ebay turbo! the car has alot of power and is semi built. The car was running for about 20min at idle and didnt even come close to overheating!
I will be purchasing this car tommorow what should i check for b4 doing this?
Iam planning to change the turbo anyways


Thanks for the help guys!!

oh its on 8 lbs!!

 

 

hey also check to make sure he doesnt have a coolent leek or maybe a bad piston ring that happen to one of my friends they had a pritty bad seal leak and he was burning and loosing oil and his pistons got fried.

 

how should i check this??

 

well you can take a comprssion tester with you and check the compression in all 4cylinders if there all of that means you have a leek or somthing is off now checking for coolant thats a little differnt I would say if the oil smells like coolant or looks like a heavy or dark green color that means he has coolant leeking into the engine

 

I wouldn't buy a project car that doesn't work right. If he bought a cheap-*** ebay turbo, who knows what else he skimped on the car.

 

ok what should comp. be at? b16a with 9:7 cp pistons

 

it sounds like it the turbo take the intercooler pipe off and see if there is oil in it. 300 repair and you are back on the road.

 

well that is a tuff question but I will just say this if all 4 are about the same there good inf one or more has different numbers there somthing bad in that cylinder

 

did u boost the car/redline when u test drove it and didn't run hot? do the comp test and make sure the #'s are even or at the most within 20 psi of each other..not sure what its supposed to be at..how much are u getting the car for?

any1 else

 

is there anything else i should check?

 

HELP PLEASE!!

 

Hmmmmm

 

 

i will be looking at car today at 5pm

 

save yourself some time check the turbo in and out play and for oil in the pipes first. It is the quickest thing to do. It is also the most likley problem you have.

 

ok so if theres oil in the ic pipes then thats the problem? that means thats its burning the oil!!

It means the turbo is failing and oil from inside the turbo is buring in the exhaust. It is a common problem when turbos are on the way out.

 

ok cool!! iam deff gonna check that first!

 

 

so whats the word little buddy what wa sthe prob did you get it
